Today is International Waffle Day, and while most people stop at syrup and butter, the internet is currently losing its mind over "savory" toppings.

A trending thread has listeners debating if these are genius or a crime against breakfast:

The "Waffle Florentine": Topped with poached eggs and hollandaise.

The "Spicy Kick": Sriracha-honey and green onions mixed into the batter.

The "Midwest Special": Peanut butter, bacon, and... wait for it... chili.

Others said:

I like cottage cheese and Mrs. Butterworth. 

Try carnitas (or pulled pork) and tomatillo-based salsa for an acidic component to compliment the fat and sweet

‘You’re doing the best you can mom and dad!': 21 Parenting laughs for witty mothers and fathers from Cheezburger.com. Time to do a little self-care and allow yourself to LOL at these memes. 

Me when my kids get hurt doing something I told him not to do - And Whose Fault is That??

Any other moms feel so overstimulated that you turn off the microwave when it gets to 00:01, just so you don't have to hear it beep??

Waiting for your mom to cook dinner but you realize you are the mom and have to cook the dinner

One Thing they don't tell you about having kids is just how often you have to get up from where you're sitting.

me: No.

Kids: Hmmm. I feel like maybe you're not completely committed to that no. I'm gonna ask you 852 more times and see.

It seems a little unfair that the people who want to go to bed have to put the people to bed who don't want to go to bed.

In Namibia, South Africa, a gang of crooks heard through the crook grapevine about a van that would be passing through town loaded with money. They snatched the van as its driver was making a delivery. And the story they had heard was true, the van was full of money. Unfortunately, it was old and shredded money no longer in circulation and heading for a recycling plant.

(I want to be in the crook grapevine)
