Have you gotten the proper dose of refined flour and starch in your diet today? If not, allow recently-opened Rice Cream Shoppe to drive your blood sugar levels through the roof with a Rice Pudding Pocket.
Yes, a sandwich essentially composed of carbohydrates and sugar is now on the menu. A fluffy brioche bun gets cut in half and stuffed with a scoop of one of ye olde shoppe's flavours of rice pudding, then the pudding is topped with some crunch element (Italian lemon cookies, chocolate crisp, etc.) and it all comes together like a sandwich. One pocket'll cost you back $4.50 and a lifetime's worth of insulin shots.
Be the carb bomb you want to see in the world.
