Hey l'eggo my Eggo! -updated-


The kids and I did a taste test with Eggo Blueberry Waffles VS. Walmart blueberry waffles. First off you have to know that the Eggos come with 10 per box and the Walmart brand only comes with 8 per box. I would love to tell you the cost difference between the two but of course I have misplaced the receipt. Darn it!! That was sorta an important part.

**Found the receipt! Eggos, box of 10 for $1.46. Walmart brand, box of 8, $1.22**

The boys said they would eat either one. The Eggo has more blue specs of faux blueberry but was not as crunchy. My boys preferred the crunchy Walmart waffles.

Just from appearance the Walmart brand looks more "homemade". It has a toasted look.

Waffles are not know as health food. The nutritional value for the two was surprisingly different. While the Walmart brand looks more homemade it also contains more calories and fat. The Walmart brand also contains a percentage or two more carbohydrates and sugars then the Eggos. The only thing the Walmart brand had over the Eggos was cholesterol. The Walmart brand has 5mg verses the Eggos at 15mg of cholesterol.

So, taste and texture winner would be Walmart. Number per box and nutritional value would go to Eggos.

It sorta a mute point overall. Waffles are empty. Add some fresh fruit and some protein to make it worthwhile.
