For those wondering about the sampler value, after applying 6.5% sales tax, the 16-item sampler comes to $116.09, making each credential tab worth approximately $7.25. Here are some of the items I am planning on sampling with credential tabs:
Cocktails:
Brazil Frozen Caipirinha $10.50
China Ritzy Lychee $10.50
China Kung Fu Punch $8.75
China Happy Peach $8.75
France La Passion martini slush $10.75

Mexico Mezcal Pineapple Margarita $9.00

Morocco Mimosa Royale $8.00
Poland Frozen Szarlotka Apple Pie $9.50

South Korea Soju fruit Slushy $9.50
Food:
Canada Filet $7.75
Australia Grilled Lamb Chop $7.25
Hops & Barley Lobster Roll $7.75
I put question marks next to Hops and Barley as I am not sure if it's excluded - I would think it's a participating location, but last year Block & Hans, Desserts & Champagne, and some other "non-country" booths were not included in the sampler entitlements. This isn't a complete list of the items over $7.25 but I hope it is useful to some folks. As you can see, the maximum value would be to get 16 French Passion Slushes... And that is not out of the question for me over my 5 day visit...
