Candy From Japan
When you are in a foreign culture, even simple things can be very interesting. Even grocery shopping.
Candy Japan run by an Finish expat in Japan that is a subscription service where for a monthly fee you get a surprise envelope filled with random Japanese candy every two weeks.
How It Works
Every two weeks they’ll select some surprise candy and mail it to you directly from Japan. You will get to try all sorts of things only available in Japan. There will be some very cute packaging and some new delicious tastes, too.
What It Costs
USD $23.95 or EUR 16.50€ / month for two monthly envelopes. Shipping is included.

Netflix has had quite the influence on the way business is done. I wouldn’t pay that much for any candy, but I could see someone with a super sweet tooth and an interest in things that are different paying the monthly fee. It would be even more interesting if someone made a service like this with candy from multiple countries. It’s a great way to discover the tastes people have in the different regions.

I’m sure that this model could work for candy and other consumables from all over the world.

Thanks for mentioning my site. I am running this service as an experiment to see if there is interest for a service such as this. Currently I am at 50 subscribers after being open for business for about two weeks. The next shipment is going out on July 28th.
@Angela I agree with you on the cost. Most of it is going to shipping and handling, since I am sending directly from Japan.
