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. "We are working around the clock to restore Eggo store inventories to normal levels as quickly as possible," Charles said in an e-mail. Remaining inventory will be rationed to stores across the country "based on historical percentage of business." Production figures are confidential, Charles said, but Charles added that all lines are operational except for several lines at the Rossville plant. Chad, a grocery manager at King Soopers in Denver who declined to give his last name, said his store is "seeing some shortage, but not much." A Kroger in Jackson, Miss., was also experiencing shortages, according to a manager in the frozen foods sections. At Fairway in New York City, Eggos were in full supply, however, according to a manager at the Red Hook location. The production problems will also affect other Eggo products, including pancakes, syrup and other breakfast food. To alert customers, Kellogg has placed a warning to customers on top of its Eggo Web site and placed notices in some grocery stores. Twitter bites back. Eggo enthusiasts took to the Internet to mourn the shortage. Lovers of the Twilight vampire movie series thinking about another kind of bite, as Twitter fanpage editors comforted each other via the social media site. User @KStew411, a page devoted to Twilight star Kristen Stewart, tweeted on Tuesday: "I am despondent. DESPONDENT. My 4 food groups are: tacos, skittles, pop, and eggos!" User @cullenluv sent a message of support: "We're outta Eggos here, too!! It's a national tragedy!!"
crap there is going to be some violence going down at Roscoe's if people cant get their food. I want waffles now myself boy they are good
There's always: Anybody ever notice when you buy store brand waffles there are always holes or they're just really thin?
^^ I have never had Mrs. SwoLy buy those, and we always get the 4-set style Leggo waffles... we'll try those. They're thin? However, we've noticed that "Great Value" cinnamon rolls are much more tasty than the Pillsbury ones... maybe we're used to them already.
I blurted aloud "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" someone hit me with a plastic light saber lightly on the top of my head i turned around and there were 7 guys who had them didnt know which one
no matter how much of a turd it was in the punch bowl i am SO glad it was added. i will be saying that, and laughing at it, until the day i die. my grandkids will know about "vader no".
