In August 2023, in order to see us more clearly, a new functionality appeared in the application, which listed the best products by food category. Beauty products, cookies for snacks… These different ratings are available to users by subscribing to a premium subscription or by sharing the app with their contacts. Among the test benches that interest us today, we find the benches dedicated to aperitif cookies, a real guilty pleasure of our evenings with friends.
