Pancakes in a can

[ostrich]

Warning: Not gluten free!





You shoot it out of the can like easy-cheese. I'm not creative enough to make this stuff up. I especially like the advertisement. Many LOLs.

My question is, if this stuff was GF, would you try it?

lol. I wouldn't. It doesn't quite look...nutritious...or real. It is organic though so I guess that's a point in its favor. I've never seen that stuff.

I don't think I would try it. I did laugh when I saw it though!

In my ingnorant, trust the gov't, stage of life when I ate just about anything in the grocery store because it had to be 'safe' stage, I probably would have tried it.

Now that I have done so much research on good food, would not touch it with a 10 foot pole.

Even though I am happy to see GF products come out for convenience, I read the label and discover that convenience isn't all that it is cracked up to be.

I simply wonder how many chemicals they had to pump into the batter. I mean, you need to throw it in the fridge, but still.

OTOH, their ingredients list looks pretty good. Seems like much of the same stuff you'd put in regular pancake batter.

Blech - no way would I ever try this! I hold the line at anything that needs to be propelled out of its package.

I read the ingredient list. It's not "over processed, chemical heavy crap food". It's just pancake batter in a can.

Just think, the "gluten eaters" in a mixed household can have pancakes without filling the air with wheat flour for the "gluten intolerants" to inhale.

Of course, you can also buy Bisquick Shake 'n' Pour pancakes, where you just add water to the container, shake it up and pour on the griddle - but they have a longer ingredient list, and they are not organic. They're probably cheaper than the Batter Blaster, though.

I'd defintely try them at least once, just for fun. (or for camping - kinda like "Jiffy Pop"!)

That's just silly!

And for the record - I would try it once for the novelty of the thing and then probably never do it again... you know, just to say I did.

I'm with Fid. I'd probably try it once, just to claim I tried it. The can theoretically serves 8 people, which means it probably actually serves 3-4 (especially if you make giant pancakes). So it'd probably be way too expensive to buy on a regular basis.

However, I do think the PB&J slices (along with break-and-bake cookies) are just insane. If you don't have enough time to make a friggin sandwich for your kid you have bigger issues to worry about.

There are no gluten eaters in my house so sprayable pancake batter doesn't benefit me.

While this product may include no chemicals most in this genre do. I think products of this nature just promote laziness in the kitchen and generations that will never learn to cook for themselves. It saddens me that some people specifically children will never know what a good pancake tastes like.

In high school I had to travel all over the place for various competitions. Those Lunchables come in pretty handy when you're spending +10 hours on a bus. And they're healthier than candy, which is what most people brought.

(Just playing devil's advocate.)

BTW, has anybody actually seen those PB&J things? They're about the size of your palm. Smallest sandwich EVAR. So between the cost, the size, and the amount of chemicals, why wouldn't you just make a sandwich?

Os,
You're right. Lunchable are handy in a convenience/fast food sort of way. But, a lunch bag full of food would have been just as effective.

I can not believe that they actually make pancakes in a can! What is the world coming to when people can buy everything premade. Isn't that a bit lazy? Honestly, you don't even know what all is in that stuff.
