Mmmm a tasty learning curve. Hoping mine comes tomorrow!

As much as my high hopes are for my box to come tomorrow, it says my box is due next week. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> I know they said they're late through their e-mail but I've been CRAVING their snacks ever since I signed up. I thought they were going to come later this week..! I really hope they come soon though. I still have high hopes for graze since I'm actually hearing back from them. I still haven't received my Glossybox shipping info e-mail but I've managed to track it down and it hasn't moved for a week now. This is a delicious wait compared to that!

Mine says it will be delivered this week so here's hoping. I know a lot of companies have a bump and grind beginning and then come out fine. Hopefully graze will do that. They are quite successful in the UK so I think it should work out.

FYI y'all, the orange infused rasins are AMAZING. i hate rasins normally but these things are addicting. no complaints about graze box for me so far! i've also earned a bunch of $1 off boxes from posting about it on my tumblr and instagram.

Tell me about it! I got Hot Cross Yum and pretty much devoured all of it immediately.

I am so confused! My box was updated for the week.... graze is playing with my emotions! 

  

Here's my upcoming contents. I have a bit of an eating issue/weird relationship with food so grazebox is going to be a tasty challenge.

(I haven't put anything in my "love" section yet because I haven't tried them yet! So I got likes instead!)

After reading that article about their technology, I can totally see a version opening in Portland. It's so obvious I'm a little surprised I haven't seen a Kickstarter for one yet.

I got my second box today, a few days after my first one and it did not have an Air Mail sticker this time, plus, my third box is up.

Oo let us know how that My Thai is. I was curious but hesitant about that.

I've noticed something interesting:



Compare the two screenshots taken from my phone of my boyfriend's boxes. The first was taken maybe a couple days ago, and the next one was taken tonight. Notice something missing? The "invite your friends" tab is gone! I believe you can still invite whoever you want, but they are not currently trying to encourage an increase in their number of American customers. (When I visit someone's box contents, it still gives me their promo code, and I had no issues viewing my rewards once I use the "click to claim your reward" link in my emails.)

The FAQ on the graze website says that existing graze members "have a limited number of invitations," but I'm not sure I believe that when I got 39 people to join...  

This is evidence that they're trying to concentrate on the customers they have rather than getting even more new customers! It also might mean that they are a teeny bit in over their heads, though... good luck graze!

I tried the banoffee pie. Very weird, not sure if I like it. Pecans and sliced almonds were obviously as expected, but the banana slices were kind of funky. Chewy like other people have noted but they had almost no flavor, so I'm not sure that I'm a fan. The "fudge pieces" looked oddly light in the graze photos and looked awfully light in person as well, and after I tried them they are definitely caramel, not fudge. Is this a British thing? They were tasty but I thought calling them "fudge" was bizzare.

I loved the apple cinnamon flapjack, even if the apple cinnamon flavor wasn't strong. It was basically super tasty oatmeal in granola bar form. I also really liked that it was cut into three separate pieces. Very tasty...I really want the honeycomb one next!

i noticed that and wondered what was up. they should make individual unique codes if they want to limit the amount of people signing up, because i got 7 people yesterday alone to sign up :x

British thing. Over there, fudge is based on sugar, butter, and milk. Alternatively, you could say that chocolatey fudge is a North American thing.

Hmmmm.  At least they're trying to do their best to make sure we're happy with our boxes.  We'll call them out real LOUD if they don't!

LOL. I like that the strawberries and bananas are both kind of chewy, rather than hard or crisp...I ate some of it individually and some combined. I wouldn't say it tastes just like a milkshake but I think the combo is really yummy. If you hate bananas though you may not like it, there were quite a few of them...

Sorry, I missed this post!

You guys make it sound so good...I probably won't eat the bananas by themselves if I ever happen to get that in my box! As long as the bananas aren't flaky it's all good!

This & banoffee pie is a banana + toffee pie, so chocolate wouldn't make sense.

Welp, I just got my first graze box yesterday and its already gone lol. My boyfriend and I ate the honeycomb crunch and garden of england last night as snacks, I had apple cinnamon flapjacks for breakfast, then just ate the herby bread basket for lunch. They've been marked as 2 loves and 2 likes, I definitely wouldn't mind getting them again.
 

Only thing is that I don't think the apple cinnamon flapjack was worth 238 calories lol. The bread basket was only 78, and I'd rather have that again. I know granola etc, but it didn't taste 238 calories good.

I know, it is so frustrating to not know when to expect boxes, even with the understanding we signed up for a bit of beta-ness!

My first arrived on a Saturday, 3 days after the contents were posted online.

My 2nd box contents were posted sometime last week, so I expected the 2nd box to maybe arrive Saturday again or Monday/Tuesday at the latest, but still didn't arrive today. So still MIA.

The only reason I'm disappointed though is because the snacks look sooo good this time!

I loved the lemon poppy seed square even if it was a few days past the best by date. I got the impression they were using a US distribution when I signed up. Obviously when I got my box I realized that doesn't seem to be the case. I'm ok with them backing off the new subscriber push. It will give them a chance to see how things go before it gets crazy. Plus if they make in house they may have limits. Can't wait for my second box!

I didn't think about rating things before trying them. I only went through and trashed the things I can't eat. I've been rating as I eat and leaving things set to "try." Not sure how this will effect what I get so I may change.

I signed up for the lightbox.  Last week I got: tutti frutti, banoffee pie, lemon and poppyseed cake, very nori-ish.  I really liked them all.  And I was surprised at the variety because they were all under 150 calories.  This week it looks like I'm getting: bonnie wee oatcakes with onion marmalade, toffee apple, hot cross yum, and pear tatin.  I'm excited!!
 

 

[nellswell]

This was my first box, which arrived last Monday:

http://www.graze.com/us/b/N2X07/

Verdict: I really liked (and "liked"!) the marvellous macaroon and scrumptious blueberry swirl! I'm not big on seeds but the omega booster seeds were alright; I left them as "try." The mumbai masala was alright, too, but I'm not interested in repeating it anyime soon (it doesn't seem to have the maybe-"health benefit" of the seeds) so I "trashed" it for now (I figure I can always change it back if I develop a sudden craving!).

I haven't received any other boxes yet but have two posted. This is "last week"'s box, which I'm really hoping arrives today:

http://www.graze.com/us/b/9O0NW/

These are all currently marked "try" except the jaffa cake is marked "like" (I'm a choco-holic!). I'm looking forward especially to that and to the lingonberries in the shangri-la! And that veggie sushi plate looks pretty darn good, as well!

As for next week's box (this week's box? my third one):

http://www.graze.com/us/b/ONFVJ/

Two "loves" (honeycomb crunch and this little figgy went to market), a "like" (yaki soba) and a "try" (pina colada). I CAN'T WAIT for this box!

I'm getting a little impatient waiting for Box #2 but am otherwise loving this sub so far and have no plans to cancel even after the 5th box, unless something goes majorly wrong... hopefully that won't be the case!
