Talk:Eggo

Untitled
"Because of the egg flavor, customers called them "Eggos". Eventually the name became synonymous with the product and, in 1955, the Dorsa brothers officially changed the name to "Eggo""

Could anyone please confirm what the original name was? was it Froffle? (SandsSasha (talk) 12:01, 12 March 2020 (UTC))

Clarification of final line - or removal?

" In May 2017, Kellogg's sells Eggo Waffles to Brynwood Partners such as Juicy Juice. "

What does this mean... buyout? distribution? Their cafeteria use? ... what???

Eggo Suit Man? Anyone know if this is true? I wasn't able to find any information backing this up, but I think it's important to note that the addition of this section was made at the same time as many other nonsensical edits to this article. Should it be removed? Ryanlintelman 03:13, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

i have seen the ads,eggo suit man is real.

Eggo is a given name. It originates from Friesland (a northern province from the Netherlands) and is an abbreviation for Egbert. It is a medieval name, but still in use. I know, because it my first given name. So, besides for the North American Octasphere, in the rest of the world Eggo is just a boys name.

This article is full of unsourced trivia. I will be removing whatever I cannot verify online by tomorrow afternoon. Burntsauce 20:11, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That verymuch needed doing. While much shorter, the article is now much better. (I'm only responding 6 months later) i kan reed 02:48, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

However, Aunt Jimima has launched an all out war against Eggo for the rights to produce the frozen waffle varieties, with many employee causalities reported from both companies. Tragically, it has been not given media attention, though it has been known in the frozen breakfast industry as "The Great Waffle War of 1999." Since then, U.N. jurisdiction has been implemented to create a cease fire. Now, the U.N. checks each blueberry variety of waffles for blue potassium cynanide and toxic methylsulfonamides to prevent further casualties.

LEGGO MY EGGO
This iconic slogan deserves a section, if only for the huge list of pop culture references to it. TV shows, for example, seem to love to title episodes with puns of this phrase.

Hell, the official website for Eggo's is leggomyeggo.com. 68.8.99.245 (talk) 04:16, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Go Leafs Go
While, as a leaf fan I find the recent waffle throwing at Leaf games humourous, I don't believe it causes shortages of Eggos significant enough to put on Wikipedia. Just from a factual standpoint, not a fan standpoint! If anyone objects, feel free to comment. Thanks! Go Leafs! Thew ent dan (talk) 04:14, 22 December 2010 (UTC)

New picture?
Does anyone have a better picture to upload? Maybe one of a box, or a different waffle even? The current one is kind of...gross looking. Zaldax (talk) 13:32, 31 July 2012 (UTC)

Cherry for a flavor of Eggo waffles
Do not know if they ever made a flavor for cherry Eggo waffles?

The invention of the mass produced and frozen waffle
Regarding the History of Eggo waffles, the implication is that the frozen waffle was invented by the makers of Eggo. I would suggest you add something about who invented the frozen waffles - back in 1951 or 1952. Abraham "Sonny" Lustig sold quick frozen, mass produced frozen waffles under the brand name "NIFTY", in Western and Central New York. His main factory was in Brockport, NY. I have an advertisement in the "Morning Herald" of Gloversvile and Johnstown, NY from 1952 where these Nifty Waffles were sold in Great A & P grocery stores, among others.50.48.175.184 (talk) 20:34, 9 November 2018 (UTC)Robert S.

The Froffle Problem.
In my last edit to the Eggos article, I pulled from the previously added source of the Oxford Encyclopedia of Food and Drink in America Vol 1, and added that Eggos were originally named "Froffles" as the article states. However. This article, as far as I can tell, doesn't cite a source for this name change. The oldest mention of Froffles in a waffle context that I can find is 2003, on a site that *also* doesn't cite its sources.

If we can find any confirmation on the Froffles name, I would be ecstatic, but I'm increasingly worried that it's just a pop culture fun fact type of deal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PlogChogVIII (talk • contribs) 05:30, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
