<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Pancakes have never quite translated to the fast-food world.<\/p>\n
Outside of the \u201chot cakes\u201d McDonald\u2019s used to slap inside giant Styrofoam cloches, I can\u2019t even think of a traditional pancake I\u2019ve seen on a menu.<\/p>\n
French Toast Sticks? Sure. McGriddles are kinda<\/em> like pancakes, but not quite. What else am I forgetting?<\/p>\n One thing\u2019s for sure, I definitely don\u2019t remember ever eating a pancake from Dunkin’.<\/p>\n Well, lucky for us(?), Dunkin’ figured out how to bring pancakes to the menu with the use of its patented Munchkinizer\u2122 technology. Introducing Pancake Minis!<\/p>\n According to Dunkin’, \u201cPancake Minis includes six mini pancakes filled with maple-flavored bits, served warm with a side of syrup.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n A few key words really struck me \u2013 \u201cmaple-flavored bits.\u201d Yes! That\u2019s how you sell a pancake at Dunkin’, mimic the McDonald\u2019s McGriddle cake. You\u2019re telling me I can eat mini poppable McGriddles and add even more syrup if I want too?!<\/p>\n \u2026 Oh you\u2019re not? Oh. That\u2019s disappointing.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t get your hopes up. The pancakes desperately need the syrup. Any sweetness just tastes like a teaspoon of sugar was added to the batter. Without strong \u201cmaple-flavored bits,\u201d this entire concept is DOA. Unless you\u2019re planning on dining inside a large Dunkin’ restaurant, these are pointless.<\/p>\n Few foods on Earth get colder faster than a pancake. These pancake Pogs get colder even faster than that! They won\u2019t travel well.<\/p>\n I\u2019m a car eater, but I also despise getting sticky, so opening and dunking into a syrup cup in my car isn\u2019t ideal. You\u2019re playing with fire even if you\u2019re parked. The drip threat isn\u2019t worth the risk.<\/p>\n \u201cHow hard is it to not spill syrup, you buffoon?\u201d Ok, fair enough, but in all honesty, the pancakes don\u2019t even taste that good even if you slather them with the Mrs. Butterworth syrup.<\/p>\n They didn\u2019t even stay hot for 30 seconds, and I watched the employee just pull 6 of em out of a drawer. He shuffled them like poker chips then nuked em for 30 seconds. Ok, he didn\u2019t shuffle em, but something about the whole process was still a bit off-putting. This is a nitpick though as I\u2019m sure plenty of places like this prepare foods similarly.<\/p>\n Dunkin’ is great at \u201cmini.\u201d Munchkins are iconic, and those bagel balls are a really good on-the-go snack, but these are just ill-conceived. Pancakes aren\u2019t a quick snack, and they didn\u2019t even try to get creative.<\/p>\n These are basically the Eggo minis in the freezer section, but at least you can make those at home.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re dead set on pancakes, just go to your local mom and pop breakfast spot instead. You\u2019ll find the time, most people wolf pancakes down in 5 minutes anyway.<\/p>\n The portion size is good and they have 10 grams of protein, but Pancake Minis aren\u2019t worth it. Something tells me they won\u2019t be \u201cselling like hotcakes.\u201d<\/p>\n On a scale of \u201cdip to skip\u201d these are a skip. Just wait for McDonald\u2019s to make \u201cLiddle McGriddles.\u201d \u2122 Vin. Hit me up, McDonald\u2019s.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/strong> $2.49 Pancakes have never quite translated to the fast-food world.
