Parmesan Crusted Papadia
Papa John's has a new Parmesan Crusted Papadia. I've never tried the Papadias, and in fact, I don't really know what it is supposed to be.

Turns out it was actually kind of great. The sweetness of the soft serve vanilla ice cream mixed with the crunchy tartness of the Nerds candy was a…
