Chickens on strike????

Don't cry to me Egggggos eeeeaaters.....

@webweazel: No, the stores have those boxes in the frozen section because they look pretty.

(I gets my edumacation from watching Dirty Jobs. Mike Rowe was at a factory chicken farm. Poor chickens)

@TVarmy: Nice try.

I'm just waffle-impaired, I guess. Can't boil eggs either. :P

I think this is one of the only times I've ever used this type of statement correctly, but here it goes... I make my own waffles at home! Seriously though, making them at home is sooo cheap and easy. Not to mention delicious. Eggo's don't even taste like waffles to me...

*would eat them even if gallbladder acts up; wouldn't care*

My kid was addicted to the cinnamon toast waffles, not the toaster sticks, but the one w/ 4 mini toast pcs..this was quite a shock to us when I couldn't go out and find them anymore! Since, we have tried almost every other waffle type out there and even mini pancakes. He still wants his cinnamon toast waffles, so this makes me sad!!

@madanthony: Just thinking about Kashi foods makes me poop. I tried to get into Kashi, but seriously learned that I do not need that much fiber to keep "going"

@TacoDave: This is no problem - just put some Log Cabin or other ersatz syrup on some cardboard and you're in business.

@liz.lemonade: I've had both eggo and publix. not much difference at all. It seems like they may only be cheaper because there is less of one of the ingredients.

@webweazel: Ugh. I brought frozen waffles for lunch today. Now they'll never taste as good. *begins googling waffle irons*

@GinaLouise: Having done without a toaster before, I know what a pain it can be. Either put them directly on the wire rack in the oven (turning at least once) or my preferred method, put em on a flat frying pan and toast em that way.

for now, all i can tell customers is that Aunt Jemima and store brand will have to suffice. luckily both are on sale till the end of the year so not too many are complaining

@VA_White: People actually BUY frozen waffles? Always amazes me. A cheap wafflemaker and a few minutes of time, and there'll be a freezerful of them on the cheap. Especially with the recipes floating around the net for different flavored ones and such.

No plate needed, no fork, no mess! They were good!

There are no substitutes!

I tried...

Damn now I want some waffles.

I do this a lot too - you can do it with pancakes as well, but they "toast" as well days later. Still a good use for leftover pancake batter.

My fiancee and I make our own bagels too - about 15 cents each.

and here's a Consumerist post about it when I get home. go figure.

Kashi waffles are pretty good, too. And they make me poop!

And if there's listeria, then I make that myself at home too, so it's better and cheaper listeria.

Disclaimer: I probably haven't had an Eggo in 20+ years.

@liz.lemonade:

You eat frozen waffles on the way to work?

What is wrong with Pop-Tarts? Don't you know Pop-Tarts are the official semi-food product for adults eating while driving to work?

Try these until Eggo returns. By the time Eggo returns, you might have switched your frozen waffle brand loyalty.

After all how many frozen waffle plants are there in the world?

Eggs are the cheapest they've been in a long while.

Not to mention that the local egg farm nearest to the kellogg plant here in Michigan currently produces 1.5 million eggs per day, and the one not 20 miles further away puts out somewhere along the lines of 700,000 eggs per day.

Source: Me. I've worked on the egg farms and gone to the grocery store recently.

There is a Waffle Shortage...

Ergo, my Eggos are gone!

@liz.lemonade: Publix brand waffles may be made by Kellogg's.

What irks me is that I emailed Kellogg's to ask who was going to carry the Apple Cinnamon Eggos now that the only local store that carries them is closed, and they sent me a canned "there's a waffle shortage" email. NOT WHAT I ASKED.

I was wondering the same thing. I took a pic of this on my iphone sunday night. WTF waffle shortage? Really
?

(Yeah, I know Eggo is kinda awful, but they're also great for sticking in the toaster and eating on the way to work.)

Are you kidding! The chocolate-chip waffles are where it's at.

(I hate that phrase... "where it's at"? Whatever)

That said, now I want some waffles.
