MunchPak, who kindly sent me this package to review, is a monthly subscription service and ecommerce website that aims to introduce the best, new, and popular snacks from all over the world to the average Joe. MunchPak officially launches on 11/15/13 and is $19.95/month.
I didn’t remember that I was getting a MunchPak so I was confused at first when I found it on my porch. But when I remember that it was going to be a box full of snacks I was beyond excited to dig into it.
First of all, the box is HUGE. Surely it must be half full of packing materials right? WRONG. It’s all snacks!!! I was impressed already.
I’m not sure that my box had a theme, but it included tons of Sweet, Salty, Sour and Spicy treats. Since there were so many goodies in this box and I have so many pictures (I should have put multiple items in one picture) I made them on the smaller side.
~Mrs. Kleins Barrel Cured Pickel: I am fascinated by bagged pickles. How do they stay good? But they do and that’s all that matters. I am going to put this in the fridge and give it to WB when he’s super annoyed about his teeth. If B doesn’t get it first that is.
~Sabritones Chile & Lime Puffed Wheat Snacks: First of all these stink. Second of all they are delicious. Like a chile lime flavored funyun.
~Hawaiian Luau BBQ Chips: I haven’t opened these yet, but I suspect L is going to love them. I’ll put them in his lunch for a special treat.
~Sour Smog Balls: Sour Smog Balls? Who thinks of this stuff? That said my boys love them. Of course they do. They had L at the packaging.
~Riddles Skittles: I didn’t understand this at first, but I do know. The riddle is that the flavor of the skittle you get doesn’t match the color. Frankly I don’t know if L ever realized that the green skittle was supposed to be lime flavored? LOL.
~Oreos: Who doesn’t like Oreos? Even WB knows to take them apart and eat the filling first. You must be born with that knowledge.
~Rip Rolls: I’ve never seen such a thing. L loves it. And I can’t say I blame him.
~Quaker Granola Bar: I ate this after I took all my pictures. It was hard work.
~Planters Roasted Peanuts: Totally a B / L item. Probably a B item because he’ll eat them long before L ever sees them.
~Rice Krispie Treat: I might be the only one who likes pre-made Rice Krispie Treats better than homemade. And I think it’s cute that you can write on the package.
~Louck’s Sesame Snaps: I’m not totally sure how to describe these other than a bunch of sesame seeds fused together to form a cracker. They aren’t bad, just different.
~Kar’s Sweet ‘n Salty Mix: I wanted to open this and pick just the m&m’s out, but I restrained myself.
~Sour Punch: When B got home from work yesterday and saw the MunchPak all over the counter he kind of stared at it all, asked me what it was and stared at it again. And then he finally asked if I’d taken my pictures yet. After I said I did he scooped up a pile of candy to try, including one of these!
~Laffy Taffy: I don’t like Laffy Taffy, but the boys do. I don’t think any of us knew that this came in stick though.
~Taffy: I’d tell you what the flavors of these are and how they taste, but they are one of the things B scooped up. He seemed to enjoy them though.
~Keebler Fudge Stripes Cookies: I love these! They remind me of when I was a kid.
~Gray’on: I feel like I have had one of these before, but I don’t know? It’s a soft crystal like melon flavored candy. It’s not bad, just different.
~Marimbas: This is a cherry lollipop covered with spicy and sour candy. I am going to let L try this and watch the face he makes from the unexpected flavors.
~Kudos Dove Bar: A snack for L for next week for sure!
~Pecas Mango Lollipops: Another item I am staying away from. I just can’t get into suckers covered in chile powder. Who am I kidding. I’ll try it just in case it tastes different this time.
~Starbucks GummiBursts: I’ve never seen these before. They are gummy starburts with a liquid filling. I didn’t love them, but after I ate one and declared it not good, I asked for a second. B and L refused though and ate the bag in about two minutes.
~Fruit by the Foot: L loves these. Actually B does too. We’ll see who gets to it first.
~Meiji: I *think* these are like PopRocks, but I haven’t verified it yet. I am going to put them in L’s stocking for Christmas!
Phew! I didn’t do a cost breakdown on this, but I think it’s well worth the $19.95! If you are interested in subscribing or what to learn more head over here and check out their website. And you can use the code “SNACKIN” to save 10% off your first MunchPak.

