Has a very unique test and I liked it very much. I have not seen it for a couple of years, and hoping Trader’s Joe’s will have it again !

The waffles themselves are your typical frozen waffle but the people you share them with can make all the difference. Find joy in the little things!
From What’s Good at Trader Joe’s
“I grabbed my waffle and bit into it. Typical plain freezer waffle with some slightly sweet mango pureed in. Nothing too special. But after all the recent and outside worries and inside day-to-day stress…I needed that joy. So dang it, I pretended that was the tastiest waffle I’ve ever had, and let out a big, goofy, happy “YUM!”
What followed: giggles, little voices letting out their own big, goofy YUMs, silly sound effects. In short, one of the happiest breakfasts a dad could ask for with his two young daughters. All three of us were in the moment, and it all seemed so…real.
One of the most glaring facts of life is, no matter how much precaution and safety we try to bubblewrap ourselves and our loved ones in, is that anything can be taken away from us at any time, without warning, and there’s not a single damn thing any of us can do about it. Whether it’s health or relationships or people or possession, it can all be gone so fast. It only seems unfair when it happens to us, but we all fall under this burden.
We can choose to be ignorant of this, to be paralyzed of it…or to acknowledge it, and to live the best we can with what we have. I urge the third option, and to make it easier: find joy. Even if it’s in something small like a child’s delighted exclamation for having mango waffles for a second morning in a row (“HOORAY FOR MANGO WAFFLES!!!”). This is the good part of life, if we’re willing to be open to it, if we can allow ourselves to be surprised by joy amidst all the humming strife. That is what is real.
Please find something, anything, that makes you as joyous as these waffles made my kids and me.
Breakfast and a life lesson for $2.49. Good deal.”
