Have you heard the news? Mini mozzarella sticks are back at Friendly's and I'm excited.

Back by popular demand, the appetizer has returned to the menu with an unheard-of serving size. With a whopping 30 mini sticks to a serving and 20 for a kid's plate, these cheesy sensations are most certainly made for sharing.

However, those who know me know that I'm always down for a tasty challenge, so I put my stomach and chewing skills to the test. The goal was 30 mini mozzarella sticks in 60 seconds and the pressure was on.

If you recall, back in 2023, Fun 107 morning host Michael Rock bet me a free day off if I could eat an entire mac and cheese and hot dogs kids meal in under a minute. It's safe to say that it was a nail-biter finish, but I got the job done.

As for these mini mozzarella sticks, on the other hand, I struggled a lot more than anticipated. One by one, the cheesy goodness filled my mouth, making it very difficult to chew quickly. My jaw was on fire and my stomach was filling up fast. The final 10-second countdown came and I knew I had to stuff my mouth or call it quits.

I went all in.

Finishing with 20 mozzarella sticks out of 30 was a difficult feat, but I refuse to feel defeated. I do not condone this type of tomfoolery and was surrounded by a couple of CPR-certified individuals.

The moral of this story is "sharing is caring" and with mini mozzarella sticks back on the menu and stronger than ever, friends of Friendly's can enjoy a shareable app without the stress of a time limit.
