SugarlyBox Candy Subscription Box Review – December 2018

We loved ours for the holidays! I’ve purchased from Sugarfina too and they are way more expensive. Def looks like there’s a bitter competitor on this thread for sheezlaz.

Yeah, this is one of the biggest gimmicky rip offs I’ve seen. I could literally go to the dollar store and buy candy and plastic containers, then print out cute labels from my computer. Holy cow…time to start my own subscription box!

This box is an absolute rip off! There is nothing exciting about this.

Um, if the box is one pound of candy, and the box costs $17.49, doesn’t that make the candy cost $17.49 per pound? Not sure how you came up with $25.44. Still not a good deal at all.

I think this box won’t be lasting too long. Nicely packaged cheap candy won’t be too popular.

Buying this box is a very risky thing to do. Companies which produce food items have wastage. The causes are numerous, but the candy is not suitable nor intended for sale to the public.

I am wondering if this is dumped out factory rejected items, or expired products ( the M and Ms look like they certainly could be) or a combination of various factors such as buying from retailers who had product left over.

The lack of proper labeling is illegal for sale to the public! If they are willing to break one law, chances are, they are willing to break more than one. I’m really surprised that an adult would buy, then eat, the non-labeled items sold, all of which look slightly ” off” to me visually.

I said the same things but my review wasn’t published. I’d rather eat an absinthe Oreo from a sealed package than touch this box, and absinthe is the worst flavor I can think of.

The thing is: Some of us know the FDA standards in the USA for food labeling/ packaging because it’s been a part of our professional lives to know about food safety and the FDA laws concerning labeling and truth in labeling.

This company is blatantly ignoring the FDA’s rules for mass merchandised edible products.

People could be ingesting expired candy, candy thrown out by the manufacturer for defects or presence of a contaminant at the factory ( it happens every day!).
for quality control issues such as pestilence.

It could be hijacked, stolen or diverted by employees at different warehouses. No one knows.

I would not touch anything without a label and a clear source route back to the manufacturer, i.e. from a source with the right to sell the products.
The reason I do not think this company has the right to sell the products is because no source is given and no branding is known unless the candy happens to be imprinted ( Jelly Belly).

I’m notifying Jelly Belly of the November box’s lack of ingredients, calorie count, brand source and so on in the candies imprinted ” Jelly Belly” after the holidays.
IF more of us do this, I believe things will change, as in, this likely bootleg box will go away.

This is the second review of this mess in less than one week!
Please stop reviewing something that may be dangerous to those who do not know the FDA and FTC rules for proper labeling of products sold to the public. ( Meaning your aunt Betty’s batch of fudge given and served to 10 people is exempt, but if she takes her wrapped fudge to any market for selling, it has to be labeled with ingredients, calorie and nutritional info, and the FDA has to inspect her kitchen and certify it as a food preparation area for commercial use).

This box makes the Oreo one seem like a good idea.

Why is this box even being validated with a review? It’s such a ripoff, but it continues to be showcased by a reputable site. There is no information regarding sourcing – a trip to Walgreens would be a step up. If this is sent at random, that’s even worse. This candy could be from some dumpster for all anyone knows. Ridiculous.

What a bizarre box. There is no convenience, novelty, originality, or any other positive thing for that matter. I get paying more for hard-to-find candy but Tootsie Rolls and M&Ms? Not only are they cheap but you can get them from vending machines and gas stations. It’s not like you have to go out of your way to get your hands on those.

This isn’t even really nice packaging to make up for the huge cost difference

The value of this box has to be under $5 for the candy.

Not to mention those m&m’s are in rough shape. This box is almost insulting

So, they’re repackaging candy and reselling for a profit? Makes no sense when you can buy these at the store for so much less $$.

So, they did a quick run to Walgreens and are overcharging you for it, plus they can’t be bothered to provide information for you in case of an allergic reaction? Sounds like a very shady company to me.

Holy moly that’s a lot of money for that candy.

Uhhhh m&m’s? That’s like zero effort and thought and you can literally get these at every corner store and pharmacy for $3!

I could be wrong, but the gummies look like Albanese brand.

The pricing on this is ridiculous. Total contents are like $4. Hard pass.
