whitestavern Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 They look so fun, and I think my ds would get a kick out of them. Any they're slightly educational with the pamphlet they send, lol. www.universalyums.com I am looking at cheaper option. If anyone can provide a review, that would be great!

magic Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 We just received the December box last week. There are treats from 13 countries in this box. This was our first box and we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the treats. We have all been enjoying the box and will definitely keep up with the subscription.

magic Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The pamphlet is more like a booklet and contains the history of each treat as well as information about the country it is from. There is also a trivia page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Thank you, Magic! I think I will order. I guess you got the big (yum yum) box? I think the one I'm looking at only gives 6 snacks. Also, I thought they did one country per month. You're saying that there are many countries represented within each box?

magic Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 We do get the larger box. Normally they do one country a month but, for December, they had a traditional holiday treat from 13 different countries. The rest of the year they feature one country. This box contained clues for the next month's box and I am fairly sure that it will be Greece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 (edited) So far we have gotten Belgium, Turkey and this month is the everywhere box. My 18 year old said its the best gift ever. Even my 21 year old, non adventurous eater loves it. We get the large box. We also love the booklet that gives you a ton of background about what you are eating. If you look on YouTube people make unboxing videos. Edited December 17, 2017 by gingersmom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I ordered it! Kind of wish I had gone with the bigger box but oh well. Looking forward to the first shipment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domestic_engineer Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It's been a year .... any updates on the boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BakersDozen Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 We subscribed a few months ago and absolutely love it! We're on our 4th box and always look forward to sharing an evening of fun and learning with various friends we invite. It's expensive but worth every penny, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodGrief Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 My college junior is obsessed with hers! She cannot wait for it to arrive every month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 We gave it to our 15 yo ds for Christmas last year and he loved it! The selection of items was really neat. We'd have a little tasting party each month when it came in. i may do it again this year, but I will spring for the bigger box. It's kind of expensive, but I do think it is worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 We are still subscribing a year later and still loving the monthly boxes! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessMommy Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It looks like so much fun and this is the type of thing I'm wanting to give all my kids. Thanks for resurrecting this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
domestic_engineer Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Thanks for the feedback, all! It sounds like a real winner. Would you recommend the small, medium or large box? (I assume the small box would be too small for a family?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Not quite the same, but if you have a World Market around, you could create your own Universal Yums box(es), likely at a lower price point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
