DONT CHEAT YOURSELF

Growing up on the South Side of Chicago, IL, I lived on the 9th floor of a brownstone high-rise on 45th and Drexel. On the 5th floor lived a woman who always had a variety of snacks that I couldn't resist—from pickles to chick-o-sticks. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself reflecting on my childhood, while also dealing with the hunger and uncertainty that many of us experienced. It was during this time of self-reflection and heightened need for comfort that the idea struck me: why not create a way to share those beloved childhood snacks with others?

Inspired by the desire to offer a moment of joy during difficult times, I began putting together snack boxes filled with favorites from the past.

 

What started as a simple idea to brighten someone's day has grown into a thriving business, where I now deliver hundreds of boxes with everyone's favorite snacks  to bring smiles to people’s faces—one box at a time.
