i got a ramen box sub as a gift, and it was pretty good. None of these things are cheap though, or really a good value. They are made for hipster weebs with disposable income, or children spending someone else's money. a triep to your local Asian market will be cheaper, and net you much if not all the same things much cheaper.

Green tea pocky follow closely by mochi. The soda are shitty over carbonated water, guess they really like their drink fizzy. Hichew is just like a starburst but sweeter and softer.

anyway tho the problem with nerdboxes is that you can't JUST sell nerdboxes unless you already have a retail platform to push them on and fill them with leftovers from
it's not $5 in your pocket when you sell $5 worth of candy for $10, it's -$5 in your pocket when the local asian market decides if you want the expired stuff that badly you can pay full price + you have to go full jlist with 4chan ads because no one's ever heard of you.

for perspective, blueapron spends $400+ per signup on marketing. and they're selling something people may actually want rather than... shit, i was going to make fun of white people afraid of the fish smell of the local asian market, but literally everything but the daifuku you can buy at my local walmart.

I haven’t purchased one of those but I’ve individually tried some of the things in it. Hi-chews are great, lots of people love Pocky but I don’t care for it. Red bean mochi are too sweet for me but they taste good and I love the chewy texture of the rice. Hello Panda is, I think, similar to Pocky but I haven’t tried that (same with Yan Yan), and the Botan Rice Candy was one of my favorites as a child. Very mild flavor but nicely chewy and “you can eat the paper!”
