A Closer Look at October 2020 MunchPak Subscription Boxes

Our October subscription boxes feature an exciting assortment of treats from Canada, South Korea, Turkey, and many more countries. We packed a variety of flavors ranging from sweet to savory and even included sour straws in every box this month.

Our largest box, the Family size, includes 20 different snacks for you and your whole household to enjoy. Our five-piece Mini box is still a treat, especially if you just need enough snacks for yourself.

We take pride in the diversity and quality of the products we include every month and October’s box is no exception. Check out the details of what we packed into each box below.

MunchPak Mini 

For this month’s MunchPak Mini, we included two different kinds of cookies: Burtons Jammie Dodgers from the United Kingdom and Ulker Biskrem Cookies from Turkey. The traditional jammie dodgers include strawberry jam in the middle, but the Ulker Biskrem cookies have rich chocolate and hazelnut flavors.

Old Dutch All Dressed Chips from Canada are a unique savory treat. They pack in tomato and garlic flavors in addition to the usual salt and vinegar notes associated with all dressed potato chips.

The most unique items in our Mini Box this month are the Sour Power Straws from the Netherlands and the Pororo Churros from South Korea. The Sour Power Straws are passion fruit-flavored and coated in crunchy sour sugar crystals, making them sure to be a hit with kids and adults alike. The chocolate-flavored churros are baked, not fried, to counter the decadent sweet filling. 

Original MunchPak

Our original size MunchPak includes the five products from the Mini Box plus five additional items. The sweet snacks and candies this month are Tango Chewbies from the United Kingdom, Sweet+ Stracciatella Wafers from Bulgaria, Vidal Spooky Spiders from Spain, and Cow Tails from the United States.

Tango Chewbies are based on the famous Tango soft drink. We’ve included the Blue Raspberry flavored chewy candy because we love their hint of sour flavors. The Stracciatella Wafers have a delicious blend of milk cream and chocolate chips for a thin, light snack that’s perfect for after dinner.

We included two Cow Tails flavors, Strawberry Smoothie and Caramel Brownie, so you can enjoy a new twist on these classic treats. The Vidal Spooky Spiders have multiple flavors packed into each bag and their scary shapes are sure to be a hit with your Halloween party guests.

Levi Roots Reggae Reggae Groove Cut Crisps from the United Kingdom are delicious chips that have a lot of onion and garlic flavor in each bit, as well as hints of nutmeg for a complex savory snack. They’re truly a unique potato chip that will have you craving more.

FamilyPak

The largest subscription box we offer has a whopping 20 snacks each month. This size includes all the products included in the Munchpak Mini and Original MunchPak boxes plus 10 additional snacks. This box contains a vast range of flavor profiles, so we highly recommend this size if you’re a serious foodie or have a family with diverse tastes.

Two of our favorite savory snacks from this month are the FF Tomato Crackers from Thailand and the Snackcity Chillz Chatpata Potato Sticks from Pakistan. The Tomato Crackers have sweet undertones, but the Potato Sticks are heavier on spicy and tangy flavors. Both of these are perfect for satisfying late-afternoon salty snack cravings.

If you love bacon, you’ll adore the Smiths Bacon Fries snack from the United Kingdom. They’re grain-based and have a crunch a lot like crackers, but with delicious bacon flavor. They’re popular in pubs all over the U.K., and once you try a bag, you’ll know why!

The sour treats this month are Bazooka Juicy Drops Blasts from the United States and Oppenheimer Atomic Chew Extra Sour Candy. The Bazooka candies offer a mild tang, but be careful with the Atomic Chews! The Atomic Chews get sourer and sourer until you finally hit the sweet center.

We’ve also included sumptuous sweet treats like the Kolson Oven Fresh Cupcake from Pakistan and the Maestro Massimo Plum Cake with Chocolate Cream from Italy. The Kolson cupcake is perfect for strawberry lovers, while the Plum Cake is a sophisticated blend of fruit and chocolate flavors. These are great for including as desserts in kids’ lunches since they’re sweet enough to make kids happy but won’t overwhelm them with sugar.

Our featured cookies this month are the Slai O Lai Pineapple Sandwich Cookies from Malaysia. These tropical treats bring in loads of pineapple flavor sandwiched between two vanilla cookies. They’re perfect for dunking in coffee to brighten up your day in the colder fall months.

Finally, we’ve included two unique candy chews this month: Swizzles Puds Chew Bars from the United Kingdom and Zazers Gelt Green Apple Flavor from Pakistan. The chew bars incorporate traditional U.K. dessert flavors including Lemon Meringue and Apple Pie & Custard. The Zazars Gelt are shaped like traditional chocolate gelt for Hanukkah, but with taffy inside instead.

Soda Upgrade

We give each subscriber the option to add on a bottle of soda each month. The soda varies dramatically each month, but each one has been a hit with our subscribers. We look for unique sodas that simply aren’t replicated anywhere else in the world.

This month’s soda is Pepsi Japan Cola Lychee & Salt from Japan. Japan loves combining salt and lychee fruit flavors for a mouth-watering taste that’s perfect for cooling off after a long, hard day. This soda has the familiar Pepsi flavor you know and love, but with the tangy addition of lychee and Japanese yuzu plus subtle savory undertones.
