In June of 2015, a bunch of seemingly able-minded people decided to buy boxed cakes mixes, frozen fast foods, and a few lovely Pike Place Market treats (including, we’re sad to report, some really good prosciutto) and run them through the waffle iron for kicks. They even shamefully stole a gluten-free Mexican casserole from their pregnant, gluten-free coworker and tried to waffle that bit of messy business. The vomitesque results may have scarred her for life.What you’re about to see is video footage from that dumb, dumb day. It should go without saying that we cannot be responsible for what happens to your waffle iron should you decide to get adventurous in a similarly ill-conceived manner. We can’t even offer you the precious slice of life you lost watching this thing. That, you’ll never get back. We can, however, put forth a little advice: if you bring your lunch to work, consider labeling it with a Sharpie. Because if there’s anything to be learned from this largely unfortunate incident, it’s that your coworkers may be a bunch of inconsiderate jerkfaces. Oh! And you can make an awesome Funfetti layer cake using the waffle iron. Like, really awesome. Like maybe you should try it awesome. So, okay, that we recommend. But leave the gluten-free Amy’s organic casserole out of it, won’t you please?
