Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
I was so excited about this Japanese Cloer model 1611waffle iron that I saw on Inventor Spot today. I thought that someone finally made a waffle iron that creates heart shaped waffles (even though this one is supposed to be in the form of a cherry blossom).Then it occurred to me that this could not possibly be the first flower/heart shaped waffle iron out there. (You'll have to forgive my ignorance of waffle irons, but they're just not something I put a lot of thought into.) I looked around and, sure enough, there are plenty of flower/heart shaped waffle irons. You can even get a Hello Kitty waffle iron!
While there are some nice design features on this new model, Inventor Spot shouldn't be pimping it like there's nothing else like it in the world. Yes, the waffle iron is stored vertically so it takes up less counter space, but who keeps a waffle iron out when they're not using it anyway (except someone who uses it every day, of course)? I wonder if Inventor Spot knows that this new Cloer model isn't the first flower shaped waffle iron?

They are quite thin, not crisp, often contain cardamom, and are commonly eaten with either brown cheese or jam, sugar and sour cream.

Years later I found what looked like the same thing on a closeout shelf, but it turned out to be an ABC-123 waffle iron. It makes waffles that break up into squares that look like kids blocks. It's a bit of a joke with my now-teenage kids, but they never complain when I pull it out and make a batch of dads yogurt waffles.

I am french and my parents used this shaped waffles form for ages ! They were using it when I was 10 years old, that mean at least 25 years.
It's a quite traditionnal shape for me at least.
