So fun!

What a lovely, fun surprise we get every month. My husband and I love opening the boxes to see what yummy treats we’re gonna get. And so far- so many delicious, interesting and surprising treats.

We have enjoyed our yum boxes every month! My 16 year old son and I make it time together...which is great because I don't get much time with him anymore at this age! The yum boxes are phenomenal and I have told my whole family about them!

Each box is an experience for us and our granddaughter.

My granddaughter comes to stay with us once a month. She immediately looks for her box from Universal Yuma and tells PaPaw to get the globe so he can show her how far the country is from Texas.
She loves trying all the snacks and rates them with a smiley or frown face.
It’s very interesting tasting the snacks. Most we like but some have been too spicy.
We can’t wait for the next one!

Absolutely love our Yums box each month!

My husband and I absolutely love getting our monthly Universal Yums box. We love learning about new foods from different cultures and trying those foods out. We decided every Friday is our weekly Yums treat day and look forward to Friday's unique treat every week! The monthly box always arrives on time if not early and is filled with delicious treats and snacks with helpful and informative information about each of the treats. There have only been a couple of treats in all the boxes we have tried that we didn't particularly care for, but that's to be expected when trying so many different foods! We hope to continue getting our Universal Yums boxes for many years to come!

We love the variety in these boxes

We love the variety in these boxes but some of the last few have been misses with only spicy/savory items. Africa box didn't have anything in it we took more than a taste of. We will continue and hopefully they stay unique.

We love our universal yums boxes

We love our universal yums boxes. My husband and I look forward to them every month. We have three small kids and don’t get to go out very often so we have a little couch date night every month - we enjoy a beer some snacks! There have been some.. interesting tasting snacks from time to time but for the most part everything is very tasty and different from our usual American fare. As for our not so favorite items, still fun to try - that’s the whole point, try new things and have fun with it. I really like reading about the origins of the snacks and the regions they’re from. The boxes are well packaged and arrive in good shape. We had one instance in the last six months where items were missing and customer service didn’t just replace the items, they sent a whole new box. Really happy with our subscription and the service 🙂

We love our yum boxes!

My family and I get so excited every month when our universal yums arrive! We get to try new and interesting treats while learning about different parts of the world. The added extras (the little booklets/stickers etc) make it such a fun learning experience for the kids.

We love love love Universal Yum Box

We love love love Universal Yum Box. My family really enjoys sharing food together so I bought this box for my husband as one of his Christmas presents. I was surprised at how delicious the snacks were for the price and what a fun experience it was for myself, husband and daughter. We decided to get the monthly subscription and have not been disappointed. It gives us an opportunity to spend find together ( aside from sharing the snacks together you also get to rate them and learn about the country). We’ve now started buying yum boxes for teacher gifts. Highly recommend!!!

I was looking for healthy options for my grandson, since all the American snacks are contaminated with gmo’s, nano-particles and chemicals. I know other countries do not allow harmful chemicals into their country so I am hoping these are better for him. I truly hope they are choosing the cleanest ones from the other countries. My grandson seems to like them, even though he has ask me to cancel them many times bc of price but if they are healthier than American snacks, I don’t mind to pay a lil more.

I like when the box includes little bags of individually wrapped candies. Most boxes have not.

The box from India was gross. Nothing in there was good.

It's enjoyable to try snacks from different parts of the world. It's something to look forward to.

You mean Eurocentric Yums?

It’s ok overall, but it started getting really repetitive after a year. They hyperfocus on European snacks, which they do as individual countries. The one time the my did anything remotely related to Africa they lumped all African countries within an “Africa” box. They did the same with South America. I hope they truly make this box universal. I’ll come back if they do.

Love this company

Love this company and what they offer! The different countries and their culture of snacks. I use the information on each country to read to my grandkids and they look forward to the box! Only suggestion I would have would be to ask if the subscribers like “hot” spicy snacks. I could not eat the last box from India due to the snacks that were sent my grandkids couldn’t either. So maybe if you ask that question, you could skip that country. I feel that was a waste of my money and your time to send that one out. But the information was nice. Thank you!

Absolutely love the yum box

Absolutely love the yum box! A different country every month! It's like traveling around the world on a budget. I highly recommend! And there are different options for different budgets. Even the lowest cost box is amazing every month.

I’m a monthly subscriber of the biggest Universal Yums box offered and love it! My kids look for the box every month and we make a big production out of trying and rating every item included. Super fun and interesting- and awesome family time!

Universal Yums is a great way to spend family time!


Universal Yums has become an outstanding family tradition for us. Each box we receive is more than just a collection of international snacks; it's an invitation to gather and explore new cultures together. The excitement starts when we open the box and discover the assortment of treats from a different country. We take turns sampling each snack, sharing our thoughts, and rating them, which sparks engaging conversations about the flavors and textures we encounter.

This shared experience not only brings us closer but also broadens our culinary horizons in a fun and interactive way. Universal Yums has turned snack time into a family event, making our get-togethers more memorable and enriching. It’s a delightful way to bond while traveling the world from the comfort of our home.
