hey guys welcome to planning with crystals i've got a brand new subscription box to share with
you today and it's a snack subscription so this is back snackers so think about the name a little bit
like backpackers so this is basically a discovery box and each month they will share with you snacks
from a different country so that's pretty exciting so this box has kind of been sent to me for my
honest review which is what you're going to get right now i also have a discount code which is
crystal 10 which will get you 10 off this box for the life of your subscription so not just
for your first box but for every box you get so it retails at 13.99 including free uk delivery
and we have got the very first box which is the discovery pack the discovery pack will include
six snacks from a distant land you'll also get the back snackers guidebook which has got some
activities facts music language tips and more and then the back snackers snack menu so we'll
know exactly what snacks we are snacking on so obviously i'm going to unbox it for you today
i'm going to try all the snacks i'm very excited i love snacks and one of these people i'm hungry
all the time i generally always have snacks and things in my bag and this is one that particularly
appeals to me because actually when i do go on holiday abroad which hasn't happened for
many years unfortunately due to obviously the corona various efforts going on in the world
but i love nothing more than discovering like chocolate and crisps and sweet treats and things
from new countries i haven't tried before because i just love snacking anyway it's just
exciting to have new ones that i've never had before so in the future they do also plan to bring
out bigger boxes so they're going to have like an adventure pack which has got like 12 snacks in it
and some additional surprises and things which they'll announce near at the time and they'll even
do an expedition pack which will be like 24 snacks two drinks and lots of other bits and bobs so
like i said getting ahead of myself a little bit this is the first box they've done so it
says back snackers there and there and it's made from compostable packaging you open up the box and
that's what it looks like in the side and it tells me here which country we'll be visiting
for our snacks this month and it is korea so the first box is going to be korea and i can
also tell you at the end which country they'll be visiting next month so there are some little
games and bits and pieces in here that you can play some korean themed games of course and then
there are some little korean idioms the crayfish sides with the crab like eating cold porridge
i don't have time to open my eyes and nose all of which explains what they all mean on the back
there is a recipe for cabbage kimchi which i've had in places like wagamama very nice it is too
and then it says what's next for back snackers congratulations you've got your hands on your very
first back snackers snack pack the adventure has only just begun and we have many exciting plans
for the future there'll be the option for you to add a drink to your pack the option to add
cooking ingredients for example this pack would contain red pepper powder for the kimchi and
they'll donate for charity tackling hunger issues in that month's country which is pretty cool and
it says stay tuned for updates and also you can follow them on instagram and stuff i'll put all
their info underneath and it tells us as well going next month which i'll tell you at the end
okay so i'm seeing snacks i'm hungry i'm excited there's a little card here and it tells me on
the back what all of the items are in here so there's also a really cute little postcard here
i really like this nice little touch so this is a sale metro map it's just a plain postcard on the
back but you could literally you could keep these you could scrap book with them you could put them
in like a little frame or something so i think that's a super cute little idea so six snacks
i'm gonna do it in the order that they are on the little leaflet so our first snack here is the nong
shim shrimp flavoured crackers these are a bit like prawn cocktail but with a more authentic
flavor and a hint of spice these crackers are a perfect morage snack to get your taste buds going
i love prawn cocktails these are probably right up my streets it's a 75 gram bag it's as hot
and spicy they're nice and like prawn stinky when you open them this is what it looks like
they actually do taste like prawns oh i'm getting that hint of spice
now i wasn't getting it first and then all of a sudden at the back of
my throat i'm just getting that hint of spice that's quite nice actually
next up we've got some non-shim honey and apple twisted snacks crunchy spiral crisps
with a delicious honey and apple coating one of korea's favorite flavor combinations once
you start you won't be able to stop kind of feel like that about the packet i've just opened if i'm
honest after i finish the video i guarantee i'll be going back and finishing those off
so this is what they look like very different to anything else really
when you kind of get close to them you can kind of smell this like a little bit of sweetness
it's really kind of confusing to my brain cause i'm used to having crisps that are
savory and these are like sweet but i can actually see how they would be quite addictive they kind of
have like a hint of an apple pie taste with that little bit of honey they're also quite
nice there's nothing i can describe other than that they're just a nice kind of sweet taste
so far so good i'm enjoying my snacks so next up we have got something called peppero and
these are the latte white cookie crunchy biscuit snacks one of korea's most famous snacks there is
even a pepero day once a year where koreans give these to friends and family as gifts we've thrown
in two flavors for you to try so we've got this flavor and then another flavor so we'll start with
this one this is a white cookie one this is what they look like in the packet they're a bit like
look a little bit like pocky sticks if you've had those oh so this is what it looks like
they're really nice look just like white chocolate with that little hint of whatever it is that's on
this stick they'd actually really nice dips in like a cup of tea or coffee you know cookies and
cream that is what the taste is i couldn't think of it for a second so they're little cookie pieces
next up again from the same range but these ones are the crunky chocolate and biscuit
it does say that they're korea's number one brand so these look interesting so these are a crunchy
biscuit stick coated with chocolate flavor cream again in like a little foil bag like this and
they've got that kind of like knobbly texture oh they've got like little almond pieces or something
these remind me very much of popcorn i wonder if those look
like little pieces of popcorn or something
so now i'm wondering are all snacks in korea really tasty oh have the company put box together
tasted loads and just like picked out the best ones because so far there genuinely isn't
anything i haven't liked anyway how we know i've got two more to taste so next up we've
got crown sweet and sour chew candy strawberry flavored fruit chews these sweets deliver a punch
of flavor and take deliciousness to the next level so the little individually wrapped sweets
these are like really zingy and like a hint of sour but not so that your whole face is gonna
screw up they were really nice actually really quite refreshing but i tell you what i must have
been chewing it for about five minutes you get a lot sort of longevity from the sweet which is a
good thing because like you just really enjoy the flavors but my whole mouth feels really
kind of like it's just been like zingy and soury and yeah like those a lot so hopefully
last but not least this is the last thing in here we've got a little bag of candies
it says mamo's friend korean ginseng candy ginseng is a popular flavor in korea and other parts of
asia you won't have tried hard candies quite like these before don't bite down too hard it's got
this little gold package in the light individually wrapped and we get three of them it's a hard candy
so these are probably the only one i'm not as keen on it tastes a little bit like a cough medicine or
like um sore throat sweet that's what it kind of tastes like to me it's quite an unusual flavor now
i know that ginseng is usually something that you would have as an ingredient that would like pep
you up and make you a little bit more focused give you a bit more energy so maybe it's doing that
but it's quite an unusual taste wasn't what i was expecting at the same time it may be something i
could get used to but out of everything in here it's probably my least favorite item
i actually don't know which my favorite would be possibly the sweets but then i really liked
the crisps and i really like the sticks there's nothing in it i'd like i said that i particularly
didn't like apart from maybe those hard candies they're not as much for me but they're the
smallest item in here so that's fine but overall i've actually really enjoyed um unboxing this one
i love snacks and i really like the fact that everything in it was new to me
so that's a massive plus for me next month's box is a usa themed box which is very exciting
so usa is usually where i would go on holiday and usually where i've got snacks and stuff from
but i don't profess to have tried them all and yeah so they kind of have a little bit of special
meaning for me as well because it reminds me of being on holiday but yeah so that's pretty
exciting and usa snacks are pretty popular so i imagine most people will be excited to try
that box so i hope you've enjoyed watching this video i'd love it if you give it a thumbs up
it lets me know you're enjoying the content i'm producing like i said there is a discount code and
i'll link the website underneath so if you want to get 10 off for the whole life of the subscription
