Oh Jackie. As a Brit, this video has me so enraged! The salt is overflowing! They've ripped you off so badly with this stuff. All of it, even the stuff that's from other countries (like the mochi and the cactus snacks etc) all of it is available in the 'world food isle' in British supermarkets, or in cash & carry shops (like See Woo) The salt just flows from me knowing that items they've charged $4 for, like the seaweed biscuits, are only like 25p here. And they're charging $16 for a bag of pick'n'mix sweets worth about £2 at the most. You got so, so very ripped off. 😞
@@antoniasiddall same even though I live in the US it's sad seeing fanta that over priced when I can go to a gas station and get a 3× the size one for 1$ at most ╥﹏╥
It hurts seeing how overpriced this is compared to going to the pound shop and getting this for like £20... Jackie if you ever want this please let me know id love to send you a proper one with Scottish sweets!
Came here to find a comment like this. It's heartbreaking to see the prices of things like the Cadbury oreo bar that I could pay £1 (about $1.40) for that they charge $6!? I understand there will be import tax on items you'll never get to try over there, but for the cost of shipping too for them to throw 20 pence sweets on top! Honestly I'm disgusted by their prices, Jackie we will send you UK sweets, please don't ever buy one of these again.
Same.. As an American in California... All this Mexican candy.. And Cadbury stuff can be found at a dollar tree.. Or a Mexican grocery store for WAY cheaper..
Agreed - I felt the same with the stuff I recognised too! Those scampi flavoured crisp things I remember buying years ago for next to nothing (in fairness, I like ACTUAL scampi more, but they're not bad) and I can easily pick up the Cadbury Wholenut for about £1 in Sainsburys. I remember once sending a large Mint Aero bar to a girl in the USA - it cost more for postage than it did to buy, but her reaction when it arrived was worth every penny!
There's a lot of mexican candy! Pretty much all the spicy stuff. The rockaleta is not like a jawbreaker, is more like a chewy spicy lollipop with a bubblegum in the middle. Greetings from Mexico, hope you like those! Also the fuego flavor is fire!
I also have the Lucas Méxicin thing and it’s A candy that is spicy but it got banned so it’s very uncommon to see it. It’s basically a spicy sour candy.
we can also point out the fact that lucas apears but it would have been better in the classic way they are presented insted of the one she got, I also noticed the banderillas and the pulparindots from "De la rosa" (famous for their mazapan)
Rocaleta is definitely like a jawbreaker. It’s got layers and layers and though it can be chewed near the end, I wouldn’t recommend taking a big bite from the start.
Looking at the Mexican candy, snacks, and drinks: they over-priced some of them. But I do live on the border, so we get them way cheaper. I don't think the boxes are really worth it, honestly.
This! I live on the border and I can get banderillas 2 for a dollar! All the Mexican candies are overpriced , and the gummies I’ve seen at the dollar store / dulceria for cheap!
The “cat litter” stuff is called chocolate crumbles, they’re essentially a mixture of milk chocolate and biscuit bits mixed together and then extruded out into sticks that are broken up, they’re a nostalgic kids sweet. They come in other flavours too, but it’s usually just stuff added to the base mixture
I’m from the UK and in my option the boxes are pretty overpriced since you can buy most of these items in the sweet shops for £1-£3 however there are some items that are from different countries which could also bump up the price 💗Their packaging and presentation is amazing though and the boxes may also work for people that don’t live in the UK that can’t just go and buy these sweets😂💗
I agree with you and this is an issue however this company is from the USA so sweets from the UK will get put at a higher price because of imports and things like that but the items from the USA should NOT be that expensive
profit. if they can bup everything up a few dollars its giving them more room to buy things to expland their business. plus international shipping and for such large orders doesnt come cheap. its more than just a face value price
Personally I don’t like being disappointed, so most mystery boxes aren’t for me. I’d rather curate my own box based on my own tastes. I’m more interested in the drink. I’m a US grain and we have Fanta pineapple! It’s my favorite
@@equus_ferus_caballus I really don’t care lol. I don’t post comments for clout or likes. I just express my opinions on occasion and if people agree, that’s cool.
Jackie, to make things more confusing we have smarties that are like the Canadian ones, called Smarties. The Cadbury Gems are a fairly recent product and are smarties with a better quality chocolate. (Although before Cadbury's was bought by Kraft, their chocolate was excellent. It's down do okay/meh nowadays)
Gems aren't new in India they have been in India since before I was born. Plus the packet nerde got is sold for around 10 rupees in India. 70 rupees is equal to 1 dollar. So the same packet is sold for 28times its price in India.
