Which frozen waffle brand is a favorite of Eleven in Stranger Things? Eggo is Eleven's favorite.
In Stranger Things, Eleven repeatedly eats Eggo waffles, making the frozen breakfast brand one of the show's most recognizable food references. The waffles become associated with her childhood, her difficult relationship with the outside world, and the small comforts she seeks while hiding from danger.
Eggo was created by the Dorsa family in California. Frank Dorsa developed a process for cooking, freezing, and packaging waffles for home preparation, and the brand introduced its frozen waffles in 1953. Kellogg Company acquired Eggo in 1968, years before the series premiered.
The show helped turn Eggo into a pop-culture symbol, but the brand was not created for Stranger Things and was not originally a product-placement partnership. The first season appeared in 2016, and Eggo's connection with Eleven soon became a major part of the brand's public identity. Fans sometimes remember the waffles as a general Stranger Things food, but they are specifically Eleven's signature favorite.
