    Why is there a shortage of Eggo waffles?
    What if Humans are just Dire Halflings?

    There was a flood in one of their plants last month.

    Stephen Colbert did a bit on it last week (Wednesday, I think). Twas funny.

        As I've said on Facebook, I see this as a good thing. People might try good frozen waffles (like Kashi Go Lean's Honey Oat!) and recognize Eggo for the nasty crap that it is!!

          I hid all the Eggos in my freezer.

          Seriously though, I heard about the shortage a couple of days ago on one of the local morning news shows . . . because of the flooding damage at the Atlanta facility, the shortage will continue until probably the summer of 2010.

          In the meantime, that gives us ample time to try other brands to see which ones we like and which ones we don't.

          Which reminds me . . . I've got 2 boxes of the WM brand in the freezer that haven't been opened yet. I'll probably try a couple of those in the morning.

            I am not a fan of the walmarts, but their blueberry waffles are amazing. I however, live off of eggo waffles and am heartbroken by this news. And apparently there were TWO factories shut down, the one that flooded and the other need major repairs. There are a total of 4 eggo factories, and now only 2 in operation.

                and I was going to buy some this week, strawberry, blueberry, and banana.

                They may not be the good ones but they are the cheapest!

                    Why eat frozen when homemade ones are so good? (If you tried mine, you'd agree.)

                      Two reasons:

                      1. Lack of a waffle iron.

                      2. Pure laziness.

                        Oh I make the best homemade waffles. They're orgasmic, I even have a secret ingredient. But I eat my eggo's with cream cheese as I'm racing out the door to work. This is often done half dressed, so as you can imagine, homemade waffles are not time effective for me.
