My friend, Hannah, just sent me an email to alert me about breaking news on Yahoo:
Not a joke, you guys. Real. Live. Screenshot.
Holy shit, y’all.
And my first thought was “I have to share this with the internets immediately because WTF, news media? Why is this a top story?!” And then my second thought is that I shouldn’t tell anyone about it until I have a chance to go out and buy all the Eggos I can find first because this way I get a headstart on the hoarding. But no, I decided to share with you now because I have integrity. And because I already have a box of Eggos in my fridge. Which I will be selling on ebay. Starting bid? Eight hundred thousand dollars. They’re the buttermilk-flavored ones though so, yeah…they’re totally worth it.
Also, I just read the actual news story and it gets even better. Actual quotes from top story, which by the way, comes from CNN:
Eggo enthusiasts took to the Internet to mourn the shortage. Lovers of theTwilight 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!”
User @cullenluv sent a message of support: “We’re outta Eggos here, too!! It’s a national tragedy!!
THAT’S ALL IN THE NEWS STORY. Honestly, people. I couldn’t even make this shit up. It’s like we’re living in The Onion.
Comment of the day: I fed my two year old Eggos for breakfast today, before I knew they were rare. I’m taking $100,000 out of his college fund to make up for him eating such a rare commodity. You know, if he had $100,000 in his college fund, which he doesn’t. So basically he isn’t going to college. Hope you enjoyed your waffles, kid. ~ Erin

okay I’m actually seriously happy that you posted this. I’ve been going to my ghetto Ralphs for the past like 2 months trying to find some chocolate chip eggos and they NEVER had any. The eggo section is always bare and only has the like shitty nutrigrain ones left. If I wanted whole grains I wouldnt be eating eggos.
While there are still no waffles, at least grocery stores wont have to listen to me yell about how I wont be able to function without my chocolate chip eggos. Thank you!

Are you friggin’ kidding me, THAT is the top story? It’s called a WAFFLER, people, it isn’t a crime to go to the store, buy one, and make your own, they’re better than all the crap pumped into the crap-o Eggos to begin with. What’s next, Waffle Houses across the nation get robbed at gunpoint because of the shortage? Geezus.
Thank you for the twitter names of the idiots who are actually mourning the shortage, so I can go and Twitter-Bitchslap ‘em.

Erin´s last blog ..How Sweet The Sound
This actually totally explains my day. I have a daughter who is alive thanks to Eggo Chocolate Chip waffles. I went to buy more, and the store was out. They were out of every kind of Eggo waffle except those weird healthy ones, and we all know that nobody eats those, they are just there for show.
What on earth will my daughter eat now? Does this mean I have to learn to cook chocolate chip waffles? Screw that and the pony it rode in on. Can you even make stuff like that at home? I always assumed magical elves in a factory somewhere made them. Dude, maybe something happened to the elves, and that’s what’s causing the shortage! This *is* totally breaking news.

I’m ashamed to admit that after reading it on yahoo, I hurriedly called my boyfriend, a devoted Eggo enthusiast, so that he could run out and stock up. Just this weekend, he mentioned his difficulty locating the cinnamon Eggos. Mystery solved!
As long as we still bacon, all is right with the world.

$800,000? I actually chuckled aloud when I read that part. I eat the Special K waffles, but this story is frightening nonetheless. I feel like the world might end soon. But not in 2012 — though I do want to see that movie. You better start rationing the box you have in your freezer though — just in case.
Sabrina ´s last blog ..An Actual Conversation The Boss and I Had Over a Box of Ritz Crackers
I’m not getting it. THERE ARE OTHER WAYS PEOPLE to eat crappy frozen waffes. It’s call Bisquick and a waffle iron. Make Bisquick waffles and stick them in the freezer for later. When later comes grab your frozen waffle out of the freezer and burn it in the toaster oven. Ta Da! It’s like Eggo.
Or maybe it’s just like Eggo at my house. I don’t think my toaster oven likes frozen waffles of any sort and burns them as some sort of revenge thing.
Condo Blues´s last blog ..Green Moms Carnival: Saving Money through Green Means
OMG… its all my fault! When I was let go from my last job, a few weeks ago, I titled a blog entry with a comedic reference to Eggo’s slogan and it looks like my “millions” of followers have all secretly gone out and bought all the Eggo waffles in sympathetic protest…

Eggo envy…I’ve never tried em. They don’t make a big deal about waffles in Australia. waffle is used when you’re talking about BS.

Wait a minute…VAMPIRES DON’T EAT WAFFLES…I knew that Twilight was a sham, this simply reconfirms my theory.

