Strange Food

Barbie for Breakfast, originally uploaded by esmereldes.

Sometimes the food aimed at kids can be really disturbing...

Despite the ridiculousness of printing barbie pictures on waffles, I would have passed these by easily were it not for the "limited edition" logo on them. That totally cracked me up! I mean, do we really need limited edition waffles? I know limited edition soda and candy is a big thing over in Japan (what with the special flavor kit kats - which I finally scored one of, btw, at a local grocery store. I am excited, just because I am curious to see what one tastes like. I got strawberry), but this seems less like that and more like baseball cards somehow. I think because the "limited edition" does not apply to the flavor, but to the pictures. And also, because there are 40 designs total (so the box says) but only 8 waffles per package. So, do you collect them all in a scrapbook that you keep in your freezer, do you think?

I do have to note that my waffles were very heavy on pictures of Theresa. I don't know who she is, but she converts to waffledom better than ol' Barbie does. Miss Barbie's golden hair and pale skin sort of just blend into the waffle. My "set" also included a bunch of logos, which are, as always, just the filler of any limited edition card set.

I'd love to link to some info on how these waffles are made, or why they thought it was a good idea to make them, but alas, I am not finding anything.
