Red Pawpaw - September 2014

Just a quick unboxing of this month’s Red Pawpaw box and my brief thoughts on everything. I subscribe to this box because I really like being able to try things I might not have seen before or never noticed, handy to get products I already use or brands I know I like as well.

 

Wholeberry Folk Cinnamon Raisin Cookies 300g

Would’ve preferred the cupcakes but still happy enough to try these and had never seen the brand before they arrived in the box.
 

Finish Lemon Sparkle Power Foaming Gel 400ml

Not my first choice but can’t really go wrong with dishwashing liquid.
 

Air Wick Rare Scents Snowy Mountain Berries Candle

Really lovely scent until it’s burnt about halfway down. Now it is headache inducing.

Millicano Wholebean Instant Carte Noire Coffee 100g

Not an instant coffee drinker but definitely handy to have in the house!

Cottee’s 45% Less Sugar Fruit Crush Drinks 250ml x 2ea

Tropical and Apple Raspberry flavours received, didn’t personally enjoy them but had no problems giving them to my son who was over the moon.

Dolmio Italian Meal Base Spaghetti Bolognese

Did not make this as per the instructions (I like lots of vegetables in my dinners) but very delicious all the same.

Maille Dijon Originale Mustard 25g

Already use this brand in the wholegrain mustard so the Dijon was welcome and how cute was the mini jar.

Sour Patch Kids 65g

I don’t like these lollies….. I get the idea but I just don’t enjoy these and my son thinks they taste “funny” I asked what was funny but he said he didn’t know they were just “funny”.

Vetta High Fibre Spaghetti 500g

Had this with the Dolmio mix, didn’t taste any different to regular pasta so we were happy.

 

Biozet Attack Rapid Laundry Detergent 19ml x 3ea

Very handy size for travel. I prefer Omo to Biozet purely because I buy laundry pods (snob that I am) but if Biozet ever had a capsule I could be persuaded to try them.

Glad Bake Cooking Paper 5m
Very handy! And on my shopping list already. Lucky break on that one!

Overall

Pretty happy with this box overall. ALTHOUGH if you are going to put cleaning products in the same box with food they really need to be separated in some way or even in a zippy bag. Chemicals and food is a dangerous mix and spillages are sure to occur at some point?

 

I know that a lot of complaints have been made over charge costs with this company previously but I have been happy with them so far and have been lucky enough to not have any damaged products arrive. Now I’ve jinxed myself.

Do you get Red Pawpaw? Is a standard style grocery line box of interest to you? Perhaps you’ve been one of the unlucky ones with damaged products? Let me know!
