Visited: Sept 19th, 2021

Initial impressions

Price: £6.50

Contents

  • Cheese and tomato sandwich

  • Apple juice: This is better than all the other apple juices because it is fresh (note: the expiration date was actually longer than other juices we have bought)

  • Fruit salad: It had a bit too much pineapple, but it was nice

What’s inside the box

Overall: The best one we have had so far
