Bad news for Eggo waffle lovers

eggoMy son is not going to like this news. Kellogg Co. says to expect a shortage of Eggo frozen waffles!

Here’s what The Associated Press reports:

Kellogg Co. says there will be a nationwide shortage of its popular Eggo frozen waffles until next summer because of interruptions in production at two of the four plants that make them.

The company’s Atlanta plant was shut down for an undisclosed period by a September storm that dumped historic amounts of rain in the area.

Meanwhile, several production lines at its largest bakery in Rossville, Tenn. are closed indefinitely for repairs.

Good thing my husband has gotten into making blueberry pancakes lately. Let’s hope Bisquick doesn’t suffer the same fate.

    This is not good news. My five-year-old insists on eating Eggos every morning. I’ve tried subsitutes and he can tell the difference. The only other thing that will satisfy him are the homemade versions. Looks like I’m going to have to dust off my waffle iron.

    There’s a “leggo my eggo” joke in here somewhere, I just haven’t found it yet. I’ll keep you posted.
