Power-packed Honey Buns
During this period, packages of Mrs. Freshley's single-serve Chocolate Cupcakes, Grand Iced Honey Buns, and Original Jumbo Honey Buns will feature FINAL FANTASY XIV: Stormblood graphics with unique markers that activate an interactive, augmented reality display using the Blippar smartphone application.
