Eaters of crappy breakfasts nationwide will soon mean business when they scream "Leggo my Eggo!" Two of the four Kellogg factories that produce the beloved frozen waffles have basically experienced their own 2012. Flooding problems in Atlanta and mechanical problems in Tennessee mean that Eggo waffle supply will be noticeably down until next summer. The other plants are located in San Jose, CA and Blue Anchor, NJ. <--(Hopefully they're both reviewing the emergency disaster plans because I can smell another doomsday and it might go well with syrup.)
Kellogg Fights Waffle Shortage
"Stay-at-home mom Joey Resciniti says she bought one of the last two boxes of Eggos at a Walmart in Cranberry Township, Pa., on Monday. The frozen waffles are a favorite of her 4-year-old daughter, Julia."
Sorry, Julia...your mom Joey will be rationing your Eggo intake. You might have to eat real food for breakfast. (Do you think this is one of those "J" name families?)
So how are consumers reacting? Like a bunch of dorks. A quote from another article reads, "Twitter bites back. Eggo enthusiasts took to the Internet to mourn the shortage. Lovers of the Twilight vampire movie series thinking about another kind of bite, as Twitter fanpage editors comforted each other via the social media site. User @KStew411, a page devoted to Twilight star Kristen Stewart, tweeted on Tuesday: "I am despondent. DESPONDENT. My 4 food groups are: tacos, skittles, pop, and eggos!" I wish there was a shortage of Twilight series fans. Also interesting to point out is the possible correlation between poor taste in foods and poor taste in entertainment.