Thank you for doing this review. This looks like something my children will love and will bring a new level of excitement to Christmas (which is extra important this year seeing as we lost their brother right before Christmas last year so Christmas is pretty hard on all of us) I've managed to save $50 so far and if I cut out some stuff I can afford to get them something like this and an individual gift for each of them. I definitely would have been apprehensive without your review but I do think the joy they'll get out of it will be worth the sacrifice 😁 thank you, thank you
Just to say, as a british person we do have smarties and they're definitely more common than the 'gems'. We also have swizzles which is better known as a brand rather than a sweet/candy. I'm not too sure are american, but they're quite different to smarties since they're fizzy/sour sweets. I'm curious to know what candy is like from the US or canada, I've never tried any national candy and would love to know what they're like. Hope this helped :D
American smarties are like the “swizzels” I’ve never heard of “swizzles” before but look exactly like American smarties. Gems look like knock off of m&ms in the nicest way possible 💞😂. They probably taste better though, I’m not a big fan of American chocolate. Much prefer kinder, cadbury, Godiva, Lindt, and probably others 😂.
Definitely overpriced, but good if you want to randomly discover something new. I'm glad you got a lot of my favourite sweets, especially the Refreshers (nothing like Starburst) and Drumstick lollies. I'm so easily pleased 😆
I don’t like that she has an ad of a subscription box with this video. I mean of course she’s going to complain about the mystery box. She’s can’t say a lot of positive stuff about this company while having another ad that’s related.
@@molybdomancer195 it’s actually a pretty good comparison. Some of the Japanese box stuff actually is their junk food that’s unavailable to us. The prices for both are a bit inflated. It’s intended to share snacks that are not common in other countries with those countries.
@@sha9392 it is a bit odd but I think the bias comes in over the fact the Japanese box is things most people can’t get while the UK box has things many of us find common. Seeing as she recognizes some products you get the bias.
Sending much love from our family to yours, Jackie! Hoping you're getting lots of rest and that everything medical is going smoothly. *many digital hugs!* ~Raven

To be fair, when I visited your beautiful country.. I spent HOURS in a grocery store.. it was awesome! Spent a fortune on things I’d never seen nor tried before. It’s one of my favorite memories from that trip.
As a Europe guy I only knew 3-4 Things but I still think these sweets are waaay overpriced. You will find them at least 25% cheaper at other stores. And, what you were already telling, you can choose exactly what you want to try and like
As an English teenager, I was like “Omg. Those are delicious. Love that” “Why did they put that in there?” “I really wanna see Jackie’s reaction to that!” Lol
From what I can see there are candies that are common in another countries so I'm here to say takis, tamarind candies, nopalia, pulparindos, rockaleta, lucas gusano and fanta pineapple are super common in Mexico!!!
I'm mexican and I've never seen Nopalia, doesn't surprise me though since making cactus based goodies is kind of trendy since they are healthy and yummy.
Thank you Jackie for making videos for us and thank you for taking your time to make videos and edit them for us. Thank you for making us laugh and smile even if we're having a bad day. Let's not forget the salt family is a strong one!!
I think the math of outside items should also include how much you would pay for them in shipping/ customs as well, assuming they’re coming from the same place the math should also include the individual equivalent. I love watching your reviews, and it’s definitely a great point of needing to consider other costs :)
Jackie I found your channel recently and pretty much have you on my TV whenever I'm home now. Love your content, you and sika are the best and Patrick too! Happy to be a grain and you've inspired me to start crafting again.
Hey Jackie! The gems candy that u unboxed, is a famous candy from India. Its basically like m&m s and smarties. It reminds me off my childhood when I used to empty the whole pack into my mouth at once🤣
omg I love watching Jackie being confused about some British sweets or American sweets that she's never seen before it's so cutee 19:18 I've never seen them in the UK so I assume that they're not sold in the UK or at least England where I live
The jammie dodgers normally come as a strawberry jam filling with a love heart in the middle, every so often they release special editions. I love the orange twirl and don’t get me started on the white Oreo mmm mmm mmm. The “ cat litter” I know as chocolate nibbles.
