This has been great experience at trying treats from other countries. You get an idea of types of foods a popular for a region. The Pakistan box has been my absolute favorite.

Wish

Love my Yum boxes this way. I get to try stuff from all over. I just wish they would leave out some of the Potato Chips and stuff and give us something like jerky, or uh, China has duktongs, something unusual. You can get Potato Chips anywhere. Some of the cookies aren't bad be. Nice, if there was more variety of unusual cookies. I do like the different drinks. So far, those have not been too awful bad, I've actually found a couple of drinks that I really liked. I do wish where they ask you if you want anything hot, they would actually give you stuff that are not hot. I can't do hot Potato Chips or anything else. That's real spicy, but they keep sending me spicy stuff even though I said no, they need to look at what you actually say.You would like to have

Great countries

They deliver the box in a timely manner and my daughter and granddaughters love some of the items in the box. Some of them I can't eat but that's okay. We also love the little baggies with candy in them.

I look forward to receiving my YUM

I look forward to receiving my YUM. Each country has different type goodies and opening the box then reading about the country is exciting for me. Then charting what I think I will enjoy most out of the treats. So far I have not been disappointed.

Unique Gift Idea

I have been getting the Universal Yums snack box for about 6 months, and my family really enjoys the opportunity to try so many unique snacks each month. While there are some snacks that we don't love, it's still an awesome opportunity to learn more about other countries and sample their most popular snacks. This box is also a great gift for people that are tough to buy for or who have a lot of travel experience. We have loved 90% of the items we have received.

I look forward to taste different snacks from each country. However, there are several snacks I give away because I don’t like them such as anything “SPICY” and some “covered in sugar candies”(they’re I’m every single box). I wish that we get to choose what we would like in our box since we’re paying customers.

The time spent with my grandchildren…

The time spent with my grandchildren learning about another culture. They often say things like this is something I would never normally try and they like it normally something is spicy or they normally look at it and say no I wouldn't try this this sounds too spicy or something they try it a little bite and even if they know they won't like it they still try it it's a fun little thing for all of us to do together.

Fun and educational

We’ve been receiving Universal Yums boxes for the past seven months, and it’s been a fantastic experience for our family. Each month, we look forward to opening the box together and using it as an opportunity to learn about different countries and cultures. It’s also been a fun and engaging way to teach our kids geography.

The snacks are unique and often unfamiliar, but that’s part of the fun, trying new things with an open mind. We’ve only had one issue where a box didn’t arrive, but after reaching out via email, the company promptly sent a replacement within a few days. The customer service was excellent.

I highly recommend Universal Yums. It’s not just entertaining, it’s educational. Our kids love it, and even their friends think it’s the coolest thing!

Tasty

Before my mom passed away, we would sample and ask each other about the taste. There has only been three snacks that were not liked. The tomato and basil crackers in the box from Italy, the baklava from Greece, too sweet and licorice that was sweet and salty from the Netherlands. Everything else was delicious. Can't wait until my next box.

Definitely approved

My husband and I have enjoyed the boxes. We look forward to our “trip” to another country each month. As with anything, there are good snacks and ones that aren’t to my taste. But the quality is great.

I can't wait for my newest shipment

I can't wait for my newest shipment. We share with another couple on our euchre night! Big thing in Michigan. Every box comes in sturdy cardboard/corrugated so every snack inside is protected. Love to read the trivia and includes a couple of recipes from this area. Very fun. I will continue after my year contract is up.

I teach preschool in North Idaho and bought my class a subscription to try! They absolutely love it and look forward to universal yums day every month! It has gotten them to not only try new things but celebrate different cultures! I couldn't possibly be happier with the results!

Universal Yums provides everything for a fun program!

I've been using Universal Yums for a library program and it has been great. The monthly snacks are fresh and a good variety. The little booklet provides a trivia game and I really appreciate the ingredients list of each product for the participants that have food allergies. Universal Yums also provide a playlist that I run during the program. The program is doing so well that I renewed our subscription for another 6 months!