Judy Haley (CoffeeJitters.Net)´s last blog ..March of Dimes
I can’t help but wonder if this is some kind of creative campaign by the Eggo people. I haven’t had an Eggo in years, nor have I wanted one, but I’ll be damned if I didn’t want to go out and buy a dozen boxes after reading this and cover them all in syrup and pig out. After I toasted them of course. I’m not an animal. Good one, Eggo people….
Jessica´s last blog ..Cruelty-Free Thanksgiving Tips
Somebody needs to hold me NOW.
Aunt Becky´s last blog ..The First Day Of The Rest Of Your Life.
Bingo, Jessica – you are exactly right. As a public relations professional, I can tell you that commodity industries do it all the time. For example, let’s say an arsenic mining company issues a news release saying that their arsenic yield from a particular mine is down. Or an oil refinery says that they have shut down production from xyz date to xyz date. Or a HFCS company says that the corn crop was bad. The entire purpose of that information is to drive up the price/demand for that commodity product. So what we’re really seeing is the transformation of Eggos into a product much like crude oil, HFCS, or arsenic.
I wish fondly the Eggo campaign was my own. “Rationing”. Pure genius.
I’m sure this is Obama’s fault. We never had Eggo shortages when a Republican was in office. I SMELL SOCIALISM.
I was kind of thinking that I felt like I was reading the news ticker headlines off of Sim City 3000, but yes. The Onion. You’re right. Much cooler. What kind of dork still plays Sim City 3000? Ha ha, hooo.
Waffle shortage! Mayor Chloe Popstar declares a day of emergency!
Chloe´s last blog ..Outfit Of The Day (Bejeweled)
Although, now that I’ve seen Kellogg’s website and read through the media coverage, I’m changing my mind. The “feel” of the answer is what we call a reactive or standby statement, meaning it was not originally meant to leave the company.
Ok, see this is serious. For real! I am addicted to Chocolate Chip Eggos and they are gone. GONE! There is a preponderance of buttermilk, blueberry, strawberry and those awful whole grain things (seriously, what’s the point???) but NO CHOCOLATE CHIP.
Unfortunately, the preponderacne of buttermilk means your ebay plan is probably not going to work. But I’ll keep it a secret because I have your back and totally think there are people who will pay good money for a good eggo.
Also, I’m glad you posted this because I was starting to think it was just me. But I’m not paranoid or anything. Much.

This really burns me up. With all that’s going on in the world, this is what passes for news? It’s an outrage. We should be ashamed. Now if there was a shortage of Pillsbury Toaster Strudels, NOW that would be a story.
Perhaps the most bizarre part is how they managed to tie the whole “tragedy” into the “Twilight” fan communities. Because apparently every event in the known universe matters only in how it relates to the New Moon premiere.
PS: Vampires do not sparkle. We are impenetrable vortexes of darkness.
PPS: I stopped smoking! You seemed quite troubled last time you stopped by Fermented Fur, so I thought you’d want to know. Of course I’d been drunk-emailing Dr. Oz, while smoking, and having almost just ripped out my own jugular looking for my thyroid… but you probably hear about that sort of stuff all the time. But anyway, I’m now an ex-smoker. We’ll deal with the drinking some other time.

Third, I’m usually too cheap to buy the supermarket brand, so will I even be affected by this “crisis”?

I’ve been looking for ways to make extra cash since I’ve been out of work, and now I can put the waffle maker and ridiculously GIGANTIC-ass bag of waffle mix I got from my sister-in-law for Christmas last year to good use!

Rob´s last blog ..BloGaga
Twilight is kind of like the new Christianity in that it has changed the ways in which millions live their lives and has spawned many an uneducated zealot …so does that mean that Edward (because he is obviously the Jesus figure in this new world order) is taking away Eggos from us as punishment of those of us who are still worshiping the false idol, Harry Potter? cause that will totally work. I’m going to buy my New Moon ticket now. Stop the waffle shortage Edward! I’m so sorry! oh dear Edward! Make it stop!

I shit you not I have to buy them at BJ’s by the case where you get like 100 waffles and I do that 1-2 times a month. Thank god we have an industrial size freezer for all of these waffles. So no offense your 1 package of eggos ain’t shit to my freezer full compliments of the 100 pack sold at BJ’s. LOL. EBAY here we come!

The Onion may need to start report serious news. Like Jon Stewart: the most trusted news source indeed. Another OMG and WTF: My kids do have Eggo almost every morning. (They renounced my attempt to make homemade waffles. Jerks) And that represents 1 out of 5 items in their major food group. The stores are closed now. I wish I had read your post before midnight.

HA! My first thought was that the Onion had hacked CNN! Only in America, people. Nevermind that the world is almost out of gas, it’s a tragedy when we are out of premade, preservative laden, chemically frozen flour products. AWESOME.
Actually, it wasn’t the rain. My brother had a dream his house was made of waffles, so I tried to make one for real. It turns out that it takes a lot of waffles to make a three-bedroom house. Sorry about that. Also, a house made of waffles is not very sheltery, but it smells good on a warm day.
Finally, a national emergency I can sink my teeth into!
But this is truly a bonanza for all the wannabes.
It’s just like Anna Nicole Smith and Pamela Anderson and Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan all dying AT ONCE!! and in the void we would have a whole new crop of undertalented and overvalued young actresses and singers rushing onto the frenzied scene, each more pathetically publicity-lusting than the next.

I wonder if all the Eggo fans here would be so keen on the product if they’d heard the continued news about it that I heard this morning…turns out, the shortage isn’t due to just a flood issue. It’s also because they were dealing with cleanliness issues at the plant that got flooded, and had been cited by health officials for listeria found in a batch of those oh so yummy buttermilk waffles.
Yum?

“Leggo my Eggo or I’ma cut a bitch!”
It’s a waffle conspiracy. First, Pillsbury stops making the square waffles that taste better, and fit more logically into the toaster. Now, there’s an Eggo shortage? Just wait, some new and improved waffle variety is waiting in the advertising wings to swoop in and ’save’ us from waffle oblivion. It’s never as simple as it seems…
So I go to the store to buy some eggos, you know, like any other day… and *gasp* they were all out, except for those nutritious ones, and who buys those right? So I go through any buy all the ingredients to make “real” waffles, although who really knows what “real” is anyway. So, buttermilk, check, eggs, check, pancake mix, check, so i’m ready to make some waffles…
