History of the Northwest Flapjack Society
By our Founder
What started as a dream and a daub artificial maple syrup has grown into the juggernaut that is the Northwest Flapjack Society. From our humble beginnings, it has grown into a multi-national organization of millions. And each day, more join the growing ranks. It seems like only yesterday a rag-tag group of hungry suburbanites were hankering for something different, something simple, and something round. Tired of pancakes covered with Mrs. Butterworth’s (no offense intended to Mrs. Butterworth or her glistening brown bottle shaped body…yum) the intrepid adventurers collectively decided, “enough!” Thus began an earnest search for meaning in this cold, unforgiving world, and the perfect breakfast food. Despite several false starts and unexpected diversions, like the Woody Woodpecker marathon on Cartoon Network that threatened to end the adventure almost before it began, the search pressed on.
After trying filling but less than satisfying alternatives like crepes and pancakes the small band stumbled upon hotcakes. “This is it!” thought the crew, but alas they quickly learned that hotcakes were simply pre-formed disks of rubbery batter churned out in sweatshops all across Southeast Asia, flash frozen, and delivered to McDonalds ® all throughout the nation.
Disappointed but not discouraged, they forged ahead. Forging ahead consisted of going to Wikipedia. Engrossed in a long entry about pancakes, our founding father saw it. Eureka! Flapjacks! Buried two-thirds the way through the 4,898 word entry the nirvana of breakfast (and quickly becoming an anytime treat) was found.
Our founder whipped up a batch of flapjacks right then and there and called the other explorers to come over for the taste of a lifetime. Of course by the time they arrived the stack of flapjacks had already been consumed. They are THAT good. But a second batch was made and thus began the Northwest Flapjack Society.
You don’t have to settle for pancakes anymore, flapjacks are becoming available throughout the land. And don’t believe Wikipedia that says they are only available in the United States and Canada. You can also get them in Luxembourg. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the NFS, flapjacks will soon be available globally.
Won’t you join us and help bring the deliciousness that is the flapjack to all?
