It is thrilling to receive one or two but with big families, these are a cause of squabbles. I know of one family who had a misunderstanding because of that one container of iced tea, hehehe…Bakit naman kasi isa lang ipinadala eh 4 yung pamilyadong anak na nandito

Also,some families prefer to get these rather than get money.It must be the smell

Just like Cookie, everytime we open a balikbayan box, ang bango talaga, amoy States sabi ng mga kids ko. With hubby’s five siblings based in Florida, we received at least 2-3 boxes a year. Siempre ako happy with designer bags and perfume.:-)
