From The Club
April may have only started, but it has already brought us a month of new releases. Not that I’m complaining, tho! I would love to try out Jack in the Box’s Nashville Hot Popcorn Chicken along with the Nashville Hot Mozzarella Sticks. It’s actually my first time learning about flavored mozza sticks since I always knew them to be fried, golden brown appetizers. Also, better save me some Pop-Tarts Strawberry Frosty Fusion from Wendy’s, as I’ll make sure to leave room for dessert.