Jackie, you didn't mention if you actually swallow the shells, but if you do, stop! "As they're fibrous and indigestible, the shells may damage your digestive tract. If not chewed properly, the sharp pieces of shell could possibly puncture or attach to the linings of the esophagus or digestive tract." I love eating sunflower seeds too, but I break the shells with my teeth and discard them. It's a fun activity honestly lol
I’m in Ontario and get Hot tamales all the time… they’re even at dollarama. So if you like them you can definitely find them here in Canada. Very happy to know about the customs being so expensive.. that only will keep me from buying. As most of these, at least in the first box… could’ve come from the dollar store.
The Brain Licker sent me right back to my childhood, I used to ride down to the corner store to get them. Used to hurt my tongue though, that ball combined with the sourish liquid candy is quite abrasive.
I’m Canadian and would love these but the shipping and customs makes me wanna try elsewhere 🤷🏼♀️ I love mystery snack boxes! Would be cool to see a few savoury ones that are more affordable for Canadians
I definitely think it is a little "Meh" considering how easy it is to order things online, but I think for someone who isn't well traveled, or maybe someone who doesn't "do" the interwebs, it might be a good tasty fieldtrip. Personally, I think just pick and choosing would be a better bet. Still, considering no work is to be done by gathering all these tasties, I guess it really depends on if someone is looking for "New and intriguing" or if they are just wanting a "surprise me with sweets" sorta deal.
fun facts :The brand Swizzles is English and is the common halloween sweets. And the brand Tango is a common English 'kid' drink in restaunts and pubs. PS, hope these sweets sparked some salty senses, stay safe and well love you from the UK!
I’m LOVING this mystery package situation. Thank you for the always entertaining content Jackie!! Sending the loves from Aotearoa ❤️ ALsO, is there another coffee and conversation coming out any time soon? I keep checking Spotify but alas, there is nothing 😔
Are these all sweet & savoury things from all over or just England? I recognise some but not all - I understand the prices are different but some of them are absolutely ridiculous. I wish I had the money to send you sweets, chocolate & snacks from the UK because for $350 (?) ish, you wouldn't need any sweets for the next year. The first box you opened with the sweets & lollypops on top, you can get a big ass bag of those for £1.
theyre chocolate nibs!!!! i had them when i was little bc we would go to the corner shop and get them as a treat and theyre amazing personally i love them bc of memories and to me they taste amazing
Their prices are very, very off. Skittles, in the US, are under $2, but the website's price was $5! No one would ever buy skittles again if they had to pay 5 bucks a package.
Ikr! I totally understand small business that bake cakes or creat stuff. I understand their prices because they used their skill to make the stuff.. The person here bought all of this candy soo
The one in the video is from Mexico but it is not a jawbreaker, it is called Rockaleta, it is a lollipop, the center is a gumball and then it is covered with a candy of different flavors (chili, lime, orange and sour pineapple), you can get to the gum in 1 bite something impossible with a jawbreaker
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that we have a few of these things in South Africa! One example is Cadbury. We also call them Smarties here lol. Great video Jackie xc
Thank you so much for wasting money to test crap kits/ scam items! I've been a fan for 2+ years now and i wait for your videos like it's ✨ Christmas ✨ love you!
I just finished my Bokksu Japanese snacks “Seasons of Autumn” already & I loved it, just wished I could try the Moon viewing snack box sometime it looked pretty good to me 🥰🤤🤤🤤😻
Can't express how happy I get when I see you've released a new video 💕 love you, hope you're doing well! I love my chips, beef jerky. So salty but love my chocolate And yes Hawaiian punch is a juice here in usa
Depends on my mood, but I lean towards salty. These mystery 📦 are a blast. I would rather customize a box if I'm spending that kind of money on candy. When we gunna see another craft creation. Your clay babies always are fun to watch and an inspiration.
UK Prices for sweets/drinks from the first box: Cadbury white chocolate Oreo: £1 Refreshers/MrChew/lovehearts: 5p (per sweet) all the lolis: 10p (approx each ) Strawberry Pocky (love heart addition) : £1.10 Cadbury gems: 85p Tango Dark berry: £1 Nerds: 50p - £1 (depending on the size of the pack) Love heart dip: 40p - 70p I can't say for sure about the cinnamon sweets and Taki's (had to google for ref), but you're looking at about £10-£11 or about $13-$14 (USD) OR $17-$18 (Canadian) I'm sorry Jackie, they totally had you over on this one.
