Are Dominos Loaded Tater Tots Keto-Friendly?
/Scrolling through my Twitter feed today, sipping a low-carb matcha latte, I saw #DominosLoadedTots trending.
The wise, healthy, entirely-committed-to-my-keto-diet part of me thought: "quick, close Twitter!"
The curious, not-so-smart, potato-and-cheese loving part of me countered: "click on it! You know, for educational purposes only."
I clicked. I drooled.
Then I checked the nutrition information and carb counts for Dominos Loaded Tots.
