Crisis: Eggo waffle shortage until 2010!

[ScottFern]

Good, they were nasty, stale, and freezer burnt the last couple boxes I bought. I say good riddance!!

I have looked up waffle recipes lately and I am going to the waffle maker this Saturday!

 

[QueBert]

Here's a thought...make your own waffles?

Even better, go to the Original Pancake House and get their Waffles with bits of bacon in them. Sure I could make them at home, but unlike everyone else on ATOT who's a world class chef. I cannot make waffles as good as they do there.

QFT!

BTW-I didn't realize they recently opened one in Vista, CA. I know where I'm going for breakfast with my wife and kid this weekend!

 

[Miramonti]

Any truth to the rumor that this eerily coincides with a lead paint shortage in China?

And they have a Famous Daves BBQ, oh and the Casino is right there for Poker action too. I could spend a weekend there easy lol.

Leggo my Eggo or I will cut you.

LOL. This is a crisis of epic proportions. How will the countries youth get their morning dose of nutritional sugar.

 

[PricklyPete]

Yup, Listeria

Nasty shit.

Ugh...say no to manufactured food...

 

[SunSamurai]

The issue wasn't the cost, it was the shelf life. Shelters/food donation places (churches, county run stuff, etc) would give us a lot of canned and frozen goods - including eggos in huge bags, like 10+ waffles in each bag.


Edit:

Also, there were other weird things I ended up eating. Another good example is raw frozen pie crusts that I would thaw out and crisp in the toaster oven. Cheaper than bread? No. Available? Yes.

Bullshit. Bread lasts for weeks in the freezer. You were poor because you were stupid it seems.

 

[marvdmartian]

You got the money? I got the Eggos!!! :sneaky:

 

[TheVrolok]

Oh noes.

 

[ultimatebob]

I see flashbacks of Katrina, except replace plasma TV's with boxes of Eggos.

Don't worry... Kanye West will speak for us all! Obama doesn't care for waffle eaters!

 

[Jeff7]

I always knew having a waffle iron would pay off.


Waffles available. $200/lb. PM me for delicious, golden, butter-soaked details.

D:

Eggos, dare I say, are more delicious than some of the shit do-it-yourself-at-home waffles I've been force-fed. Gahhhhhh...this is so sad

 

[JM Aggie08]

I demand this be stickied until the issue is resolved.

 

[FoBoT]

can't we just buy a competitors product

is there a store brand? who else makes them?

Store brand cannot even compare to Eggos.

not really waffle related, but there is a deli in Carlsbad right off palomar airport road called Tip Top Meats. They serve this breakfast that is 3 eggs, hashbrowns, two pieces of toast, and then an all you can eat selection of bacon, ham, brats, link sausage, and polish sausage. Yup.. all you can eat meat (but nothing else). It's decent food... and oh yea, it's 6.95.

 

[Kanalua]

Yes! I was just checking out my freezer yesterday and thought...why do I have so many Eggo waffles in here (we had bought a Costco sized box of them a month ago, and still have about 3/4 of teh box left)...

While the rest of the world shouts out for lack of eggo products...somewhere in Hawaii I have tons all to myself!!!

 

[TwiceOver]

Umm... For the last few months one of the local stores has had a sign on their eggo case stating "Due to quality issues..."

And that sucks because my only two other choices are Aunt Jemima (sucky small waffles) or Knock-Off (soggy as fuck waffles).

 

[JoPh]

we are coming out with a private label waffles now to fill the void that eggo has left.

another manufactur is Vans Waffles but now they are facing shortages becuase they can not keep up with the new demand from the eggo void.

I've been there. Not for breakfast though.

It amazes me that so many people are too fucking lazy to cook for themselves so they buy all this pre-processed frozen shit.

 

[Demo24]

I didn't realize some of them were made in Atlanta. Interesting.


As for the 'make your own crowd' yeah no shit. You can make anything you buy at the store. However there's no way in hell I'm doing any sort of cooking in the morning besides heating something up.

 

[Colt45]

I thought only children eat that shit. You learn something new every day, I guess.

Breakfast isn't bad. I think they stop serving it at noon.
