Searching for meaning in Eggo shortage


Posted at 6:52 pm by Jerry Cornfield

It's been a couple hours since I learned of a nationwide shortage of Eggo waffles.

And still no press releases from the Republican National Party Chairman decrying it as a plot by Democrats or the Democrats claiming it's a conspiracy hatched by Rush Limbaugh.

Maybe, it's just a shortage and a fun story. .

Eggo, as I learned today,,

first hit the shelves in 1960, and its cult following grew in the following years. Kellogg started using the famed slogan “Leggo my Eggo” in 1972. For years, the waffles have been a staple for busy moms and college students looking for a quick breakfast.

Oh, and Eggo has more friends on Facebook and followers on Twitter, than I do on either..

According to the article, "news of the shortage spread quickly on Twitter as shoppers reported not being able to find the breakfast food. Fans of Eggos lamented their scarcity on the waffle's Facebook page, which has more than 400 members."
