Taste Test – MunchPak (December 2022)

Asia, Europe, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, MunchPak, North America, South Korea, Spain, Taste Test, Turkey

This is our first subscription box from MunchPak. The quality of the snacks were Okay but it was disappointing that the snacks were from many different locations rather than from a single country or region. There were more sweet snacks than savory than what we had seen in other subscription boxes. The box had one information card that described each snack and identified the country of origin. The box is acceptable if you just want a variety of snacks to sit down with in front of the TV but if you are planning on an educational element on different countries I would recommend another subscription service.