Never heard of this company. Thank you for trying it out! 🖤 The gummies look so yummy! Love the Halloween themed ones, that's cool beans. But dude...soooooo many of these items, at least the ones that are available in the US, cost less that $3. Takis are $2, Nerds are $1, random small candies are worth cents, etc. Honestly, I'd just grab the cute gummy mixes bc I don't think that most of the other items match the hype of the "mystery box." They are all just way too overpriced and it doesn't look like you truly get bang for your buck. Especially when you're paying 5 times the original price for convenience. Mehhhh not worth it🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️ Also, "cat litter" had me DEAD🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The things of the world may break your heart, but God will always put it back together, and when you live with him, your heart will never be broken again.❤🙏🏻
As a UK grain, I can see that they've overpriced some of the British sweets there. Jammie Dodgers are really good though. Would have been cool if they included Twiglets too.
I think it's probably the fact that me, and Italian grain, don't literally have a good 98% of all that stuff but this is the kind of mystery box that I would probably love. I love trying new salty/sweet treats and we literally don't have all that type of stuff and I would love to try them out!

Sika is the expert at the candy and food
Being from the UK and knowing how much a lot of the stuff sells for in shops these boxes seem well overpriced.
Ikr? The cans of fanta for like $6 each pained me. They legit give them away with orders at your cheap takeaways 😂😅
@@antoniasiddall same even though I live in the US it's sad seeing fanta that over priced when I can go to a gas station and get a 3× the size one for 1$ at most ╥﹏╥
Agreed. Their price for a single bag of skittles was $6. Normally they are a dollar or two (depending on sales).
OMG the big bag of cheeto footballs I get from my corner shop cost £1 😲
The cheeto football's here are like 1 pound at the shop
It hurts seeing how overpriced this is compared to going to the pound shop and getting this for like £20... Jackie if you ever want this please let me know id love to send you a proper one with Scottish sweets!

There's a lot of mexican candy! Pretty much all the spicy stuff. The rockaleta is not like a jawbreaker, is more like a chewy spicy lollipop with a bubblegum in the middle.

I'd totally be up for sending you a box of UK sweets and treats Jackie! This box was so overpriced and made me sad as a British grain 😭😭😭
This is exactly why I don't order those kinds of boxes: shipping expenses.
Also alot of overpriced items like the blue takis I can get that at the market for 3-4$
Looking at the Mexican candy, snacks, and drinks: they over-priced some of them. But I do live on the border, so we get them way cheaper.
I don't think the boxes are really worth it, honestly.
A banderilla should cost no more than 1 dollar and even then it's overpriced. Maybe 2 for overhead but 4?! Hell nah
And sometimes on the border things end up being more expensive that in the rest of the country
yeahh, 4 dollars for a banderilla is insane.
Right. Mexican candy aint expensive normally but people buy them and over price them
This! I live on the border and I can get banderillas 2 for a dollar! All the Mexican candies are overpriced , and the gummies I’ve seen at the dollar store / dulceria for cheap!

Yep chocolate crumbles the caramel ones are nicer though
Well there's an idea for a fun dessert idea: A "cat litter" cake with chocolate modeling "Poo" that you have to "Clean up".
Welp
I learn something every day
On their website they have it in their "pet mix" as chocolate cat litter our cats use a wood pellet litter and it looks just like that lol
UK grain here they are chocolate nibbles
I’m from the UK and in my option the boxes are pretty overpriced since you can buy most of these items in the sweet shops for £1-£3 however there are some items that are from different countries which could also bump up the price 💗Their packaging and presentation is amazing though and the boxes may also work for people that don’t live in the UK that can’t just go and buy these sweets😂💗
for Jackie i think £1 is about $1.35 and £3 is about $4.06
IKRRR I can littray walk ta a local nisa,premier or costume and littraly send 1-3 pounds on theses same sweets
I agree with you and this is an issue however this company is from the USA so sweets from the UK will get put at a higher price because of imports and things like that but the items from the USA should NOT be that expensive

Yeah gems are the Cadbury version of smarties and they're more like m&ms to me than commonwealth smarties

And, what you were already telling, you can choose exactly what you want to try and like
Calling Hawaiian Punch “juice” is giving it a lot of credit, I think, Jackie😂😂
As an English teenager, I was like
“Omg. Those are delicious. Love that”
“Why did they put that in there?”
“I really wanna see Jackie’s reaction to that!”
