Yeah, that one is super terrible. I think someone tried selling easy pancake mix in a bottle, and then idiots said to themselves "I could do that!"


There it is. It is an expensive and wasteful product, but for people who find mixing their own pancake batter is just too hard, this lets you have fresh pancakes without the struggle. It has a legitimate use case: useless idiots.


DIYing makes no drat sense at all. You have to wash an old ketchup bottle. Mix up your batter and then try to pour gloopy batter through a funnel, or else mix it in the bottle and instead try to pour dry pancake mix into the bottle, and these hack pictures always show a bottle with a pretty narrow top. Then you get to make like 6 pancakes. Do you throw out the bottle? Wash it (I hope you don't let it dry out before you try to wash it)? Or just throw the goopy bottle in the fridge and hope it doesn't go moldy before you try to use it again. Whatever you do you've probably made a bigger mess and gone to more work than just mixing your batter in a bowl.

Maybe for kids? You could put the batter in a bottle and then let your kids make their own pancakes themselves? I don't know, any kid that can't use a bowl probably shouldn't be using the stove.

They used to sell premixed pancake batter in milk carton-style packages and my brother and I loved that poo poo. When we were kids. With lazy parents who didn't like to get up on the weekends and make us pancakes.

No no no you scrublords. You just cram the ingredients in there, duct tape the bottles to your hips Hopalong Cassidy style and twerk them into a smooth batter as the pans heat up and Presto I mean Walla double barrel batter barrage you can easily keep four to eight pans wet with this setup. The ketchup odeur is gone by the seventh or eighth batch btw, wash or no. Walla motherfuckers, on the floor.

I use those pourable cartons for egg whites, because gently caress separating eggs when I just want some scrambled whites or an egg-white omelet.

Oh I dunno I haven't worked there since 2012. Back then they used real eggs for the round ones, precooked and shaped eggs for folded, and the carton for scrambled.

When I worked in a Mcdonalds in Canada back in 1991 we used real eggs. People claimed we used powdered eggs or some kind of egg mix back then too. I don't know if they've ever used egg substitute, or if it is just inconceivable to the human mind that they might be using anything natural so people keep assuming it must be egg substitute.
