Following

Spring is a time to finally head outside and enjoy the warmer weather. It’s also a time to picnic with friends and family. Fortunately, social media users are quite vocal about their favorite offerings. These meal kits, snacks, and foodies accessories are all favorites on Instagram and other apps.

1. 17th Street Barbecue’s Chicken Wings

Raving fans seem to love these BBQ wings, which includes a pack of 48 pieces including drummies and flats. They are slow-cooked to perfection and then sent for you to grill and cook. Social media fans note how the sauce is quite unique.

2. Sumo Citrus

No spring picnic would be quite right unless you had some healthy products to serve. These mandarins are unique in how they have a zingy taste (not quite an orange but in the same league) and are easy to peel and eat.

3. Big Picture Foods Green Amfissa Olives

Another accent food for a spring picnic, these green olives have a distinct taste and come packaged in “the mother brine” to keep the taste as authentic as possible. I noticed the comments on social posts are all positive.

4. Chip City Cookies

It’s rare to find a company that can ship out a box of oysters and do it so quickly. This pack includes 36 of them along with the instructions and a jar of Chipotle Bourbon Butter. I love the social posts explaining how to cook them.
