Tasty Tuesday–Universal Yums

I’m guessing by now you’ve heard of Universal Yums or a similar international snack box subscription. For his birthday at the beginning of the year, I got Ryan a basic six-month subscription to Universal Yums (the “Yum Box,” which has five to seven snacks each month, plus a booklet with fun trivia unique to that month’s country), and for our anniversary last month, we decided to renew the subscription and also upgrade to a “Super Yum Box” (15-18 snacks, including a drink unique to that month’s country), and that’s what I’m going to take a look at today.

We got lucky with our first Super Yum box…it took us to the United Kingdom!

The scorecard for the snacks is huge compared to the ones that came with the Yum Box!

There were expected snacks like Jammie Dodgers and salt & vinegar crisps:

And lots of candy options!

Here’s a look at the beverage for the month:

Hands-on activities were included, too…in addition to the booklet, which has trivia plus recipes, we received a Yorkshire pudding and pancake mix so we can do some cooking at home!

We tried three of the more unusual items first…Purple Vimto, a fizzy beverage flavored with grape, blackcurrant, and raspberry which was delightful, rhubarb and custard bon bons, which were very popular, and pickled onion rings, which I liked but were overall pretty controversial.

We really look forward to seeing what country we’ll be visiting each month…with the first subscription, we got to experience Thailand, the Baltics, Ukraine, France, Poland, and Spain, and after the United Kingdom, I can’t wait to see where we’ll go for the remainder of the year!
