NaBloPoMo: Batter Baster (TM)

There's a line in Working Girl that says, essentially, "Never underestimate what the American people will put in their mouths." And perhaps that was never more true than today. Please look, won't you, at an item I saw in the grocery store earlier this week: Batter Blaster. If you can't get to the link, or can't be bothered to click on the link, allow me to describe it to you. It's pancake mix in a can, a can much like a Reddi Wip can or even-- dare I make the comparison-- an Easy Cheese can. (HORK) When you go to the website, a 1950's-esque jingle sings out, "Make a better breakfast faster: Batter Blaster!" And what's that? It's organic! That means it's good for you, right? As long as you can get over the stomach-churningness of it all, that is.
