frankly, unless you're genuinely willing to pay just for the novelty of the snacks, you'd be getting tremendously low value if you subscribe to most of the current available subscription services for such products. shipping often more than doubles the cost of these snacks due to the large amount of air in the bags.

which is not to say i'm opposed to it. if, indeed, there is a large interest in salty snacks as a box offering, we can definitely do that. as part of our sourcing for candies, we of course also come across salty and savory snack products so we already know where to get them. i'm just very skeptical that customers have such strong preference for novelty over value.
