Mixed Feelings on the Mystery Box – Great Products, But It Could Be Better

I bought the £59.99 mystery box, which is advertised as having £99+ worth of products. I may have misunderstood how that value is calculated, but after pricing the items individually on the website it seemed much closer to around a £10 saving.

It looks like the £99+ value is probably based on full RRP pricing, whereas many of the products appear to be sold at discounted prices on the site most of the time. Because of that, the mystery box didn’t really feel like a huge bargain compared to simply choosing the items yourself.

What was in the box:
• 3 × 1kg bags of pork scratchings (Curry, BBQ, Salt & Vinegar)
• A bag of blue sour fizzy sweets (these were absolutely banging)
• An assortment of other sweets
• Vegan wine gums, which tasted really good
• Two cookies

Negatives first:

The cookies contain palm oil, which personally put me off. For a smaller brand trying to build something unique, it might be worth reconsidering that ingredient.

The shelf life on some items was also fairly short — around a month, which is worth knowing when you’re receiving larger quantities like 1kg bags.

The biggest downside for me though was the lack of variety. Looking at the website, Cool Hog seems to have a really interesting range of flavours and products, which is exactly why I bought the mystery box in the first place — I wanted to try a variety of the range. Instead, I ended up with three large bags of pork scratchings in different flavours, which are great, but it didn’t really feel like I was discovering much of what they offer.

Because of that, I’d personally rather spend the £60 choosing exactly what I want rather than receiving items I wouldn’t normally buy.

Now the positives:

The pork scratchings are absolutely top tier. Proper Black Country style scratchings and genuinely some of the best I’ve had. I’ve only finished the curry flavour so far (it had the shortest shelf life), and the flavour works unbelievably well.

Even after opening the bag, they didn’t go stale, which impressed me given the size of the bags.

The blue sour sweets were also fantastic and actually a great addition to the box. It’s something I probably wouldn’t have bought myself, but after trying them I’d happily buy them again — so that part of the mystery box idea definitely worked.

Overall:

To be clear, the issue isn’t the quality — the products themselves are excellent — it’s just the format of the mystery box.

I’d definitely buy from Cool Hog again, especially the pork scratchings and those blue fizzy sweets.

However, I probably wouldn’t buy the mystery box again. I think it would work much better if it included smaller portions and a wider variety of flavours, so it actually feels like you’re discovering more of the range rather than just receiving large quantities of a few products.

If the mystery box ever changed to smaller bags with more variety, I’d definitely consider giving it another go.

I’ve been looking for a pork scratchings for awhile now and nobody sells a decent one so so I thought I will try cool hog
So I have just bought two original tubs and I can say they’re the best pork scratching I have ever had and I would definitely buy again

So easy from start to finish of the ordering to the delivery
. The pork scratchings are delicious. We all love them.

You are dreadful people, I can’t stop eating them, delicious.

After hearing the hype of this store, I set out to locate it. After finding it (quite obvious 🤦🏻‍♂️) the store was well presented with friendly and attentive staff. I made a bulk purchase as a gift. Staff couldn’t do enough to help. I highly recommend giving these guys a visit. Such a unique business. Well done guys

Awesome as always, perfect crunch, taste.
Black pepper was great.
Great delivery time, sorted!!

Delicious pork scratchings, can’t fault them at all. Delivery is excellent. Can’t recommend Cool Hog enough.

first ever experience was a very long wait.

however, ive now ordered 3 other times, and each time they've delivered promptly, and remembered all my items.

great tasting pork scratchings, great tasting sweets, and lovely cookies! hoping they stock their fudge soon!

but yeah, reliable service, great tasting produce, prompt delivery.

i see you have ironed out the creases from before. GG i will continue to be a returning customer

Very nice and can't wait to get more

Simply the best, texturally superb, and seasoning spot on.
The only problem is they don’t last long enough!

Great flavour good prices, delivery is a little slow

After buying 1 large pot of Cool Hog orginal scratchings.....I've now and brought myself 2 Large pots......if there's one word I would use to describe these treats.....Then MOREISH is the word 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Some of the best most consistent pork scratching I've had and fantastic value for money with some good flavours

I’m so glad I gave cool hog another go delivery was quick and I got the 3x flavour on each.
Look forward until the next time if my lips survive the 3x salt and vinegar flavour.

Outstanding customer service from the team at cool hog! Can't get enough of the Maple Syrup flavour! Such good quality always! The only downside is that I'll probably end up looking like a pork scratching before long!
Buy with confidence, a delicious savoury treat. Don't take my word for it, test them out for yourselves, lots of flavours to try...! I Highly recommended them.… I think you will too

10 taster pack was the best way for me to try them all
