If you had 10 sticks, the last 5 would be cold enough to leave you with just crispy string cheese. They'd all be like that one stick left when everyone is too dainty to eat the last one. The stick that (once you do eat it) is so icky it replaces all of your recent melted cheese memories. I think 6 sticks is the maximum for hot sticks throughout your binge.

The load-baring capacity of your average barstool 2. The width of your typical bar's doorway. 3. The fact that mozzarella sticks' appeal is directly proportional to the level of intoxication. 3a. The fact that a person's ability to rationally assess value is inversely proporational to the level of intoxication. There's a sciency graph just waiting to happen in 3 and 3a...

Not that these cost so much more to make, but folks are willing to pay the high price. This makes for a great profit margin. And there you have it. Greedy money-grubbing Gremlins!!!!

Greatest problem in our world today is the Mozzarella Stick Gap (MSG). You mean, I can get a plate full of nachos with chips, sour cream, cheese, beef/chicken, jalapeños, olives, etc, but I can't get more than 5, maybe, 6 fried cheese sticks!! Someone has to be behind this sinister plot. You absolutely nailed it BS. Greatest problem in our world today is the Mozzarella Stick Gap (MSG).
