Totes Amazeballz Batter Blaster

I am calling this an "evolutionary" post. Basically how this post "came to be" was both a game of telephone and batting ideas around with fellow bloggers.

In November I wrote a RFF post where I exclaimed that the word "Totes" drives me insane! Then in January I went on a rant about the "E" word. A fellow blogger suggested that AMAZEBALLS should be the new "E" word for 2012.

Well guess what happened? A one box cereal was created by Kellogs called "Totes AMAZEBALLS!"

From the ridiculousness of this, I thought I had seen it all. Oh no, I was WRONG! It gets worse....

Ready?




Its pancake mix in an aerosol can, and sprays out just like whipped cream. After all of the technological advancements our species has made, has something finally epitomized the Snuggy? If our species were to die off today, would pancake mix in an a spray can be remembered as our greatest technological achievement?

When I was down in DC this past weekend, I tried to find some, but struck out. We were searching in the powdered pancake section, where it actually lives in....

Ready?

The dairy section next to the ricotta cheese. Obvious place, right?

So I tried some this morning after my run.....

I know how to flip pancakes. I know how much butter is needed and usually when it is time to flip.

Batter Blaster left much to be desired. Then again, what was I expecting out of a spray can full of pancake mix?

At least I didn't buy a 10 pack case of it off Amazon.com. And FYI, Whole Foods apparently sells the organic version of this stuff. Organic spray can pancake mix? Doesn't that scream WRONG WRONG WRONG?!?!?!?!

Save your pennies and make your own from scratch. It ain't worth the $$$!!!

  2. Amazeballs? Seriously? That pancake in a can looks like a decent idea if you're camping or something. You should try it in your waffle iron...

  3. Holy shit is that cereal box amazeballs. WTF is on that dudes head? Is it a helmet? Is his head a mushroom? And why does the mushroom helmet have eyebrows?

    And from the box, new word of 2012: SCHHHHWEET!

  5. Bwhahaha... Seriously that looks like a photoshopped box if I've ever seen one. How does that ever make it through a test panel? Oh my.

  6. That cereal box looks scary, but maybe not as scary as the spray pancake mix.

  10. For one of the first times in my life I am silent. I don't even know what to say about that. WTF is wrong with people? Can they be so lazy as to not add milk to flour and baking powder and baking soda and come up with a batter? Drop in some fruit or chocolate chips and your done. WTF people?

  11. Pancakes are the easiest. Even if you just get the "just add water" - it probably has 5 less chemicals in it than the mysterious / innovative spray can. But c'mon, even I can make pancakes from scratch!

  12. I have nothing on this post. You took it to a level w/ that cereal box... and then SOMEHOW took it UP a notch w/ that god awful invention. I mean, cheese in a can tastes like donkey shit (... don't ask) how can anything good come from an aerosol can?

  13. I think I am speechless on this one as well!

  14. ^ I'm not! You could probably find a bottle cage to hold the Baby Batter Blaster and rig up your waffle iron to your aero bars. Attach a battery pack and become: (wait for it)...

    ... keep waiting...

    ... hold it... hold it...

    ...almost there...

    ...got it! Nope, lost it!...

    ...hold it... hold it...

    al-most... there...

    BEHOLD!

    FOR THE FIRST TIME FOR THE LAST TIME IN YOUR LIFE UP TO THIS POINT IN TIME IN YOUR LIFE.

    YOU.

    ARE.