Lol
Me too 😂
I thought you said english teacher and was trying to understand what you meant lol
From what I can see there are candies that are common in another countries so I'm here to say takis, tamarind candies, nopalia, pulparindos, rockaleta, lucas gusano and fanta pineapple are super common in Mexico!!!
I'm mexican and I've never seen Nopalia, doesn't surprise me though since making cactus based goodies is kind of trendy since they are healthy and yummy.
@@adriang1921 curioso, yo usualmente los veo en los supermercados o tienditas junto a las papitas.
"You did a candy thing without zika!!" you know you're not going to hear the end of this right.
U mean sika
Thank you Jackie for making videos for us and thank you for taking your time to make videos and edit them for us. Thank you for making us laugh and smile even if we're having a bad day. Let's not forget the salt family is a strong one!!
Amen! I'm just now pulling out of a very dark time. I was down for a month. Jackie really helped me.
@@mookzmom awee I'm so sorry, I hope you feel better!!
I think the math of outside items should also include how much you would pay for them in shipping/ customs as well, assuming they’re coming from the same place the math should also include the individual equivalent. I love watching your reviews, and it’s definitely a great point of needing to consider other costs :)
Jackie I found your channel recently and pretty much have you on my TV whenever I'm home now. Love your content, you and sika are the best and Patrick too! Happy to be a grain and you've inspired me to start crafting again.
Hey Jackie! The gems candy that u unboxed, is a famous candy from India. Its basically like m&m s and smarties. It reminds me off my childhood when I used to empty the whole pack into my mouth at once🤣
I still do that 😂
It taste exactly like smarties
omg I love watching Jackie being confused about some British sweets or American sweets that she's never seen before it's so cutee
19:18
I've never seen them in the UK so I assume that they're not sold in the UK or at least England where I live
😂❤️
@@nerdecrafter Hi Jackie love from India 👋👋
I'm worried every time Jackie says the price of the items because it sounds like her soul escaped for a bit.
At 13:57 Jackie's picture when she was a little grain is just so CUTEEEEE
"they're kinda like starbursts . . . . But softer . . . .and a different flavor"
*So basically nothing like a starburst*
Would love to see Sika review on most of the weird snacks/sweets 🤗
I’ve been leaning toward salty lately, but my absolute favorite is a sweet/salty combination!
The jammie dodgers normally come as a strawberry jam filling with a love heart in the middle, every so often they release special editions. I love the orange twirl and don’t get me started on the white Oreo mmm mmm mmm. The “ cat litter” I know as chocolate nibbles.
The birthday cake Oreos are my favorite Oreos!
I’m sure back in Philippines my siblings and I (especially my older sister and I) used to eat that candy which is lipstick!💕
Jackie, you didn't mention if you actually swallow the shells, but if you do, stop! "As they're fibrous and indigestible, the shells may damage your digestive tract. If not chewed properly, the sharp pieces of shell could possibly puncture or attach to the linings of the esophagus or digestive tract."
I love eating sunflower seeds too, but I break the shells with my teeth and discard them. It's a fun activity honestly lol
lol I chew them quite a bit I promise
I eat the shells as well- I chew them very well, and normally spit them out after I’ve gotten the salt off-
@@sweetsageanimations3171 I don’t like the salt on then so i break the shell, careful not to tough the salt with my tongue. Am I weird?
@@doubletrouble4815 You can save yourself the trouble and just buy unsalted sunflower seeds.
@@doubletrouble4815 yea lol
I’m in Ontario and get Hot tamales all the time… they’re even at dollarama. So if you like them you can definitely find them here in Canada. Very happy to know about the customs being so expensive.. that only will keep me from buying. As most of these, at least in the first box… could’ve come from the dollar store.
I was shocked that the takis were 7 dollars, for me here is 1 dollar and 50 cents and if its family size its 2 bags for 6 dollars
4 dollars for the fanta sodas floored me. I mean it's like 5$ for a 12 pack.
Jackie opens the box of candy's
Jackie: awh that smells so goog.
The Brain Licker sent me right back to my childhood, I used to ride down to the corner store to get them. Used to hurt my tongue though, that ball combined with the sourish liquid candy is quite abrasive.
