So yesterday at the office, it was officially Corn Dog Thursday. We have a GT Xpress 101, that is amazing by the way, and the recipe book has something in it for homemade corn dogs. Mike was gracious enough to stop by the store and pick up the necessary ingredients for us (corn bread mix,  hot dogs & ketchup). To be polically correct, we will protect the name of the brand. So lets just call it … Jeffy Corn Bread Mix.

Now sometimes flour can attract things that not everyone may want in their food….and this can be expected after an item has been sitting in your pantry for who knows how long, but not from a box of Jeffy Corn Bread Mix that you just purchased from the store!

As you may have guessed from the picture above, we indeed found boll weevils in the mix. Now that is frustrating because Mike had to make another trip to the store and we now had to wait on these delicious corn dogs!

This picture started as joke, with some quick “photoshopping” I was able to put together a new ad for Corn Dog Thursdays. Later on Mike called up Jeffy* to alert them to the problem we found in their mix, and forwarded this picture to them. Needless to say it made everyone’s day to hear the Jeffy customer service department laughing over speaker phone at the image clearly making fun of them. Everyone needs a little Corn Dog Thursdays in their life!

Today was pancake friday, and just to be on the safe side, we decided to go with the pancake mix that comes from a spray can. Surprisely good!
