What makes a subscription box stand out? Paper knives? Grape chocolate? Beef consume flavored chips? Check.
Since we reviewed Haribo's delicious black currant flavored sour "belt" type candy last time, let's stick with the black currant theme and roll on with these: "Keystered" in the country by a mule hired discreetly by my pal Johnny M, these things are more or less...