I’m Canadian and would love these but the shipping and customs makes me wanna try elsewhere 🤷🏼♀️ I love mystery snack boxes! Would be cool to see a few savoury ones that are more affordable for Canadians
Canada 🇨🇦
I definitely think it is a little "Meh" considering how easy it is to order things online, but I think for someone who isn't well traveled, or maybe someone who doesn't "do" the interwebs, it might be a good tasty fieldtrip. Personally, I think just pick and choosing would be a better bet. Still, considering no work is to be done by gathering all these tasties, I guess it really depends on if someone is looking for "New and intriguing" or if they are just wanting a "surprise me with sweets" sorta deal.
The guy falling down the steps SENT me 😂😂😂
Everytime I see mexican candy abroad it warms my little heart, the representation excites me. Hope you enjoy them!
As someone in the UK, I think the prices of a lot of the items you can get in North America are higher because they are import items for us.
Omg the Cheetos footballs are REALLY common in Spain, and they are amazing! We call them 'pelotazos'
That one pack of Skittles is 5$? Sounds like they're boosting some of their items.
The Mike and Ike's say ¢25 on the box and they're charging $2.00. Definitely overpriced.
It looks like they’re charging twice what you’d pay for them in any store which is usually already marked up x 4.
those little bags are no joke like 9 dollars where I'm from
I’m in the UK and those unicorn Jammie dodgers are 50p so less than $1 and they’ve priced them at $5 it’s insane 😵
@@jemmaswales8027 Yeah, it's too overpriced, IMO.
I think they wrap the chocolate like that to prevent or help if they end up breaking and incase they melt...
14:20 I'm literally sat here eating bubblegum millions right now lmao
fun facts :The brand Swizzles is English and is the common halloween sweets.
And the brand Tango is a common English 'kid' drink in restaunts and pubs.
PS, hope these sweets sparked some salty senses, stay safe and well love you from the UK!
I’m LOVING this mystery package situation. Thank you for the always entertaining content Jackie!! Sending the loves from Aotearoa ❤️
ALsO, is there another coffee and conversation coming out any time soon? I keep checking Spotify but alas, there is nothing 😔
Are these all sweet & savoury things from all over or just England? I recognise some but not all - I understand the prices are different but some of them are absolutely ridiculous.
I wish I had the money to send you sweets, chocolate & snacks from the UK because for $350 (?) ish, you wouldn't need any sweets for the next year.
The first box you opened with the sweets & lollypops on top, you can get a big ass bag of those for £1.
Ikr? Pretty sure most of this is from like the pound shop and home bargains.
theyre chocolate nibs!!!! i had them when i was little bc we would go to the corner shop and get them as a treat and theyre amazing personally i love them bc of memories and to me they taste amazing
Their prices are very, very off. Skittles, in the US, are under $2, but the website's price was $5! No one would ever buy skittles again if they had to pay 5 bucks a package.
The $7 takis 🥴
Ikr!
I totally understand small business that bake cakes or creat stuff. I understand their prices because they used their skill to make the stuff..
The person here bought all of this candy soo
Here in the U.S. your “dip” is called fun dip😂 funny how names are changed
as someone from the uk, swizzles is a sweet brand, and we do have smarties and we call them smarties!! ive never seen then gem things before tho
We call the big jawbreaker things, everlasting gobstoppers 🇬🇧
The one in the video is from Mexico but it is not a jawbreaker, it is called Rockaleta, it is a lollipop, the center is a gumball and then it is covered with a candy of different flavors (chili, lime, orange and sour pineapple), you can get to the gum in 1 bite something impossible with a jawbreaker
That’s what we in the U.S. call the small ones we call the big ones jawbreakers
Well hum... In french we call it "couilles de mammouth", so litteraly "mammoth balls" :')
I'm pleasantly surprised to see that we have a few of these things in South Africa! One example is Cadbury. We also call them Smarties here lol. Great video Jackie xc
Whatching you say 'i dont know this brand' to some of my favorite food/drinks is hilarious
Thank you so much for wasting money to test crap kits/ scam items! I've been a fan for 2+ years now and i wait for your videos like it's ✨ Christmas ✨ love you!
Glad to see you’re a fellow seaWEED lover Jackie ❤️😂 knew there was a deeper reason to why I loved you so much!!
The devils lettuce?! ACTUAL CANNABIS?!
I love dried seaweed and seaweed snacks too!
I just finished my Bokksu Japanese snacks “Seasons of Autumn” already & I loved it, just wished I could try the Moon viewing snack box sometime it looked pretty good to me 🥰🤤🤤🤤😻
I almost spit my snack out when you said " I have a sword bean HAHA!" 😂😂
12:49 the habanero pepper and chipotle pepper are the best flavors, I recommend them so much (mostly habanero)
Can't express how happy I get when I see you've released a new video 💕 love you, hope you're doing well!
