In the film "Forrest Gump", Forrest Gump's mother said to him: Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what the next piece will taste like.
Excitement, excitement, and a little uneasiness, the beauty of the unknown is sometimes far more appealing than a sense of down-to-earth control.
If every month a mysterious box appears on your doorstep on time, you can never guess what will appear in the box, but the contents of the box often call you happy, this will not let the ordinary days a little more look forward to?
Adults' sense of security comes from a sense of control, as big as work love, as small as lunch to eat something, the right to each choice tightly in hand, let us feel at peace.
But sometimes, such a succession of choices also make people feel tight, and occasionally want to take this decision out. I wish life had an omakase package, as long as you said Surprise me to the chef! You can enjoy it.
But now, the idea is likely to come true.
There are such strange boxes that decide to take over your life (a small part of it), they decide what you eat, some decide what you wear, some decide what spiritual nourishment you absorb...
These mysterious boxes appear regularly, and the excitement and uneasiness before unpacing them is an experience that ordinary shopping cannot replicate. Every big surprise when you open a box makes you think: Hey? Seems like it's good to have someone else make decisions for themselves occasionally?

To borrow a sentence from Samuel Jackson,"Our brightest fire of joy is often ignited by the most unexpected sparks."
Occasionally, the option is given over to a reliable subscription box, setting up some surprises for the oligarchy of everyday life, and there may be unexpected gains.
Subscription boxes have also become an increasingly sophisticated business model - Bella McFadden's iGirl Bundle has earned her more than a million pounds, making it a case of commercial media research, and Misfits Market, which rescues ugly fruits and vegetables, has completed an $85m round of B financing.
It is anticipated that in the future there will be all sorts of magical boxes poping up, ready to take over other aspects of our lives.
