The Netflix-subscriber community (and undoubtedly some pirates) went bonkers this weekend with the season two release of last year’s sleeper hit Stranger Things. Fittingly, the food at last week’s Hollywood premiere was catered by none other than an Eggo waffle truck.
At the premiere, the 80’s-themed Eggo waffle truck was hawking waffles with various toppings that Kellogg claims “complement” each individual episode of the show. Sources say that fans and celebs alike were chowing down on waffles like the Demogorgon chowing down on Barb (#JusticeForBarb).
If you don’t understand the Stranger Things-Eggo waffles connection, what you need to know is that Eleven, the show’s mysteriously telekinetic supergirl, is obsessed with them. Like, willing-to-rob-a-convenience-store obsessed. Not that she knows better, but I digress.
