Is it just me, or is this not the most revolting-sounding combination of flavors on the face of the planet?
Especially the way that TV ad introduces it, with that guy in the office listing the ingredients in it to his co-worker, hesitantly, sort of chuckling nervously in between each one:
"Cheddar cheese...."
"Egg...."
"Heh.... maple— ... —ffffffflavoredsausage..."
I swear I keep expecting him to say "maple-flavored sauce", which would be a pretty awful-sounding replacement for syrup. And "flavored" means (of course) that there's no actual maple in the thing. Not that that would necessarily make it worse.
"America Runs on Dunkin," says the ad. Yeah, well, there's no such thing as Dunkin Donuts out here on the West Coast, so whatever sense it makes for them to be advertising on cable out here, it serves no purpose for me but to deepen my gladness that I live where I do.
