Kellogg is rationing its Eggo products due to flooding and equipment problems at two bakeries. The shortfall could last through mid-2010.

Better hoard your Eggos!

Grocery stores will be experiencing a shortage of the waffles until mid-2010 due to problems at two bakeries, a Kellogg's spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

Flooding at an Atlanta bakery during heavy rains in October forced Kellogg, which makes Eggo products, to shut down production temporarily, said company spokesman Kris Charles. Plus, equipment at Kellogg's largest waffle facility, based in Rossville, Tenn., needs extensive repairs.

*dismissive sniff*

If we had a planned 0bama economy there would be one waffle bakery, and it wouldn’t be allowed to have a flood.

Bush’s fault.
Seriously folks if you love waffles that much, buy a waffle iron, and get creative. And in a matter of months, you’ll make your money back on your investment relative to the cost of Eggos.

They’re a lot of fun to make on a Saturday or Sunday morning with the kids, too. Much better than popping a frozen frisbee into the toaster.

No! No! No1 This is a catastrophe!

Most mornings for breakfast I make a PB&J sandwich with Leggos Blueberry waffles (sometimes with Strawberry, sometimes with just PB). Fast, simple, and easy. Yum!

Now what will I do? I’ll have to actually cook breakfast. That’s not fair.

You said it. How anyone calls those little frozen boards “waffles” is beyond me.

We buy whole-grain Eggo waffles because my daugther likes them. We eat them on occasion as well.

We've noticed that recently the recipe has changed for the worse. I wonder if this situation has anything to do with it.

I hope so, because the "new" Eggos suck.
