The top of each piece looks like any old Lego piece with eight protruding studs.  However, the bottom only has three holes to accommodate those studs, which means there aren&#8217;t enough holes for each of those studs.  Every stud needs to stick itself into a hole or else it&#8217;s not going to be fun.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/theimpulsivebuy\/6962115346\/\" title=\"Kellogg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Lego Eggo Waffles by theimpulsivebuy, on Flickr\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"float:right;padding-left:10px;border:none;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7247\/6962115346_2e03320d0d_n.jpg?resize=141%2C320\" width=\"141\" height=\"320\" alt=\"Kellogg\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Lego Eggo Waffles\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why there are only three holes, because it&#8217;s impossible to stick two studs in one hole.  Even if I could stick two studs into one hole, since there are only three holes, two studs aren&#8217;t going get a hole.  Do they expect us to stick three studs into one hole?  Now that&#8217;s just insane and could lead to some possibly tearing.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also hard to erect anything if the pieces aren&#8217;t hard.  As you can also see in the picture, I had a huge erect structure that stood tall as long as the pieces were rock hard, but over time they started getting soft and everything just flopped down to the ground, which is totally frustrating for everyone.  The only two ways to keep things hard for a little while is to either freeze or toast really well each piece, but either way, pieces will get soft eventually.<\/p>\n<p>The shape of each waffle also doesn&#8217;t make it ideal for syrup.  As we all know, normal waffles have deep grooves which can hold syrup, but the Lego Eggo Waffles have a shape that does the opposite.  Sure you could flip the Lego Eggo Waffles over and shoot some syrup into those tight holes, but again, there aren&#8217;t enough holes to prevent the syrup from rolling off the waffle.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, at least it tastes like a normal Eggo Waffle, but still, it does a horrible job of being a syrup sucking waffle and a Lego piece.<\/p>\n<p>Although there are some advantages to using Lego Eggo Waffles as building material and I wrote a short song\/poem about one particular advantage.<\/p>\n<p>If walls were made out of Lego Eggo Waffles, it would be easier to stalk you.<br \/>\nNo wall or fence could keep me away, I&#8217;d be your Romeo or your boo.<br \/>\nI would nibble away at your wall to make a hole to watch sleep my dear.<br \/>\nI would eat a little more of your wall to pretend I was nibbling on your ear.<br \/>\nThe Lego Eggo Waffles are so light, I can lift them up with little power.<br \/>\nSo when you&#8217;re in your bathroom, I can watch you when you shower.<br \/>\nAfter you&#8217;re done in the shower, I can grab your hair collected on the floor.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll sniff them like I do with the underwear I stole that you already wore.<br \/>\nWhen you&#8217;re not at home, I&#8217;ll eat my way through a Lego Eggo wall.<br \/>\nThen try on your sexy black dress, but on me it&#8217;s way too small.<br \/>\nI&#8217;ll search through your trash to find something that catches my eye.<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s a tube of lipstick and a used toothbrush I can add to my shrine.<br \/>\nSure one day I&#8217;ll get caught and be sent to a maximum security facility.<br \/>\nBut it&#8217;s also made of Lego Eggo Waffles, so soon again I&#8217;ll be stalking thee.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Kellogg&#8217;s Lego Eggo Waffles<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  $2.00 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  4 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Tastes like regular Eggo Waffles.
