This video was filmed & edited prior to Cooking Panda announcing that this would be their last box, so you are no longer able to subscribe. If you are an annual subscriber like myself you will need to email hello@cookingpanda.com requesting a refund by June 1, 2025 in order to get refunded.
I'm not surprised Cooking Panda didn't make it. The writing was on the wall when a large portion of the box started to become water additives and protein shake mixes. That's not cooking and I'm sure those items were received free from the manufacturers as promotional items. Toss ONE in a box as an extra sample...they never should have been a main component of the box. I'd also expect a specialty food subscription box to contain items not found at major grocery store chains. My guess is that the company was just buying items on clearance or with coupons at their local Walmart. Cooking Panda was a good idea, but I think with the current economy, a lot of people aren't willing to take the risk spending money on food they might not like. I love a surprise, but I've had to cancel all of my subscription boxes except Wildgrain, which I only get a few times per year. It's a keeper because I'm able to choose every single item in the box.
The expiration date on the can: you can use it beyond that date. The can is hermetically sealed and was heat treated. Also, when companies run shelf life tests, they always test for longer. I believe some countries have mandatory rules for max storage life for canned products, so it is not based on spoilage. Use it for fall :) - Regards from a food scientist
I just got 2 bottles of the torani syrup yesterday. Blue raspberry and strawberry for flavored lemonade this summer. My bottles look a little bigger and are glass bottles but other wise look the same.
I was so bummed when I got the mail that they were stopping. I wish I could find something similar. I didn't get the juicer but I wouldn't have used it anyway.
Not exactly similar but I LOVE Wildgrain. They've expanded their offerings to a bit more than just bread and pasta. Their boxes are completely customizable. You can substitute literally every single item they've curated for that month's box for something else and you can skip whenever you want to. I only get about 3 or 4 boxes a year. In my next box I'm getting all bread and some imported French butter 😊.
I like the Vanilla sugar free syrup, I didn't care for the french vanilla, just the vanilla is what I seem to like most. I will sometimes add it to water, tea, and even my vanilla unsweetened almond milk (which is really good since the milk already has a light vanilla taste).
You can also add your pumpkin pie stuff in oatmeal. I learned that when i made something with some canned pumpkin and I added vanilla and pie seasoning in it it was really good. This way you don't have to add the other stuff in it.
This sub was a joke. I subscribed and had nothing but problems starting with the first box and CP sending expired items. Then, they conveniently “forgot” to send my next box. I only knew of it being shipped because I saw Katrina’s unboxing. When I contacted them to ship it, they said they ran out! Huh? You ran out? SMH. They refunded my 2 remaining boxes thankfully.

Exactly most of these are probably promotional items you are right

This was my last box of my 1st annual subscription. I have loved this box so much. 😢

@@patriciaflaherty I also get Wildgrain.
I like those Waterdrops!
My favorite item was the bubble tea drink it sounds good.
The freeze dried strawberries can be purchased at Dollar Tree. I wonder if other products are too.
Shame I never got to try this box when it was at its best
Make pumpkin muffins they are fantastic with cream cheese frosting

Hi ladies! I'm sad this is the last box...I was going to sign up...
It is a fun box. Enjoy. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
I make my coffee every morning with some almond milk and sugar free torani syrup!! So delicious!!
You can also add your pumpkin pie stuff in oatmeal. I learned that when i made something with some canned pumpkin and I added vanilla and pie seasoning in it it was really good. This way you don't have to add the other stuff in it.
Sisters time 🧡
Yum pumpkin bread!
The lollipop are really good. You really need to try them 😊
I love it better when you guys do a video together ❤
Canned food lasts for years not months
Cooking Panda is such a fun idea for a subscription box! However, I wish they had a "healthy" option, and a "delicious" option 😂
I agree. Why so much sugar free ?! Yuck
I love Yondu. I get it in a big bottle from Amazon. I use it in everything!
Oh no I did not know this was the last one. I am so sad.
Since the pumpkin expires so soon make pumpkin bread and freeze it till the actual time to eat it.
I don't like the taste of Stevia either...
