Ahh right. This is definitely a road block :(

What was the cost analysis like to include a diverse selection of savory items? Filling an entire box with chips is definitely not cost effective, but including one with a mix of other goods seems plausible? Is there demand for a "snacks" box consisting of sweet and savory?

The problem I had with Umai crate was nearly every box was just ramen. Might as well call it the ramen box.

well yeah there were some demand for snack boxes from customers who were keen on Japanese chocolates and confectionaries like Pocky, Glico as well as exotic chip flavors from Asia. interestingly, there was even a request for a ramen box. it's not something we've written off entirely, it's definitely something my business partner and i still discuss from time to time. if you genuinely are interested in a savory box, drop me an email at sales@supercandyshop.com. i'd be willing to start that new line if there is even a single interested subscriber. i will make sure there's no ramen haha.
