Video of the Week
I’ve been reminiscing about Wendy’s SuperBar more than usual this week, so I got on YouTube and started searching it out. That’s how I came across this great news report about the SuperBar being tested before it launched nationally. It’s short, but it’s filled with nostalgia. Give it a watch and see if you’re mouth starts watering as mine did.
Thanks for the online version of an activity book, it is appreciated.
Haven’t had anyone refer to these posts as an “activity book” before, but I guess that’s a good way to look at it. Thanks.
