Eggo is a name that instantly comes to mind when you think of frozen waffles. The brand is famous for its catchy phrase “L’eggo my Eggo” and has captured both children’s and adults’ love with its toaster-friendly waffles. Recently, they’ve even explored adult flavors with a boozy waffle-inspired cream with Sugarlands Distilling Co. But let’s get back to what Eggo does best: making delicious waffles. And they’ve just brought out six new flavors to the freezer aisle.
Eggo is also introducing several other exciting flavors this spring. Their lineup now includes Cinnamon Churro Waffles, Dark Chocolate Chip Thick and Fluffy Waffles, Mixed Berry Pancakes, and Chocolate Chip Belgian Style Street Waffles.
The highlight of Eggo’s new offerings is a series called “Fully Loaded” waffles, the most protein-filled option Eggo has ever created. These waffles come with 10 grams of protein for every two waffles, combining a hearty meal with delicious flavors such as Chocolate Chip Brownie and Strawberry Delight.
The Fully Loaded Chocolate Chip Brownie waffles come with a rich chocolate batter and loads of chocolate chips. On the other hand, the Fully Loaded Strawberry Delight has a batter infused with strawberry flavor, offering a fruity twist.
These new waffles are especially aimed at parents of hungry teenagers who need a satisfying breakfast. Alongside the waffles, Eggo is doing something special for shoe enthusiasts. They’re rolling out Eggo Fully Loaded Kickes designed by Dominic “The Surgeon” Ciambrone and SRGN. These waffle-inspired shoes will be released on Urban Necessities’ website on May 17 at 12 p.m. EST for $150 a pair. Purchasing these will help a good cause because all proceeds will go to No Kid Hungry to provide meals for children in need.
The shoes might require a little wait, but Eggo’s new Fully Loaded waffles are available right now at stores around the country.

The Story of Eggo Waffles
The name Eggo is synonymous with breakfast. For many, it brings back memories of warm, toaster-ready waffles hitting the table on busy school mornings. But did you know that Eggo waffles weren’t always called “Eggo?” The story starts in San Jose, California, in 1932, when three brothers, Tony, Sam, and Frank Dorsa, created a way to make waffle batter that could be dried and stored. They initially called their company the Froffle Company, selling the mix to restaurants and the general public.
In 1953, the Dorsa brothers made another breakthrough: the first frozen waffle. These waffles, initially named “Froffles,” quickly became popular for their convenience and taste. However, people kept saying the waffles tasted “eggy.” This led to the company changing the name from “Froffles” to “Eggo” in 1955. The catchy name stuck, and Eggo waffles became a breakfast staple in homes across America.
