Both celebrities have openly expressed their appreciation for this childhood favorite snack.
Platt recently wrapped up his Honeymind tour, where he performed across the country and sang songs from his album of the same name.

When asked about his favorite song to play live, Platt mentioned “All American Queen” from his album as a joyful and celebratory track.
