Is that a Batter Blaster in your pants or are you just happy to see me??

All right, ya'll. Hang onto your hats. Today we're going to delve into Product Development and Analysis. It's gonna be super awesome. And, go....

So there I was, cruising through Costco looking for ginormous containers of food for my family. I was near the dairy section when something new caught my eye. Without further ado, here is the product:



Apparently it is AMAZING! In case you can't see the image well it is, in essence, pancake and waffle mix in a pressurized can. Oh! And it's organic! Because everyone knows that parents who are willing to feed their kid breakfast from a pressurized can (with some syrup on it) really give a shit about the product being organic. Is it me or is this kind of like making organic Twinkies??

So it occurred to me that I should make sure that there aren't organic Twinkies available if I was going to make sarcastic comments about them. I've just been to google and as a result I am now aware that there is something called "The Twinkie Problem" and that it basically consists of health food advocates who are pissed off that it is possible to have an organic twinkie. They are mad because a Twinkie is the quintessential junk food and therefore shouldn't be able to make something certified organic because everybody knows that it's chock full of unhealthy crap. Huh.

I can't imagine being the guy who gets pissed off at something like that. He and his wife are at a cocktail party and someone broaches the subject. The guy starts sweating profusely and pursing his lips. The wife says, "Now, Dear...remember your blood pressure...."

Back to the AMAZING organic waffles in a pressurized can. I have a feeling that these are going to be like those frozen peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with no crust. The first time I saw these at the store I thought to myself, "Jesus. The day that I don't have time to make a fucking PB&J is the day that I'm gonna end it all..." And here I am with a freezer full. So, I think the waffles are ridiculous. But I am already warming up to the idea and will probably, at some point, buy a can. Of pressurized organic waffles. That are apparently AMAZING!

I'll keep you posted.

You'll never believe what Humor-Blogs keeps in a pressurized can! Check it out...

You know, I might be tempted if they didn't already sell waffles and pancakes already made in the freezer section. I mean, isn't this going back a step?
Keeper Of All Things said…
OMG Too funny. The freezer waffels don't have the "love" that actually having to heat up a pan does. Oh and I said the same thing about pb & j.

Save me the whippets!

When they make chocolate chip cookie dough in a can, which I can squirt directly into my mouth like whipped cream (or perhaps in tandem with whipped cream), I will conclude that this is, as Mr. Armstrong claimed, A Wonderful World.
Bex said…
Memarie - yeah, but, there really is nothing like a waffle or pancake fresh off of the griddle. But, like I said, yeah. It's at least one step back, possibly TWO.

Keeper - I agree about the "love". I was just thinking: I happen to LOVE pancake batter. And I - as I type - have a can of whipped cream in the fridge and at least 2-37 times a day will walk by and eat a squirt (that just sounds dirty). I'm not sure I'm strong enough to withstand the temptation that would surely exist with a CAN of pancake batter RIGHT THERE at my beck and call. I'm only human, after all.

Dave - Oh. I forgot about those. They are all yours, big guy.

Shieldmaiden - I LOVE how your mind works! Twisted and true...you are very clearly my kind of woman.

SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it's at Costco, though, do I need to buy 3 dozen?

I am sorry, but I don't eat any food out of a pressurized can. I saw an advertisement for Cool Whip in a can, and I am just wondering, why?? It's just gross!
Shawna said…
This kinda creepys me out. What will come in a pressurized can next? Steak and mashed potatos? Ravioli? Eggs benedict?
Alice said…
Holy cow! How did you get outta there without actually purchasing that stuff? Go back immediately -we'll need a full report and taste test!
Bex said…
Sue - I think it was "only" a three pack, although I have a hard time imagining a situation requiring more than two cans of pressurized batter. But I always have been a bit slow when it comes to these things...

Jacki - I hate cool whip. BUT. Real whipped cream in a can? Booyah! I'm all over that. I'm pretty sure that I have a problem.

Shawna - ::snickering:: how about pressurized meat loaf? with a side of pressurized cream corn?? The corn can double as a gag item because people can squirt it places when they want someone to think that they've puked. Cuz that's such a great gag and all.

Alice - I KNOW that the next time I'm there I will be absolutely compelled to purchase it. What can I say? I'm a slave to the marketing. I'm outta town for the next week or so but when I get back it's gonna be All Pancakes, All the Time at my place.

If you take the pressurized pancake mix and add some pressurized whipped cream, you have a homemade Twinkie. Yes, a fun activity with the kids and a great way to stick it to the Health Food Fanatics.

I saw the ad for this stuff. It made me think of something that they might have tried to market in the 50s and we would look back on and laugh at now. "Remember when they tried making pancakes in a CAN? Ha ha ha ha ha!"

The Dunkin Donuts Dilemna

I am always amazed when I leave my home in the early hours of the morning and there are people out and about. I can barely see the runners (as the sun isn't yet passed the horizon) but they are hoofing it up the hill. Don't these people know that they should be home - in bed - snuggled up???! So you can imagine my surprise when, at 6AM, I saw the impressive line at my local Dunkin Donuts. But we were heading out of town on a road trip with 3 little kids (all under 8) and a 2 month old puppy. I know what you are thinking...WHY??! We very anxiously wanted to travel for a little bit of more pain - AKA my 20th High School reunion. Maybe more on that later... As if this all weren't bad enough, my husband and I had been to a party the night before and I had just the slightest headache. So I needed coffee and like all reasonable people I went to the Dunkin Donuts because their coffee is THE BEST coffee anywhere! Starbucks can kiss my lilly white! But I digress... So I get in the l...

A Housewife's Dirty Confession...

I have Vaseline underneath my right index finger nail. No amount of soap and water seems to vanquish it. Sshhhhh. Don't tell anyone, K? Because that could lead to awkward questions. But I'll tell you what - today, just for shits and giggles, let's skip the questions completely and just go to the answers. And, GO. Projectile vomiting. One massive pile in the doctor's waiting room. Once in the car. Twice at home. Yes, that IS a lot of puke for a two year old. Anal suppositories. TWICE. No I am not honoring my pledge to lay off of the cosmo's for a while and fuck you for bringing that up after the day I've had. Did this make you smile? Or were you just envious that you didn't get to spend the morning pinning down a pissed off and puking two year old long enough to further enrage him by shoving a suppository up his ass? (thought so) Either way, feel free to click my HB smiley below. And, as always, if you're shopping around for funny blogs this is the pl...

Light a match!

You know, people are getting so touchy these days. I just read this news story about a THIRTEEN year old kid who got arrested. When I saw the headline I thought, "Man, this country is going to hell in a hand basket. What did this criminal mastermind DO, anyway?? Did he steal a car? Get his moms attention by throwing a cleaver at her head? Sexually assault his little sibling??" Noooo.... No, this kid farted in school. And then got arrested. Apparently I went to school with a bunch of felons and didn't even know it. Besides, have you seen what they feed these kids in school lunchrooms?? And "The Man" is going to blame intestinal distress on HIM??! Let's file this under "Give Me A Fucking Break, Please." The teacher said that he was purposefully farting and therefore disrupting the class. Plus? This little fucker turned off a few computers that his friends were working on. I think it would be far more incredible if you could find me a 13 year old who...
