Back in 2021 when I was studying in the UK, I bought leftover blind boxes from an app called Too Good To Go. Each box cost about 3 to 5 pounds (27 to 45 yuan), and there were usually three to four things inside. For example, a box I bought from the coffee shop Costa had three kinds of bread and one cake. .
