rockford	Mmmmmmmmmmm....

Jayenkai	December - Four Flap... > Reveal 🔎 Looks Like : Flapjacks.. Small, though. Roughly Milky Way sized, assuming Milky Ways are still the size I remember them being, which they probably aren't. Tastes Like : Quite dry. Nicely gingery though. Really nice. Yeah! Nom nom! Would have those again. "At that price, though?" .. Maybe...! They are nice. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	That's a lot of moolah for not a lot of sweetstuff.
Wed, 21 Dec 2022, 15:53
Jayenkai	I think it's roughly the same price as Mr Kiplings currently are, aren't they? checks £1.75 for a pack of Kipling Angel Cake slices. .. though there's also 6 of those in the pack. .. Meh. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Jayenkai	December - Five More nobbly biscuit bits. > Reveal 🔎 Looks Like : Teensy tiny KitKat blocks. Tastes Like : Alright. It's no KitKat. I'm not sure why it's branded as KitKat. There's no wafer here. shrugs They're nice, though. Migraine after 5 of them. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Those "Bites" of existing chocolate bars are always a let down. They never feel or taste like the original they're based on. Guaranteed to disappoint.

Jayenkai	December - Leftovers Meh.. 1. > Reveal 🔎 Seriously?! More of these!? I have about 30 or so of these pods sat in the kitchen cupboard and they just aren't getting used up. Also, I haven't bought more than 2 boxes of these (8 of the pods), so all the rest have been from Degusta.. Thafuq!?! 2. > Reveal 🔎 A bottle of alcohol free Merlot. Not a fan of Red Wine as is. Take out the only appealing feature, and you're left with a bottle of Vimto. .. And I'm allergic to Vimto. 3. > Reveal 🔎 The box contained lots of little sachets of Chilli sauces, much like those that Rockford was opening in the calendar, so I opted not to tread on his Chilli Adventure. I've since tried a few in Pot Noodles and Pastas, and.. Yeah.. Ditto, really. Bleurgh.. January Cheat Sheet And so another month arrives. It actually arrived on Friday, and I couldn't be fucking arsed, which I think tells you everything about my faith in these boxes. > Reveal 🔎 We just gave away 80% of a tub of these to a neighbour, as they'd been sitting uneaten in the house, since Halloween The box arrived. I unpacked the contents, taking pics of all the varied amusing and unusual items. > Reveal 🔎 God damnit, another fucking mayonnaise!?! I NEVER buy Mayonnaise, and our cupboards are overflowing with the stuff. (I prefer Salad Cream) The box was lovingly wrapped as always, and the photo session was fun and exciting.. Woot. > Reveal 🔎 I can't even... I haven't opened the one from about 3 boxes ago, yet.. Festive Festivities of Festiveness. Ho, Ho, Ho! > Reveal 🔎 I mean, FFS, come on... On Friday, I cancelled my Degustabox subscription. I'll likely get the Advent Calendar next year, and otherwise take a long long break from the boxes. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Yay. More "foodstuffs". That Vegan mayo is actually pretty good. I got a couple of freebie sachets from Hellmans. I've had the chocolate Dorset muesli/cereal. It was OK, but expensive. Mooooooooore Knorrr. Poor. Are there any other subs boxes like the Disgusting Box?
Mon, 16 Jan 2023, 16:53
Jayenkai	I don't think there are, no.. Everything I've found, food wise, is either Noodle Boxes, or Recipe Boxes, and the recipe boxes have 2 main issues.. 1. You have to choose, so the randomness is right out the window. 2. I've heard horror tales of the fresh food being stuck in DHL mis-delivery hell, and turning up with oodles of rotten meat and such. .. So, yeah, I've been specifically avoiding Hello Fresh! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

rockford	Indeed. Nasty! But yeah, they're not what I meant. Proper subscription boxes really are disappearing fast, and tbf, they did it to themselves by reducing the number and quality of the products or repeating products repeatedly. Both lose subscribers and reduces what suppliers can offer, which leads to ever diminishing returns for everyone. Ever decreasing circles. Shame.

Jayenkai	Bring back Arcade Block!!! .. That company died on its arse, though. A shame, because out of all the boxes I've had, that was definitely the bestest! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 17 Jan 2023, 04:19
Jayenkai	Been trawling Subscription Boxes.co.uk again.. Gawd, the number of listed boxes that are now "Closed" is staggering. There's nothing left, except for bloody funko pops!!! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 17 Jan 2023, 04:27
rockford	Yeah. I used to watch a few unboxings on YouTube. There are none now.

Jayenkai	January - One Please, Sir. I don't want any more. > Reveal 🔎 Gruel.. > Reveal 🔎 Tastes Like : The Jumbo Oats didn't cook, but the regular oats did, so it was like a horrible lumpy slime with gritty bits in it. Eeeuw, god, no. Flavour-wise, tasted of that sickly sweet fake-sugar taste you get on things. Bleurh.. Definitely not what you want when you wake up with a growling tummy at 5 in the morning. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Kuron	Looks like a cup of dried maggots.
Mon, 23 Jan 2023, 23:10
Jayenkai	I haven't ever eaten a cup of dried maggots. ... But I think I now know what one might taste like. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 24 Jan 2023, 10:11
rockford	Doesn't look or sound very appealing.
Tue, 24 Jan 2023, 14:54
Kuron	Looks worse than the pics of that breakfast I tried that looked like congealed vomit.
