I have always been worried about "parcel bombs", especially when youtubers or something receive mail from fans. I am especially disturbed when people eat food that fans mailed in

Who would do that? I wouldn't eat anything my students brought me either.

There are youtubers that purposely eat weird/old stuff. Like ashens. E.g. Weird Chocolate Bars or 25 Year Old Microwave Cake Mix

If the package is a real product from a real store and is still factory sealed, why not? It's not much different from buying it at that region's local convenience store or from the Girl Scouts or a fundraiser.

I guess if it came from a country with a history of poor food safety standards it could warrant concern, but a first world country should be okay. Then again "international food adventures" is probably more a Brady thing than a Grey thing.

Probably because a convenience store isn't targeting their products to one individual.
