Looks good to me, I could see it taking off in the US since there's a bit of a effort lately to reduce the use of single use plastics and these look like they just come in a cardboard box like the $5 boxes taco bell sells. I see food we eat in the US in your munchy boxes, we just have it packaged separately here. Also we have stuff like burrito bowls from fast casual Mexican places, that also seems like a similar concept.

Being your idea to the US, you could become rich

>why arent munchy boxes as popular in the US?
The US isn't 50% arabic like much of europe. This stuff is immigrant business food, combing fry shops with whatever else is popular in takeout, run by Paki types.

In the US, our immigrants are/were specifically a majority speaking hispanic, if not mexican, then they all tend to like each other's cuisine. Though mostly Nica, there is a type of cafeteria takeout store called a "fritanga" which is basically a fry shop, Spanish style that is, whether it be Nica, Dominican, cuban, or whatever else the owners hail from, they'll all have the staple fillers of nationally preferred incarnation of rice with beans, vinegar based slaw, and deep fried plantains, maduros sweet or chip-like verde, combined with little Bacalao fritters, tamales filled with whatever spiced meat, papas rellenos, fried queso, fried fish, simmered meat mains like beef stew, or quick fried steaks, all smothered in delicious hot sauce or some other house secret recipe condiment of choice. Fresh juices, fresh soups of the day, a couple mains of the day on weekly rotation so you know which will be your favorites on what night. Whatever is seasonal, like avocado will be also available, marinated with some onions and lime juice. Almost all caribbean food has some chinese item on the menu too, tons of immigrants from China in their history (most popular last name in Jamaica is Chin). Most takeout containers are packed to the brim and contain enough for 3-4 meals at a single person's price of like $6

its just an assortment of fried foods, sometimes pizza (deepfried or not)
probably the best way to present it to potential customers would be to provide a list of possible items available to go in the box,they can choose however many they want, scaling up in price the more items added to it
if you don't have a large brit/scot expat community in your locale, chicken tikka and paki shit like that won't sell. cater to regional/general american tastes but with some variety
