We were a little dissapointed that this month’s Universal Yums package was from “Scandinavia” and not from an individual country. We look forward every month to doing a deep dive in the country of origin for the yums and not a whole region. I am sure that each country could supply enough snacks to fill a box on the own. The countries represented in this box are: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and Iceland.
