Leggo My Eggo: Shortage Looms

The Eggo Company has announced a nationwide shortage of Eggo Waffles.

 

The shortage is connected to problems in two frozen waffle producing plants.A plant in Atlanta closed after unprecedented rainfall hit the area in Sept., but has since reopened. Another plant in Tennessee has closed due to malfunctioning production lines and it is unknown when it will reopen .


Eggo states that the shortage will last at least until summer, 2010. Eggo representatives have stated that they are working round the clock to restore production to normal levels.


I guess the world’s stoners and children will have to resort to Pop Tarts until this crisis is rectified.

 

Luckily, I have a waffle iron.

Why did that sound vaguely obscene to me? Maybe it's just my memories of things you've said in the past. :)

I heard this on the news, three cheers for pancakes!
Eggos cost too damn much and taste the same as store brand. You're paying for that designer name, folks.

I can't eat that stuff so no worries here!

Oddly, I have two boxes in my freezer that I bought fairly recently. I don't buy them often. Must have had a coupon.

Maybe I'll hold onto them and sell them on Ebay. :)

I am glad I know how to cook. The shortaage will not leave me without a waffle meal.

Noooooooooooooo!! How will I be able to get through this crisis. I guess I'll have to switch to, dare I say, French Toast sticks.

what? No more waffles??????? LOL, I dont eat stuff like that too often, so I think I am pretty safe, but, thanks for the heads up!!!!
At least one of the plants was closed due to listeria contamination. It suffered a flood during the decontamination.

Yes, Thank God we have a waffle iron. I can't stand those pre-made, frozen packaged things.
