February 2018 box: Snakku vs Tokyo treat

Comparing the february (valentine / love theme) boxes

Size: Tokyo treat box is bigger
Delivery time: Snakku box takes about 2 weeks from shipping day while Tokyo Treat box takes from 3 weeks to more than a month.
Weight: Both feels equally heavy. 
Price: 39$ for Snakku and 35$ for Tokyo treat

 Packaging and first impression: Snakku is nicely wrapped, feels like opening something precious. Tokyo Treat box is more practical in it's packaging: stuff in as much snacks as possible.

Contents: This is the most important. Snakku is mixed with genuine tasty traditional snacks that is not too sweet (even for the valentine theme) and some more modern typical Japanese flavor snacks. Tokyo treat's valentine theme box was to 90% filled with snacks in strawberry and chocolate flavor and far too sweet.

(I borrowed this tokyo treat picture from the internet since tokyo treat boxes are 1 month ahead of the actual month, i.e. this February box was sent out in begining of January and I received it in the middle of February so I've already been munching down most of it)

Summary
Pro: Snakku has items with traditional flavor and high quality tasty snacks. Fast delivery.
Con: Snakku has fewer items in the box and it has a high price tag.

Pro: Tokyo treat has more items and include a drink in each box.
Con: Tokyo treat has more common items, flavors too close to the snacks you find in the westen world. In this February box, there's a share pack, 5 little bags of gummy in coke flavor. Exactly the same as in the shops over here.

With Snakku, you get what you pay for. If I could afford it I would buy 2 box per month because after finishing one, it leaves you wanting more.

With Tokyo treat, it's hit or miss. Sometimes the box has got gems. I still longing for the Melon jelly soda drink they had in an earlier box. They are good at building up expectations in social media so it's more the exitement and surprise factor, guessing what's going to be in the box.
