ANNOUNCEMENT: New Reviewer Sam

/ / Announcement / 5 Comments

Well, Gouda day to you, and aloe me to introduce myself!

My name is Sam, and I am a food-obsessed, food-loving, and food pun-loving individual, and you butter dill with it! Ok, I’m done with the lame puns.

To kick things off, I am a born-and-raised Wisconsinite, so I’ve got the heart and soul to deal with anything fried, hearty, or related to good food. I know how to properly eat cheese (fried) and how to differentiate between all creamed goods that come from a cow. Seriously, some of the ice cream flavors in Wisconsin are utter this world. Ok, last one.

I grew up in a town right outside of Green Bay and have loved discovering new food products and recipes since I was a little kid. However, there was always an issue with where I grew up. I never had access to the cool and trending options and products that plaster themselves in all large, urban areas. For Heaven’s sake, if I want a decent vegan burger, I need to drive two and a half hours to Milwaukee. Not that I have done that. Not at all.

Anyhoo, since I didn’t always have access to the most exciting foods, ya know, besides fried cheese and custard, I was so excited when I could get my hands on something new. I mean, after a while, a diet of dairy, dairy, dairy, and fried dairy tends to get a little lifeless.

As much I love cows and cows, I really need to move to a bigger city. Eventually, I want to get to Chicago, so I can start being even more of a scatterbrain with just a little more chaos because what’s the fun in being sane? Plus, I’ve been to Chicago every year, and their food game is honestly stronger than a Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson cheat meal.

I am so excited to be joining The Impulsive Buy to give a fun glimpse into various products and review them so that I can help you in your life. Should you disagree with an opinion of mine on food, you’ll be wrong, but we can still coexist. I’m absolutely kidding, but I will make you prove me wrong about a cheese curd.

I look forward to reviewing all the fun, sugary, and tasty treats for this site, and I have one motto going forward: If it has greens or kale in it, I’m not wasting my time.

Here we go!

Sam

COMING SOON: Kellogg’s Eggo Waffle Cereal

/ / Coming Soon / 7 Comments

Kellogg s Eggo Waffle Cereal

Update: We tried it! Click here to read our review.

Back in 2006, Kellogg’s frozen waffle and cereal divisions came together to create Eggo Waffles Maple Syrup Cereal.

To be honest, I don’t know if there’s a frozen waffle division within Kellogg’s, but I like to imagine if there is one, they’re housed in an open office with square yellow desks that are arranged to make a giant Eggo waffle.

Anyhoo, Eggo Cereal was eventually discontinued in 2012 and it would take something that also debuted in 2006 to bring it back — Twitter. As we all know, the service allows us to communicate with our favorite celebrities and brands, and visa versa. So for National Waffle Day, the Eggo Twitter released this tweet: “If this gets 10,000 retweets we’ll bring back Eggo cereal. #NationalWaffleDay”

Well, it got 10,000 of them and then some. So here we are with Kellogg’s Eggo Maple Flavored Homestyle Waffle Cereal — the 2019 version.

Oh, but that’s not all. Kellogg’s will also debut a blueberry version of the cereal.

Both varieties will be available at retailers nationwide in December 2019 for a suggested retail price of $3.49 for an 8.8-ounce box.
