Taste Test – MunchPak February 2023 #2

Our second MunchPak for this month is again a total winner. We continue to be amazed at the quality of the snacks when compared to other subscription snack boxes. The only complaint being that the snacks come from a variety of countries and do not have a single theme. Although the box does not have the educational value of other subscriptions it is perfect for sitting down in front of the TV. This turned out to be our highest rated box ever Alex 8.04 out of 10, Joe 7.47 out of 10.

Taste Test – MunchPak (February 2023#1)

This MunchPak shipment is the first of two that arrived in February? Countries sampled this time were the same ones as last month; China, Japan, The Philippines, Turkey, Thailand, Korea, Italy and Mexico. I find the quality of the snacks in these boxes to be quite good but the lack of variety of countries from month to month is a definite drawback for a continued subscription. For the first time Alex and I got the exact same score for a subscription box 6.93 out of 10. The quality of these snacks is better than any other subscription boxes we received from Universal Yums or SnackCrate. If you just want a box of snacks to enjoy in front of the TV this box might be just for you. If you want more of an educational element for your kids I would suggest another subscription service.
