Really fun thing to do with the family, great yums, but out of the 5 or 6 boxes we’ve received so far, they’ve all been from Europe! There is so much flavor all around the world and you choose Europe? For reference, so far we’ve received Russia Denmark Ukraine France Italy The Netherlands Germany There were several repeats, like ketchup chips certain hard candies, and I would just appreciate a little more variety.

Boxes came on a fairly timely basis and are definitely a super fun concept to share! Our family had a great time opening up the snacks together. However, there isn’t much diversity in the countries used for the yum boxes — out of all the boxes we got, only one wasn’t from a European country. Russia, Ukraine, the Netherlands, and Italy all had very similar contents. Would have appreciated a greater variety of Asian, South American, African, etc. countries in the selection!

Zero. Count it, ZERO. Interactivity. Their website is criminally negligent. CS just as bad. I bought a subscription- which was somewhat diificult with the limited interactivity. But was doable- after all it is MY MONEY GOING TO THEM. I have since broken ties with the person who I bought the crates for and both of us have moved on. Well my child was asking me where the boxes went and I was trying to tell her Im trying to to redirect the subscription here- to no avail. I sent them about a million e mails informing them the website will not direct me to where I can change the address. To NO AVAIL. AGAIN AND AGAIN I TOLD THEM THAT THEIR SITE DIDNT LEAVE ANY MORE CONTACT INFORMATION THAN THEIR USELESS CS DEPARTMENT. USELESS. AS IN STATE OF ILLINOIS USELESS. AS IN E MAILS COME BACK BUT BOXES DO NOT USELESS. AS IN DO YOUR JOBS USELESS. AS IN THEY HAVE ALMOST AS MANY BAD REVIEWS AS GOOD ONES YET STILL I AM COMPELLED TO WROTE THIS USELESS. I have used subscription based services before, and NEVER had this much trouble. DB UPDATE. They fixed stuff as soon as I posted a review. So they CAN be reached Now lets discuss the products. Yes. The Columbia box is ALL GOOD. Normally they have a box with SOME weird stuff but not Columbia. No. Its ALL good. If they keep up the good work I will renew.

Love it but I wish there was a way to review/rate the snacks online. Also, the website is just very....bare minimum with very little interactivity.

I had no issues with this company. Since I didn't get one of my boxes. I was given a free box in replace of my Super Yum box. If you are not into weird food, do not get this box. Most other countries have different taste. you are given a hint on next box, I would go see what foods that country likes.

This is really fun! And we don't even have kids. Four starts instead of 5 because it's somewhat expensive for the amount of treats you get, but it includes shipping, and a lot of fun additions to the actual snacks - trivia quizzes, other detailed information about the origin countries and about the snacks themselves. And some of the snacks are really great. Others are weird or not to our taste but isn't that sorta the point? - to experience what other cultures consider yummy, and sometimes that's really different than what Americans find yummy. So don't expect to love every item you get, but treat it as an adventure! Have gotten two boxes so far and no problems with shipping. Will likely continue to get new boxes if the "destination" country is interesting to us.

After a bad first experience I decided to give it one more try. Glad I did. Got the smallest box they offer. I still got three bags of chips which once again is disappointing but I rather have the smaller portions then the five big bags like in the biggest box. I am going do a trial run and see what the next box is like. Hopefully the next box has a little more variety.
