\"Kellogg's<\/a><\/p>\n

Okay, Eggo, we get it. You make some pretty great frozen waffles. In fact, I\u2019d say that you\u2019ve got the frozen waffle game ON LOCK. But can you please stop gloating? We understand that you want us to give you the R.E.S.P.E.C.T. you sorely desire when we get home. <\/p>\n

I know I\u2019m proud of you. But making the umpteenth delicious waffle variety is really pushing it. I simply cannot stress enough the importance of humility in the art of frozen breakfast-making. <\/p>\n

See, with your new Thick & Fluffy Mixed Berry Waffles, you take things a bit too far by adding real fruit into your already delicious batter. Eggo, I know you\u2019re at the top of the game, but you\u2019re humiliating the competition at this point. Just slow your roll. Go easy on them.<\/p>\n

Now, Thick & Fluffy Mixed Berry waffles are full of mixed berry flavor. Even though it doesn\u2019t taste like real fruit, I want you to know that I still appreciate the effort. It\u2019s a sizeable leap away from some of the other frozen waffle lines out there who only offer blueberry flavor. Blueberry is old hat. <\/p>\n

By giving us strawberry and<\/u> blueberry together, you\u2019re breaking the mold with a VARIETY of berries. You clearly wanted to present a waffle wherein strawberry and blueberry flavors mingle in perfect harmony\u2026 but before you get too smug, Eggo, let me point out that the strawberry flavor overpowers the blueberry flavor just a smidgen. That doesn\u2019t completely ruin the effect, though, nor the name. The berries are blended. They are<\/u> mixed, which makes for some delicious waffles. I see you, Eggo.<\/p>\n

\"Kellogg's<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not forget the convenience factor. When it comes to toaster waffles, especially waffles of a certain thickness that tend to take a little longer to toast\u2026 it\u2019s not always easy to get it just right. You\u2019ve made a Thick & Fluffy waffle and that is indeed thick and fluffy, but one that is still a cinch to get to that desirable level of golden brown crispiness without the burnt edges. Delicious and hot and golden brown. And sweet enough to skip the syrup\u2026 but why would you ever do that? I say bring on the sweetness!) This is a good waffle, Eggo. But now you\u2019re just showing off.<\/p>\n

So please hear me out. I admire the level of toasty goodness you\u2019ve achieved with this new creation, Mixed Berry \u2013 one that is on par with the yummy-ness of the other Thick & Fluffy flavors, Original and Cinnamon & Brown Sugar<\/a>. <\/p>\n

But please, just take a moment to think of the other brands, the ones you\u2019ve left behind: Kashi, Aunt Jemima, Krusteaz, Nature’s Path, Van\u2019s, and any store brand. Think of how they might feel when you show up with yet another tasty breakfast item that will yet again fill the bellies of Americans with warm, toasty, sweet waffle-y goodness. They\u2019ll feel jealous, that\u2019s what.<\/p>\n

That\u2019ll do, Eggo. That\u2019ll do.<\/p>\n
