After I get it, I’ll make a design, send them to the printers and a couple days later — OFF THEY GO ✈️ 📮🗼🔜📭
By the way, May’s postcard will ...

Midnight Cheese Melt!

It was around 1am and I decided to go live because I was hungry! lol
So -- this triple cheddar cream cheese is actually pretty good! Now, these unique foods are not here for long. I think this will be around for 3 months and then -- POOF! They'll have to think of another amazing cheese combo to keep Japanese customers engaged. DO you have any ideas for them?
