As many feared, rationing has begun

Yes, the giant corporations have already started rationing, by limiting our supply of... Eggos! Say it ain't so!!!!

Better hoard your Eggos!

Grocery stores will be experiencing a shortage of the waffles until mid-2010 due to problems at two bakeries, a Kellogg's spokeswoman said on Wednesday.

Flooding at an Atlanta bakery during heavy rains in October forced Kellogg, which makes Eggo products, to shut down production temporarily, said company spokesman Kris Charles. Plus, equipment at Kellogg's largest waffle facility, based in Rossville, Tenn., needs extensive repairs.

I saw that this morning. Right after I saw it I said it was the beginning of "The End - 2012" for our gradual decline. Mark my words, the few survivors 20 years from now will all be talking about how it all started with waffles............

I've not seen 2012 yet, but 'I've heard' that the end of the world begins with an Eggo shortage and goes downhill from there.

Maybe the movie should have been titled "2010"?

Yes, it has begun.... With the pancake and the waffle shall the world be laid to waste. Abandon hope all ye without a lot of butter and syrup ... and a really large fork.