I love my chips, beef jerky. So salty but love my chocolate
And yes Hawaiian punch is a juice here in usa
Man, Sika would’ve loved to be in this video with all the snacks and candy ( idk if it’s still going but, #feedsika )
Depends on my mood, but I lean towards salty. These mystery 📦 are a blast. I would rather customize a box if I'm spending that kind of money on candy. When we gunna see another craft creation. Your clay babies always are fun to watch and an inspiration.
Being from the uk we have smarties but they are made by nestle and the gems are just a Cadbury version
UK Prices for sweets/drinks from the first box:
Cadbury white chocolate Oreo: £1
Refreshers/MrChew/lovehearts: 5p (per sweet)
all the lolis: 10p (approx each )
Strawberry Pocky (love heart addition) : £1.10
Cadbury gems: 85p
Tango Dark berry: £1
Nerds: 50p - £1 (depending on the size of the pack)
Love heart dip: 40p - 70p
I can't say for sure about the cinnamon sweets and Taki's (had to google for ref), but you're looking at about £10-£11 or about $13-$14 (USD) OR $17-$18 (Canadian)
I'm sorry Jackie, they totally had you over on this one.
More mystery boxes ... Love these (if they are not full of salt lol) ... Well love them anyways lol ... Love ya Jackie always
Nerdy crafter: guess I’m just a fan of…sea-WEED.
Me:ohhhh- I got you. I got you :]
I personally would love flavored sunflower seeds if they flavored the seeds and not the shells.
These are everyday sweets for me 😂 I love the drinks you got. And sweets
AHHH I LOVE ALL OF THE LEMON HEAD CANDIES... MINUS THE GRAPE 🍇 🍊 🍏 .... YUCK... BUT THE BERRY I NEED
Never heard of this company. Thank you for trying it out! 🖤
The gummies look so yummy! Love the Halloween themed ones, that's cool beans. But dude...soooooo many of these items, at least the ones that are available in the US, cost less that $3. Takis are $2, Nerds are $1, random small candies are worth cents, etc. Honestly, I'd just grab the cute gummy mixes bc I don't think that most of the other items match the hype of the "mystery box." They are all just way too overpriced and it doesn't look like you truly get bang for your buck. Especially when you're paying 5 times the original price for convenience. Mehhhh not worth it🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️
Also, "cat litter" had me DEAD🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
ADHD kicking in like: These are heavy, let me get a scale. The impulse, I would have done the same tbh
Sameeee
Jackie:" Mystery boxes breaka' ma heart "
Also Jackie :Does another mystery box unboxing video
I just realized, look at the salt shaker and look where the salt is going on the top shelf and you’ll find the doll Dollightful made for her!!
The freddo biscuits are my soon favorites !!! They are delicious !
I would love to see both Jackie and sika try military food!! #feedsika
Gems literally cost 13 cents (₹10) here in India 😂
How could you eat without sika!!! 🥺
The things of the world may break your heart, but God will always put it back together, and when you live with him, your heart will never be broken again.❤🙏🏻
Love you and Sika. Keep up the good work. You guys are Awsome!
Hey Jackie those Takis, Pulparindots and other salty,sweet chilly candy are Mexican treats 😋 👌
They sure are, we love 'en here in Texas, too
As a UK grain, I can see that they've overpriced some of the British sweets there. Jammie Dodgers are really good though. Would have been cool if they included Twiglets too.
As she likes salty I wonder what she would think of twiglets. Also think Nik Naks and Monster Munch would be a good addition
@@TheRocketbabydoll Agreed! They're all pretty good, so it would definitely be interesting to see what she thinks about them.
I am from India and gems are so popular here and you can find them at every shop I love it
I’ve tried the strawberry milk that is in the video it’s really good you should try it too !!
The thing you called cat litter is in most sweet shops in England and I LOVE it, it taste so good
I've never seen Fanta Berry before, but Fanta Pineapple is one of my favorite sodas!
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who eats sunflower seeds whole!
This was a great video but I couldn't stop looking at all the amazing Pokemon stuff behind you! haha
I think it's probably the fact that me, and Italian grain, don't literally have a good 98% of all that stuff but this is the kind of mystery box that I would probably love. I love trying new salty/sweet treats and we literally don't have all that type of stuff and I would love to try them out!
