Yeah, that was one of my questions about the original post. Where do the
ingredients come from? Does the franchisee have to buy them from a specific
place? How would one know about the ingredients they are given to use to
serve? Huh, no answer. The OP disappeared when questioned in depth.
Obviously a troll or someone who is going to lose their money big time on
this crap of an idea
