Maybe the company should rebrand as “YellowFresh,” or maybe “HelloFlush?”

    Instead of sending you a bunch of mint when the recipe needs 5 leaves, they send you 5 leaves. The idea is less waste.

    The 5 leaves are wrapped in plastic and cost more than a bunch, so you’re not “wasting” a bunch of mint you won’t use, but you’re wasting plastic and money.

    It’s for rich people with nothing to do.

    I tried a couple of these companies when they first came out and they had offers through my credit card that made it very cheap. The recipes were alright, but it was fun to cook them with the kids as they didn’t get bored with the prep work before we can actually cook, but they aren’t cheap and they aren’t less wasteful. I can eat left overs, I can’t eat the extra plastic.
