One snack box is just like any other, right? Wrong! Universal Yums is a whole lot more than a subscription box. It is a cultural experience delivered to your door every month. See for yourself what makes us different.

What makes Universal Yums different
Both boxes visit a new country every month. Here is what comes along for the trip with us.
-
Snacks from local makers
Our product discovery team hand-picks every snack from makers in that month's country. Most of them you cannot find in the U.S.

The story behind every snack
A 16- to 20-page booklet comes in every box: where each snack comes from, trivia, games, recipes, and the full ingredient list.
-
You choose where you go first
Pick the country your first box visits, and pre-select the countries you want next when you sign up.
-
Free U.S. shipping, every size
Shipping is free on every box size, and over 13 million boxes have made the trip so far.

Every snack box is a good time. The right one depends on what you want from the trip.

“SnackCrate … mostly includes treats from internationally recognizable brands such as Lay’s, Kit Kat and Oreo—albeit in regional flavors. The offerings of Universal Yums, on the other hand, come from smaller companies with an alluring air of obscurity and a local feel.”

Other snack boxes give you a bunch of snacks and, if you are lucky, a bit of info about them. Our booklet is packed with the history and culture behind every snack, plus trivia and games you can enjoy with friends and family.

I was so used to American snacks that I didn't think it would taste this good! The price is worth it, and I absolutely loved this Greek box!
These are amazing! I was able to share with my mother, who is from Colombia. This box was a piece of home!
He's difficult to buy for so I'm thrilled with this unique gift and how happy it has made him.
There were 9 of us tasting our first box. Our ages range from 2 to 60 and we all enjoyed the experience.
We are caregivers for his 83 yr old father… this made him so happy. We all had fun with our box.
The playlist made me feel like I was experiencing Türkiye as a tourist… with the booklet, game, and stickers I enjoyed myself past just eating foreign snacks. For the 5 snacks I only paid $19.
Smiles across the board for all three kids and both parents… I already know we'll extend our subscription because we all look forward to it!
So much fun trying new snacks and learning facts about the UK, can't wait until next month to see which country we get to explore next.
Loved the ingredients of everything — way better than what we have here in America. The experience alone is worth the 5 star rating.
I got this for my son. A very picky eater tried every single snack! We got this to encourage him to try new foods. Worked!
Our box was missing an item — they left a card explaining why and surprised us with 3 items from a different country, so nice!!
