WTH??

It’s crippling. The frustration of how twisted everything has gotten. I mean, I can’t remember a time where I was absolutely confused about how things evolved. It is mind-blowing that we are even in this situation. I simply can’t wrap my head around the fact that my local Sam’s hasn’t carried my favorite item – Premier Protein Frozen Pancakes – in months. It’s horrifying, right?

Oh, did you think I was talking about something else? Well, while society is as twisted as a pretzel, I am giving my energy to the reality that I can’t get my pancakes. They are my favorite go-to snack. I layer them with peanut butter and apple slices which makes them oh so delicious. But here is the real reason I am pissed. My youngest has no problem getting them where he lives. Not a shortage in sight. Ugh. Sure, I know there are bigger problems than this, but this is a food emergency. It reminds me of when Costco didn’t have my favorite brand of chicken strips during the pandemic. I suffered for months until I found an alternative. Those were dark times, friends.

Since I want to be part of the solution instead of the problem, I will be seeking bulk buying from my youngest son. Do you think it will look odd when his cart is full of my delicious pancakes? Who cares if they think he has some pancake obsession as long as I get my fluffy treat. And while many reading this will say that I just need to find a different brand, I will stop you right there. These pancakes have an amazing amount of protein. The more protein I eat, the more fat I burn. Plus, the other brands don’t even come close to the deliciousness that these provide my taste buds. I bought some Eggo waffles as a substitution and let me just say that I won’t be uttering the words, “Lego my Eggo”, because they taste like cardboard and have zero protein. I haven’t actually tasted cardboard, but this is what I imagine it would taste like.

I apologize if my vulnerability makes you uncomfortable. It was imperative that I be honest in this particular area of concern. There is confidence that this too shall pass, but I hope it passes with an overabundance of those pancakes because they are my addiction. Hello, I am Allison and I am a pancake snob.
