Review: MunchPak.com Snack Box

Today's review is an interesting one for me.  It's a review of not necessarily the individual products (there will be some quick looks though) in this review, but more of a review of a service.  In this case, that service is MunchPak.com.  A representative of theirs reached out to me a couple weeks ago and asked if I'd be interested in trying their service and since I'm always on the lookout for freebies (ahem...if anyone out there has any that they'd like to send me, I'm game), I more than willingly said I'd give the service a look.  So, after a bit of time the United States Postal Service delivered me the box of goodies that you see above.  There were a variety of products in there, including chips, candy, gum, etc.  Basically, all sorts of different kind of munchies (get my clever word usage there?).  What was also interesting, and the MunchPak website advertises this with their slogan of "New & Popular Snacks From Around The World", a lot of these snacks were from various countries.  When I looked through the box, there were some snacks from Mexico, Japan, Korea, Turkey, Indonesia, etc.  It was kind of funny to me, in a way.

MunchPaks can come via a monthly delivery subscription service and also come in various sizes, meaning the quantity of snacks in your box.  As you can somewhat see based on the picture above, I got the "Original" version which includes 10-20 snacks.  I'm not going to review everything, but let's take a look at some of the products in the box below the fold.

Review: JELL-O Pumpkin Spice Cheescake Snacks

I've said it before in reviews, but I'll say it again:  I absolutely LOVE pudding and little snack packs of the like.  I've reviewed many pudding-type products on the blog throughout the three years of its existence and I've spent a lot of those reviews looking at the seemingly never ending (thankfully) line of JELL-O products.  So, it was with great delight that I noticed in a recent trip to Kroger that JELL-O has rolled out a limited edition version of a seasonal treat that happens to be one of my favorite seasonal flavors with this four pack of JELL-O Pumpkin Spice Cheescake Snacks.  This one cost me $2.00 and each cup within the pack is 4.25 ounces and has 130 calories.  Just to be specific, these are technically pudding snacks as you can see above since the package is clearly labeled "Cheesecake Snacks."  It doesn't really matter to me because I was very anxious to dive in.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Moments Dreamy Coconut Indulgent Snack Bites

I touched on these new Indulgent Snack Bites in a prior review and since I do everything in pairs, I figured today was as good of a day as any to knock out another Kellogg's Special K review by taking a look at this box of eight Kellogg's Special K Moments Dreamy Coconut Indulgent Snack Bites that I was able to pick up in the same sale as the previous box at Meijer for $2.50.  Each bite is 0.56 ounces and comes in a very belt friendly 70 calories per bite.  I won't even bother to touch on the protein total, because honestly, it's not really worth it with a product like this.

Review: Kellogg's Special K Moments Caramel Pretzel Bliss Indulgent Snack Bites

I've mentioned it many times before, but I'll mention it again...I love the mega conglomerate food producing machine.  Often, they just release different flavors of their same products.  Occasionally, they'll release an entirely new product line and that's what Kellogg's did today as I tack up a new product category to their review catalog with this review of the new Kellogg's Special K Moments Caramel Pretzel Bliss Indulgent Snack Bites that I was able to pick up on sale for $2.50 at Meijer.  Each box contains eight 0.56 ounces bites and each bite is an affordable 70 calories.
