What's Buzz-worthy: Box 3 of my recent sealed tray pick-up (eight packs) is closer to average but did beat the odds with the variation -- one in 24 packs -- and then included a couple of decent names among the inserts. Without those? Rough box. Heck, even with those not a great one. Could it have been better? Yes. Could it have been worse? Definitely. For more thoughts here, check out my other breaks ... and look for five more breaks (though I may do some in pairs) coming here soon.
Product Grade: B+ (better design than last year -- just needs something more)
Box Grade: B (average or worse pack saved by the variation)
Fun Grade: B