Lol, I would love to try the Meiji and the Starbucks GummiBursts!
Who doesn’t love snacks delivered to you home! This looks great!
What a cool box of snacks!
This would disappear in our house very quickly!
The Starburst candy looks yummy!
I would love to try the pikachu candies!
Ha! And I thought I was the only one who liked prepackaged Rice Krispie treats better than homemade 🙂
Can I say all of them?! I think I’d be most excited about the Hawaiian chips. I had those in Hawaii last year and loved them.
The Oreos of course!
Meijji I love international snacks
The Riddle Skittles are right up my alley.
I’d want to try the riddles skittles and the starburst gummibursts
I think those mango chile suckers look good! 25 items for less than $20 isn’t bad!
Those starburst gummies!
I’m good with any of the fruity, chewy candy! Especially with sour.
Looks like a fun box to get!
I want to try the Riddles Skittles!
i would love to try this box 🙂
My boys would love this too (who am I kidding? So would I!)
Just a fyi – the Hawaiian Luau chips are maybe my fave ever – they are sweet and spicy – the spice seems to vary batch to batch – they can be really, really spicy.
I like the Rip Rolls
The kudos Dove bar or the Sour Punch things!
The Starburst gummies
I really want to try those mango lollipops! lol!
I want to try the sour smog balls. I love me some sour candy!
Wow! Most of these snacks are like a blast from the past! I would love to try the Fruit by the Foot again! 🙂
What a random box of snacks!
Looks yummy!!
Oops! I’d like the trail mix. Love sweet and salty!
I want to try the Pecas Mango Lollipops, just because I’ve never had anything like them before.
I would love to try this! It launches the day after my birthday so I might just have to sign up! I would like to try the starburst gummies. Were they similar to Gushers?
Wow that looks amazing! I really don’t think I can pick one snack. Maybe those Skittles? I think I’d get super thrown off when the color is a different flavor!
I want to try Meiji
Love me some Oreos!
Either the luau bbq chips or the chili mango lollipops — just because Ive heard of so many people that say the combination is AMAZING {and really … I love all things spicy!}
I love fruit by the foot!!
What a FUN box!
I love the sour punch straws, for sure. The lollies covered in chili powder are very intriguing though!
this looks interesting!!
The Kudos bar! I remember those were a big treat when I was a kid!
I would like the Kudos Dove bar.
I love sour straws and the pop candy looks like it would be fun to try. The WHOLE box looks good!!
I think the rip roll looks delicious!
Most of the snacks look good, but I’d most like to try the Starburst gummies!
The chile covered suckers..sounds terrible but worth a try.
This looks so awesome! I really wanna try the taffy. I can never find any around where I live.
Mmm im a sucker for candy, I love sour punch licorice
I love the sourpunch straws!!
I would love to try the smog balls and the bbq chips (they are my favorite)! I am completely with you on the rice crispy treats as well; nothing beats the manufactured kind. I find that they tend to be softer to chew and taste better, and also a lot less gooey and messy when all is over and done with.

Starburst gummibursts
I would love the sour punch straws! love those! I think this is a neat idea for a box but is as kind of disappointed to see that it seems like almost all of the snacks are from the US and are very popularly items that most people would have had or at least seen before. I was expecting more “worldly” snacks since that is what the description of the company is and I feel like if it was more worldly it would help to set it apart from the other snack boxes….
Hopefully as they grow it will be!
Stop, this is AMAZING. I was scrolling through and literally went back up see what box this was!
I’d love to try those Sabritones. I have a chile/lime problem. I love all spicy red flaming chips.
Roger would be all. over. this box. I’d be interested to try all the different stuff like the chili lollipops and Japanese candy. He’d gobble everything else. I’m definitely going to have to check this one out.
Cheers,
Shauna
THe Riddle Skittles sound fun!

Since Goodies kids box is gone i’m looking for a new kid snack box… this looks good
The rip n roll! Reminds me of my childhood 🙂

oh yeah! I love me some snacky stuff…
Those mango lolipops look interesting. I would want to try those!
The BBQ chips sound good
I would want to try the pickle!
I would love to try the Sesame Snaps.
I don’t know why I’m so excited about this box!! I’ve been following MunchPak for a few months and cannot wait for them to launch! Maybe because Goodies Co. closed before i ever received an invite and my Love with Food subscription was a bust (Im a picky eater). But i have also subscribed to the Mouth NY snack subscription & am very excited to get my first box! I love getting “treat” boxes in the mail for myself, might as well be able to eat some of them too. Lol!
My son would love this — what could be better for a 15 year old boy!
I would love to try the ~Hawaiian Luau BBQ Chips, however, I think my son would just love all of those items as an after school special snack when homework is complete. It would be so exciting for him to have such a variety to pick from and it would last for quite some time. Thanks for offering the give away. 🙂
I would love any of the snacks.. yum!
This looks like a replacement for Goodies! I love Oreos.
I love Starburst gummies!
I would love to try the Starburst Gummibursts! I’m not the biggest fan of Starbursts but those look really yummy.
I love the smog balls I found them once in a little candy shop. They are good :). This looks like a good subscription box to try.
OREOs for the win!!!
I would love most of these snacks…but a warning: I’ve had those luau bbq chips and they’re spicy HOT!! Just wanted to warn you before you send them in L’s lunch.
I would most wanna try they Meiji! Love me some old school pokemon! lol
I want everything, that is all.
Skittles changed their green to apple and I’m unhappy about it 🙁 I don’t know why lime is no longer ok.
Literally everything looks good. I’ve considered boxes like this but I’m terrified because I’m a picky eater.
WOW. EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD! haha
I want it all!! 🙂
The Kudos bar covered with Dove chocolate looks good, but I definitely had a hard time picking only one!
Those rip rolls look awesome. I love sour candy!
Kudos Dove Bar?! Oh I need one of those
I am getting this box. It will be used as treats for the kids once the halloween candy goes. I give them one piece a day so I dont have sugar hypers all day. I am getting my first food box this week love with food its from the one that closed and love with food took over.
I am the same way. I feel like we’ll have Halloween candy for the rest of our lives.
Oh Boy,
How could I choose, probably the laffy taffy since its my favorite candy!
I am a taffy junky, I would love to try those!
Wow this would be cool to look forward to every month. I would want the Oreos I love chocolate.

This looks like an awesome box!!! I love your blog! So happy I found it. 😀
Thank you!
I’d like the Taffy and the Kudos Dove bar, but my son who’s 11 would LOVE this box! He’d be in snack heaven 🙂
