This Snack Box Takes You Around the World Without Leaving Your Home

By Khairina Ibrahim at University of Wisconsin- Madison

A month ago, you would probably kill for a chance to lay around and sleep all day. However, come winter break, doing just that gets boring after a day or two. It's not a surprise that anyone would rather be on vacation at this time of the year. But is it even possible to go traveling with a shoestring budget these days?

That's right, $4 can still take you places. A snack box from Try The World gives you the chance to travel around the globe without actually moving from your seat. In fact, I went on a "trip" myself and here's what it tasted like:

1. Sweden

These ginger snaps by Nyakers are thin, crispy, and packed with flavor. Each bite gives a strong taste of ginger, just like how a traditional Swedish pepparkakor should. The orange flavor gives it a pleasant twist.

2. Italy

Fragrant and simple, these rosemary snacks from Lecci della Torre are oddly addictive. It's made of three simple ingredients that's highly common in Italian cooking: herbs, olive oil, and love.

3. United Kingdom

This is my favorite snack of all. The shrimpy flavor is subtle and takes your regular potato chips to another level. It's definitely a classic British snack.

4. Thailand

Also known as Thong Muan, these crispy rolls have a good balance of savoury and sweet. It's a delicious snack that can be enjoyed with a cup of traditional Thai tea.

5. Brazil

I don't know about you, but I love peanut candies. This particular Brazilian candy has been around since the '80s. It's soft, sweet and is definitely a must-have for all peanut lovers!

This "trip" might not compare to an actual vacation, but trust me when I say it's still fun and exciting. So order your first snack box today for only $4 with this discount. Bon Voyage!
