I last had a Ritter Sport 30 years ago at the place I used to work. That one was enough. Glad you can enjoy them though

Cocoa Coco!!!!
> Reveal 🔎
Looks Like : Chocolate HobNobs.. Unsurprisingly
Tastes Like : I'm not getting the coconut. They're nice, but... I dunno.
Also, got a bit sickly after about 5 biscuits.
..
I was looking forward to these

I Like Hob Nobs. One of my fave biscuits TBH. These sound nice, but not at that price! I'll wait and see if they come on offer.

Oh joy..
> Reveal 🔎
Oh god, it's like those bloody calendar teas.
Why are they ALWAYS Cinnamon and Ginger and Cardamon?
"A unique blend" no it fucking isn't!!!
> Reveal 🔎
Here's something new.
Call me crazy, but I never once considered adding Milk to one of these herbal teas.
I mean, you don't add milk to a fruit tea.. Why would you add it to a herbal one?
Huh..
Maybe I should try it with milk?
> Reveal 🔎
Looks Like : Mrs Mangle disapproves.
Tastes Like : I'm throwing this out.

Sept - Leftovers
> Reveal 🔎
Lazy Garlic. We use so little garlic that the previous jar of Lazy Garlic I got was still sat in the fridge unopened.
That's in the bin now. It was several months out of date.
I should probably find someone to give this one, too, before it ends up in the same place.
> Reveal 🔎
We don't really "do" salad dressings in this house, so the couple of times we could've used it over the past month, I've forgotten it was in the fridge.
We're very bland eaters!!
> Reveal 🔎
This isn't jelly. This is more like mildly gelatinous cordial. They're not nice. I don't like these. Bin, or neighbour's kid? Who knows.

October's Here!
Cheat Sheet
.. and we're already scratching off a couple of items from this month's box.
Repeat One
> Reveal 🔎
and
Repeat Two
> Reveal 🔎
That's a shame, though I expect the whole "The country's going to pot" thing might have something to do with that.
Also, there's only 10 different items in this month's box. There were 12 a few months ago, then 11 last month.
Oh dear...
October One
Let's start with an up!!
> Reveal 🔎
Salted god damned sunovabitch Caramel..
Looks Like : A suitably suitable mug.
Tastes Like : Too salty. My mouth's dry. I'm not enjoying this. This is not an up..
God damnit...

October Two
Tingly
> Reveal 🔎
Looks Like : Light pop.
Tastes Like : Sparkling, but not that nasty "Sparkling water" taste.
Unfortunately, not much Rhubarb taste, either.
I was really looking forward to this, but .. No, it's kinda bland and tasteless, really.
There's a weird tang at the back of my throat, now.
Not been a good box, so far!

October - Three
> Reveal 🔎
Looks Like : Very Seedy
I was expecting more clumsiness, but .. Guess not..
Tastes Like : Actually, it was alright. I've had worse.
Could've done with some raisins, though.

October Two Bee

> Reveal 🔎
Mmmmm..
Looks Like : Mmmmmmm!
Tastes Like : Aww, god damnit...
I was really looking forward to this, but the "Sparkling Water" tinge is present, and the "Lovely Cherry" is muted to an almost indistinguishable aftertaste.
Really disappointed..

Having a break
> Reveal 🔎
Looks Like : We all know what a Kit Kat Chunky looks like, right?!
Tastes Like : .. These have existed before, right?! I'm fairly sure I've eaten these at work. ... I think...
..I can't remember.. My memory sucks!!!
Nothing to see here. Just a Kit Kat Chunky Caramel.
...also.. Nestle Migraine...

Nick's Nuts
> Reveal 🔎
Looks Like : A regular chocolate bar.
About a Finger's worth of Fudge.
Tastes Like : Alright, I guess. That cheaper tasting chocolate, and the filling was a bit like a caramel-less Marathon bar.
It was alright..
Migraine!

Not a fudge lover; it's far too sweet and sickly for me, so I'd give this a pass.

October - Leftovers
Is that it?
Five post-worthy items in a box?
Geese..
Leftovers for the month are..
> Reveal 🔎
Soup. No complaints here, we do like these, and they usually go down well at Xmas.. But we have that soup-maker now, so, not sure if these will get used.. Hmmm...
> Reveal 🔎
Nuts.. I got the BBQ flavoured "nuts". Looks a lot like Bombay Mix. I can't bring myself to eat a bag of BBQ flavoured things when my head is screaming "Why are these not spicy Bombay Mix flavoured?"
I will do.. Eventually.. Maybe.
> Reveal 🔎
Beer.. I'm not a fan of beer, but.. Come on, Jay, at least try it!!
The next box has just been delivered, and is in front of me looking decidedly smaller than the usual boxes, to the point where even Mum said "That's a bit small..."
This isn't a good sign.

November
Cheat Sheet
The smaller box wasn't too bad, actually, and had 11 items in it.
One of the items had a short* date on it, though, so I had to eat it instantly.
November - 01
> Reveal 🔎
Note : In the Degusta-leaflet's picture.. The bag of donuts is empty. Some greedy bastard at Degustabox ate all the doughnuts!
Looks Like : Mug for size.
Tastes Like : I feel a migraine coming on!!
But they are nice. I'd say more Jaffa Cake than Doughnut, but slightly less tough than a Jaffa Cake.
Nice though.
Nom nom nom!
*The short date was in 2 weeks time. But that's my excuse for wolfing down the whole lot of them!

Soft drink (330ml) sized can of beer.

Tastes Like : Beer
If I were a beer aficionado, I might be able to tell you more.
I'm not.
It's beer.
Nothing to see here.

This isn't green...
> Reveal 🔎
Looks Like : Looking good! Let's go, Cherry!!
Tastes Like : D'oh.
Sour Cherry <> Cherry 7-up.
I miss Cherry 7-up.
Do they still make that?
I want that..
It was mostly flavourless, and I didn't enjoy it.

I presume it's a still drink, as that doesn't look very fizzy. Why is it in a can, not a bottle?
