I was shopping the other night and as I walked down the frozen breakfast foods section of my store, something seemed wrong. It is very rare that you see EMPTY SPACE in a grocery store and even more rare that you see empty space in the refrigerated or frozen sections of a grocery store. But that is what I spied out of the corner of my eye.
It was a huge open gap in the frozen foods section of my grocery store. I looked closer and saw that it was Eggos waffles that were missing from the shelf - and there was a note!
Breaking News! There is an Eggo Waffles shortage in the United States! I did some research and found this story on what was going on with the Eggos. It appears that a combination of bacteria being found in some Eggo waffles, and recent flooding in Atlanta has exposed a weak link in the food supply system here in the United States. Who knew that just a couple of plants being shut down could result in a NATIONAL EGGO WAFFLE SHORTAGE. Oh the humanity.
Ok, that's all - you can resume eating breakfast now. Just no Eggos this morning.
