If you're anything same my boyfriend, then you practically leech Ranch intermixture. The man has an subnormal preoccupation with Farm, and turns ill when it's mentioned. Equal goes for cheez-its, tho' I feature to say that I portion that kinship.

The tip is, these are balls of sliced yellow with elite cheese, cheddar mallow, taco seasoning, farm grooming, cheez-its, and butter. There's real cypher else to say virtually them. They're manifestly toothsome.
