- eastwood24, on 11/15/2009, -0/+60And they said I was crazy for stock piling eggo waffles last year. Who's laughing now you eggo-less haters!?!
- timusca, on 11/15/2009, -0/+56Oh well, I'm just fine drinking the syrup from the bottle. The Eggo is just there as a sponge anyway so I can eat syrup with a fork.
- badqat, on 11/15/2009, -0/+37Kinda hard to spin "leggo my eggo" to a flood in a positive light. I guess there really isn't a sexy way to do it, either.
Stoners and children nationwide await a return to normal stock levels. - robwhite1979, on 11/15/2009, -2/+30Shucks, now I guess I'll have to eat real waffles instead of the preservative/sugar/fat laden tasteless pre-made ones :( I don't know how I'll ever recover the 10 minutes a month that a frozen waffle saves me!
- hbyrne, on 11/15/2009, -3/+27wetto my eggo
- aqweio, on 11/15/2009, -0/+21After eggos expire you can fold them over and they become hot pockets!
- zephc, on 11/15/2009, -0/+16First they came for the Cheet-Os, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Cheet-Os fan;
Then they came for the Mr. Pibb, and I did not speak out—because I liked Dr. Pepper;
Then they came for the Funions, and I did not speak out—because Funions give me gas;
Then they came for my Doritos and Mountain Dew—and there was no one left to speak out for me. - slapded, on 11/15/2009, -0/+15Yes
- twiztidsinz, on 11/15/2009, -1/+14Great idea!!
Why don't you go do that over on 4chan and never come back to digg. - Aooogah, on 11/15/2009, -0/+13First the Slim Jims, now the Eggos. It's like there's a conspiracy against the nerd food industry.
- mogebier, on 11/15/2009, -3/+13"We're not at all bitter that Kellogg's answers Bloomberg News's emails, but not ours. Nope. Not one bit."
They didn't answer your e-mails because they know your site takes things out of context, leaves things out of articles and makes things up and lies about companies to get your small fan base stirred up so your site gets more hits and ad revenue.
In short... everyone knows you are just like the Enquirer - an amusing lieing sack of flaming poo. - michaelpinto, on 11/15/2009, -4/+14"Eggo is working around the clock to bring everyone's favorite waffles back to store shelves" Ummm, everyone's favorite?
- TRoosevelt427, on 11/15/2009, -0/+9If you need waffles over the next few months, man up and make your own. Check out Alton Brown's directions.
http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/bas ... - Falldog, on 11/15/2009, -3/+12Costco replaced Eggos with boxes of their generic waffle crap. Rubbish! They taste like rubbish!
Nor can I find Mutri-Grain Cinnamon Eggos anymore. Bloody Mayans were right, just off by a year or two. - Bonders20, on 11/15/2009, -0/+8where-go my eggo?
- castingshade, on 11/15/2009, -0/+7I'll be in the next plane to Atlanta to help rebuild that factory brick-by-brick if my Cinnamon Toast Waffles were affected!
- Shmebber, on 11/15/2009, -0/+7Tragic as this shortage is, I find the concept of a "waffle factory" particularly hilarious.
- hshadow914, on 11/15/2009, -0/+6No, no I didn't.
- k3rfuffl3, on 11/15/2009, -0/+5The humor section should be renamed "Waffles Factory"
- zephc, on 11/15/2009, -0/+5All this fuss and furor over what is basically a cardboard-like syrup-delivery system
- tavisjohn, on 11/15/2009, -0/+5And suddenly there was a large run on waffel makers... Film at 11.
- castingshade, on 11/15/2009, -0/+4*packs his masonry gloves*
- yacks, on 11/15/2009, -0/+3But there is no shortage of Rob's Macaroni Salad.
- millardiii, on 11/15/2009, -2/+5What a bunch of bull!!! Eggo waffles produced in Atlanta were pulled from the shelves before the flood after the discovery of Listeria in the product. Kellogg asserts that none of the affected product was shipped to grocers (reference http://supermarketnews.com/news/kellog_listeria_09 ... The Atlanta plant was already shuttered for cleaning when the flood hit.
Kellogg is taking advantage of the PR of the flood to retool a new plant to manufacture the product (note the intentional absence of words cook and food).
Thank you Kellogg for using the tragedy of a natural disaster (Atlanta flood) to cover up for your bad sanitation techniques. - millardiii, on 11/15/2009, -1/+3Hmmm, new conspiracy theory: Eggo wafles used as sponges to clean up after Atlanta flood. That should explain their absence from the shelves.
- miket, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2i hear it works on reddit too

I appolgize for the broken link, but my information is correct - xDemosthenes, on 11/15/2009, -3/+5do you not realize how awesome eggo waffles are?
- robwhite1979, on 11/15/2009, -1/+3Just not my thing I guess... I hate processed food, it all tastes so artificial...
- tgc1, on 11/16/2009, -0/+2That's a far cry calling the ***** they sell out there syrup. Unless you mean REAL maple syrup. But it's expensive. Worth it though.
- skipvt, on 11/15/2009, -0/+2Just think what would happen if they legalized pot!
- MaxxusFlamus, on 11/15/2009, -1/+3it's as if you've never heard of marketing before.
- MikeyMoose, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1That's advertising, not marketing.

What concerns me is why was it 3 hole punched? Were they prepared for such an emergency at my waffle outlet? - jakobrowning, on 11/15/2009, -1/+2Can you provide any evidence besides a broken link?
- cckid716, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1Soggy Waffles anyone?
- Remingtonh, on 11/15/2009, -1/+2I thought we stopped the Flood in Halo 3?
- darkphenox, on 11/15/2009, -2/+3No they don't
- merlin99, on 11/17/2009, -0/+1Eggo has to be the most horrible name for anything ever
- MikeyMoose, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1Jebus Christ - you're the ***** Ralph Nader & Geraldo Rivera of the waffle industry!
- m85476585, on 11/15/2009, -0/+1I can't find Cinnamon Toast waffles at any store here in Atlanta, it's been this way for a few weeks now.
- bat-21, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1God wants his Eggos clean.
- MikeyMoose, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1Hot Pockets? Jalapeno Poppers? Hickory Sticks?
- Tarkaan, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1You can make your own toaster waffles if you want. Cook them until they're not quite done and freeze them. Alton Brown's pry got a recipe at FoodTV.com
- zomgorly, on 11/16/2009, -0/+1Kellogg Eggo leggo my eggo?
