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!

I started my Universal Yums…

I started my Universal Yums subscription about 6 months ago. I got it for my grandkids and the whole family looks forward to opening the box together every month. It’s a great bonding experience for all of us and we learn new and interesting facts about other countries.

I've loved getting my box every month

I've loved getting my box every month. Trying new things with friends and seeing their reactions to different things. After we all take our favorites and have talked about buying more of them from the yum shop! I have some new favorite snacks.

Unique Gift Idea

I ordered the 12 month subscription for my Dad. He is 76 years old. He has everything so I was looking for something unique that he would enjoy. He loves receiving the snack boxes each month. He enjoys reading the inserts and learning about the various countries. I have tried some of the snacks. They are always fresh.

The gift that keeps on giving…

I originally gave this as an extra gift to my son and DIL. It came as a big surprise and they have enjoyed the various assortment of treats. Some more than others! Always fun for me to hear about each country and what they enjoyed ( or didn't!) That's part of adventure, you never know what's next! Well done Universal Yums, the packaging is great and the selections unique each month.

Exciting & quality contents in each monthly box

Getting a subscription was the Best thing to add excitement each month for my family. My son has an eating disorder & food phobias so getting to watch him enjoy treats he wouldn't normally eat & enjoy new flavors is a huge step. Each month we are super excited to open our new country & share what's inside. You're also able to shop for your favorite snacks & try new one's from the shop which I've taken advantage of a few time's. Great family bonding over your monthly subscription with great information about each country. The company has great customer service as well as quality products.

Fun!

This has been so much fun for my family over the past 6 months! We rate each snack and drink and save pictures of our favorites that we can order later. I travel frequently and it has been fun to rediscover my favorite snacks that I previously found in a Yums box. Highly recommend!

A fun and tasty experience

A fun and tasty experience. I enjoy the interesting little info/activity book that comes with each box. The snacks can be hit or miss though, which is expected. I've gotten candy before that you can't chew without feeling like your teeth will pop out.

Fun and interesting

We really enjoy doing this monthly Yums box. The only reason I knocked the score down by one is because we are a family of 3 and sometimes the items are tricky to share- a small cookie or a hard candy for example. The box is perfect for a party of 2 but we make it work for us. Very fun and interesting facts each time. I recommend.

Fun experience

We just received our fourth county. It is exciting to see what country is next. My husband and I enjoy trying everything together. There has been some really really good countries and then there was so far one really bad country, I am glad I do not live there. I love the experience.

My family and I look forward to the Universal Yuma box every month. We make it a family activity and go through the booklet and each give a rating on the item we are trying. We try to guess where it’s coming from next. It’s been a great experience for us.

I am really enjoying foods I would never experience otherwise. Sometimes not so good tasting, others fantastic. I also like the booklet that comes with all the information. My family is going on this journey as well, it's been fun.

We Love Universal Yums!

We Love Universal Yums!! I work in an Assisted Living Community as the Memory Care Director, and purchased this subscription so that I could take my Residents on Virtual Vacations, and have yummy snacks from that country to go with it! They absolutely LOVE the snacks. We love scoring the snacks and Learning about each one. My Residents are super into trivia, so the Trivia is a great addition to our activity!

The only reason I am giving a 4 is because sometimes the snacks are not super shareable, so I do skip some of them as I am not able split them enough for the residents. I know that Universal Yums is more for a small family, but maybe having an option for bigger groups would be fun! I also wish I was able to Pick the Country box every month! There are some Countries that I feel would go over better with my oldies than others.

My oldies and I seriously look forward to this every month! Thank you for making such an awesome product!
