On a completely unrelated note, we’re pleased to announce we’ll now be selling a new Kit Kat pizza.”<\/p>\n Charlotte FC<\/a>, a Major League Soccer team in North Carolina, made a similar joke: “On an unrelated note, we are happy to share we will be offering roughly 413,000 KitKats at this Saturday’s match against Philadelphia at Bank of America stadium.”<\/p>\n Of all of the side hustles country artists could partake in, opening a bar or restaurant is the most fitting \u2014 and very common.
