I do not want to live in a world where people "tweet" about the great eggo shortage of 2009, like it was a weeklong blizzard and people actually died.

No frozen waffles?

I don't think I ever had an Eggo in my life, but now that there's a shortage, I am having a strange (mob mentality) craving.

I don't think I ever had an Eggo before either, but as long as I can get Aunt Jemima original pancake mix, I see no problem.

Leggo my E ggo
Set it free
Don't break up
Our fam il y

Is it just a shortage on regular eggos, or does that include blueberry eggos ?

I'll put a call into Kellogg and ask them. My guess is that they are all from the same Eggo factory.

Oh the humanity of it all!

You know, you can make your own damn waffles, don't you?

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Thu Nov 19, 2009 10:56 am

You can even buy other brands of toaster waffles.

Edited to Add: You're a "burner" you're "supposed" to be able to take these things in stride and find a solution, but then decided it was stupid and naive to say that.

The only difference is the price!
Just so we're clear, this was supposed to be an observation on the absurdity of what passes for "news" in this country, I don't actually care about Eggo Waffles. I'm more of a french toast man.

Egos are overrated and are only doing this in their own self interest.

It's like Slim Jims. When they blew up the factory, there was a huge shortage and then the damand went crazy. Like Beany Babies, Tamagachis and Furbys.
This will be know as "The Great Eggo Shortage of 2009", and will go down in history! Mark my words people!

The feeling of a separate "I", which we call eggo-consciousness, is directly related to the strength of ignorance, greed, and hatred. The deepest meaning of ignorance is the believing in, identifying with and clinging to the eggo, which as we have seen, is nothing but an illusive mental phenomenon. But because of this strong clinging to eggo-consciousness, attachment/desire, anger/hatred arise and repeatedly gain strength.

Do not cling to your eggo. Release your eggo, and be free my friends.

Why the hell are these frozen things called Eggos anyway? Shouldn't they be called Waffle-o's? I'm just wondering!

The French Toast Man -- Fred Lane

Oh -- The French Toast Man
The French Toast Man
He rides around the corner
Takes a turn around the block
He's got a lot of french toast in the back
He's got it wrapped up in a sock.

He's timing the engine of his truck
He's got a lot of french toast in the back
The kids come around and ask him if they
Can have a delicious slice of french toast.

"Sure you can! Here it is!"
He says as he hands it out to all the boys and girls
And they scream with delight as they run home
And show it to their parents.

Then mom takes the french toast from the kids
To examine it more closely
It has green mould growing right out of the crust
And it smells like something awful.

So she throws it into the garbage can
A rat comes along and eats it up
And falls right over, dead.

And his stomach bursts open
And his liver pops out
Everyone stands around with their hands on their mouths
They really are disgusted.

Then -- The French Toast man comes right around the block
And puts it in his french toast sock.

Oh -- The French Toast Man
He's on his way
He's got a slop-bowl too.
So evacuate your bowels and have a hot lunch
And don't be late for school
And don't be late for school
And don't be late for school!

I think the best way to eat Eggos is with a 50/50 mix of Mrs. Butterworths and Kahlua on them.

Oh yes... you can mix Kahlua into your maple syrup... it's awesome...

Van's belgian waffles.
Add strawberries and whipped cream.
Eat them with/off someone you like.
