Snackbox travel at home
Try The World is being promoted as a monthly gourmet snack subscription that ships curated tastes from a new country each month—an easy, low‑commitment way to ‘travel’ through food at home. (x.com) Short travel clips are reinforcing the point: a Pakistan street‑food video highlights hand‑picked strawberries, cumin biscuits and raw sugar‑cane ‘gur’ as standout, low‑cost travel eats.

Try The World was founded in 2013 by Kat Vorotova and David Foult, who developed the company out of Columbia University programs and grew it into a New York–area gourmet subscription business. (entrepreneurship.columbia.edu) The brand currently offers distinct product lines: a full “Countries” box, a smaller “Snacks” subscription, plus pantry and single-item retail options, with curation credited to cuisine experts and guest chefs. (trytheworld.zendesk.com) Published pricing varies by box and term—review sites list snack-only plans starting around $19–$25 per month and signature or country boxes in the roughly $39–$75 range for single-month purchases, with lower per‑box prices available for prepaid multi‑month plans. (subscriptionboxexpert.com) Shipping is primarily U.S. and Canada-focused: Try The World states it ships within the United States and Canada, and its policy flags extra shipping fees or surcharges for addresses outside the 48 contiguous U.S. states (Alaska, Hawaii and U.S. territories incur additional charges). (trytheworld.zendesk.com) The company is promoting boxes with short-form video and unboxing content across social platforms, maintaining an official TikTok account and a YouTube channel that host country-specific clips and product reveals. (tiktok.com) Try The World and reviewers regularly reference sourcing from dozens of countries—unboxing creators often cite “35+” origins—and the brand emphasizes sourcing from small artisan producers and local suppliers when assembling boxes.
