What food does Eleven especially enjoy in Stranger Things?

Eleven especially enjoys Eggo waffles in Stranger Things.

The frozen waffles become one of the character’s most recognizable food associations after Mike Wheeler hides them for her during the first season. Eleven has spent much of her life inside Hawkins National Laboratory, so ordinary childhood treats are unfamiliar and significant to her.

The waffles also help communicate Eleven’s changing relationship with the outside world. Food, clothing, friendships, and ordinary domestic experiences all become symbols of the childhood she was denied while being studied by Dr. Martin Brenner.

Eggo waffles were an existing American breakfast brand rather than a fictional product created for the series. Their repeated appearance made them strongly associated with Eleven and Stranger Things, and the connection became one of the show’s most widely recognized pieces of product placement.
