Here\u2019s the thing about me and waffles: I don\u2019t know when to eat them. I love them, right? Pancakes, French toast, and cinnamon rolls, too. But the thing is, I\u2019m a salty and savory breakfast guy, though and through. Give me a big ol\u2019 sloppy plate piled with biscuits smothered in thick, creamy gravy, a mountain of buttery scrambled eggs, and one pig\u2019s worth of sausage and bacon, please.<\/p>\n
So then, what do I do? When do I eat sweet breakfast foodstuffs? To be frank, it all feels so dessert-y to me. (I mean, one of the aforementioned foods has cake right in the name.) But here\u2019s the deal with that \u2014 how often do you feel like eating a big syrupy stack of flapjacks or a fluffy golden waffle after pounding a plate of fried chicken and mashed potatoes?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s tricky.<\/p>\n
But Eggo seems to be embracing the \u201cbreakfast for dessert\u201d ideation with the introduction of its new Thick & Fluffy family members, Tiramisu and Strawberry Cheesecake. Will these vanguard vittles make me feel less conflicted about my B4D dilemma?<\/p>\n
Well, they would if they were good, which they\u2019re not, so they won\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Where do they go wrong, you\u2019re asking? Let\u2019s take a deeper dive.<\/p>\n
![\"Eggo](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/eggotftirastbchee2.jpeg?resize=600%2C800&ssl=1\" "\\"eggotftirastbchee2.jpeg\\"")
<\/p>\n
First of all, these things don\u2019t cook properly. At least, not in a toaster \u2014 aka, the place where you generally cook Eggo waffles. Much like the problematic Pillsbury Toaster Strudel, the Thick & Fluffy waffle cooks unevenly, leaving pockets of cold tundra surrounded by peninsulas of heat. The directions suggest toasting it on the lowest setting (!) And that \u201ctwo cookings may be required.\u201d I\u2019m sorry\u2026 no? The point of a frozen waffle \u2014 or strudel, or Pop Tart \u2014 is that I can be ready to rock with that thing with very little foreplay. (I mean, in theory, anyway.) Same goes for the second suggested cooking method, a conventional oven. What is this, Kellogg\u2019s, the slow food movement?<\/p>\n
But anyway, all of this cooking nonsense would be forgivable if the waffles came out enjoyable. And they just don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
I tried each kind plain, straight from the toaster, and then covered in butter and syrup. The Strawberry Cheesecake had a decent artificial strawberry flavoring (owing to the inclusion of dried strawberries, no doubt), but there was nothing there that even began to suggest \u201ccheesecake.\u201d Despite its flaws \u2014 the batter was bland, it could\u2019ve used considerably more strawberries, and I was promised cheesecake, dammit \u2014 it did hold up better to butter and syrup than the tiramisu.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The tiramisu was definitely better, though, don\u2019t get me wrong. The box promised \u201ccocoa and roasted coffee\u201d flavoring, and it had that. The coffee flavor was subtle and accompanied by the tiniest hint of chocolate. Straight from the toaster, they were okay. But something peculiar happened when adorned with butter and syrup, though. They turned into totally plain tasting Eggo waffles. The mild coffee tones were made obsolete.<\/p>\n
As a fan of eating breakfast for dessert, I was excited about these waffles conceptually. As someone who doesn\u2019t like to eat bad things, though, I ended up disappointed.<\/p>\n
