It would be a Five ☆☆☆☆☆ review if it wasn't for the false advertising about beverages. I got the Deluxe 3 month subscription and every photo has a beverage displayed. I did add the $6 beverage add on (thinking I'd get at least 2 up to 4 drinks!) But I only got the one. I even reached out to the team to ask if I can expect more drinks in different boxes and they said no, drinks are not included with the Deluxe box. I hope they change the pictures or description to include that. It was very disheartening.
OTHERWISE, incredible! The steak flavored cheetos were my favorite salty snack and the strawberry chocolates from Japan were my favorite sweet. To address some complaints:
*People said they were disappointed with the amount.*I was only expecting 18 snacks and we got like 30! I got the subscription so it came with an extra box of just Japanese snacks, but it was way more than I was expecting!
*People said they didn't like getting duplicates* I did get 3 duplicates, but two of them were delicious so I was more than happy to have extras.
*People said the snacks weren't very good*, I know it's pricey, buy get a bigger box. If I only got hard candies, chocolate, and pretzels, I'd be pretty disappointed too. But because there was so much variety, there were tons of great options.
Healthy balance of salty, sweet, and neutral (like a not too sweet cookie, or honey Pretz). Healthy variation of sweets, like gummies, hard candy, gum, chocolate, biscuits and baked goods.
Cannot wait for the next box!
