    My International Greek Snack Box


    Hello from Wales

    I bought this snack box for £12/€14

    Are the snacks actually something you’d find in Greece?

    Did I get ripped off?

    Why is that strawberry croissant so intimidating?

    What are your thoughts?

      The price is quite reasonable as most items are around the 1 euro mark give or take.

      As for the items, some are classics like Caprice and oregano chips. Most are quite popular. Overall a good mix.

      The folie strawberry croissant is the only outlier (ok also maybe the jumbo cuba stuff). The rest are in continuous use since 30year ago, i remember buying some of these in my elementary school days.

      Overall i would think you payed their market value and they are representative of a youth’s junk food choices when going to the “periptero” of its area

      It’s an absolute crime that the almond ION is so small, this is like our national chocolate. Other than that, yes you’d find pretty much all of this all in any supermarket. The only things missing are Lacta chocolate (I personally prefer it over ION) and Molto croissant.

      Lemonopitaki is meh, also so much calories for that thing! Overall pretty good box, try the caprice! The price is actually really good though!

      Absolutely! Not too many “traditional” snacks but all of these are readily found everywhere in Greece! Pretty decent price for them too! Caprice and the Pavlidis wafers are personal favourites.

      That croissant ain’t strawberry.

      That croissant is red velvet flavoured and is one of my favorites!!!

      All of these are legit snacks Greeks buy though the strawberry croissant is kind of an outliar. Ion chocolate is a little bit small and the cuba chips are not the most popular (but the brand Jumbo does make a lot of other snacks too). For 14 euros it is definitely worth it imo. I really want to hear your opinion on the Pavlidis wafer (the blue snack with dark chocolate)

      I suggest bake rolls (classic or pizza) truly magnificent product. Great choices nevertheless!!!

      Milka Lila Pause is 100% German.

      The rest of it is Greek and some of it is very old Greek (40+ years old already).

      That’s a great mix you got over there for a good price. You absolutely didn’t get scammed.
      The only one I am not too familiar with is the croissant but it’s not like it’s not sold here, it is definitely common just less of a “classic”.

      In terms of price you did not get ripped off. But while there are some bangers in there a lot of them are pretty meh. There were definitely better options to put in their place. It’s also a real shame you only got a stick of almond chocolate and not a bar, because I consider that brand the best widely available chocolate out there. Every other brand I’ve tried is either too sweet or too bitter, this one is juuuust right.

    16. mechanicarts on

      Yes, all have been relevant snacks in pop culture for years.

      I would make some substitutions – remove the Cuba, lemonopitaki, 7days cake and watermelon gummies and add kritsinia, noisetta chocolates, bake rolls and kinder egg surprise.

    20. Fatality_Ensues on

      No, those are definitely greek snacks, which is to say, domestically made imitations of overseas products (fizzy drinks, chips, crackers, etc).

      I will say some of them are really legit though. Especially Caprice and the Papadopoulou chocolate cookies.

      Dunno what that 7Days is doing there though, that brand is iirc French.

    22. ChaosBringer7 on

      Great pics. I’d only change the Chipita chips with another brand, maybe ruffles or tsakiris, same flavour. It’s also worth trying ohonos chips. Overall definitely not a scam, most if not all of these are popular in Greece

    23. ArjixGamer on

      That’s a velvet croissant, not strawberry

      But yeah, all of these are common here

    24. 2002alexandros on

      Lmao the fruit candy is exactly what the doctor used to give you as a kid after you were done

    26. VaroufakisStinkyWig on

      The 7days at the bottom right is overrated af.

      Derby (top right) is pretty good though.

    27. ArjixGamer on

      It’s a crime that they gave you a loux and it wasn’t the lemonade, but cherry

    30. vasileios13 on

      The only ones that I don’t recognize as something that you typically find are the “Gum On!” and the “Cuba Honakia”. Pasteli (the yellow one left of the Lila Pause) is something most people don’t eat regularly, but it’s very traditional. Lemonopitaki (lemon pie) is also something of a weird choice given that most would eat apple pie (I’ve never seen lemon pie before tbh). The rest are very popular indeed.

    32. damoklis on

      The caprice is criminally small. There’s only one correct size and that’s the half kilo one. Pro tip: put them in the freezer.

    34. Pantelonia on

      Loux sour cherry is fantastic. My mother in law drank the last 2 bottles I could find in Australia. 3 years later I still can’t find it being sold anywhere.
