Inspired by the song “Do You Like Waffles?” by Parry Gripp, 7th-graders Calum Webster and Mason Conway set out to find which breakfast entrée is the ultimate way to start your day. The two conducted their scientific research by walking around the Palm Valley campus and asking people for their opinions: Waffles or Pancakes?
Addison chooses “waffles because they have little pockets that can hold syrup.”
Jaxon says, “Pancakes because they have the crispy edges.”
Sami likes “pancakes because they are so fluffy and soft.”
Max prefers “waffles because they are pancakes with abs.”
Ben likes “pancakes more because they have aura.”
John says, “Pancakes because I eat them more.”
Elizabeth “prefers a flat breakfast”–so pancakes for her.
Morgan likes “waffles because they’re fluffier.”
Mason and Calum weigh in . . .
Mason: My tastebuds tell me that pancakes taste like cardboard and waffles taste way sweeter. Waffles have a nicer nexture and have a little bit of give with a slightly crunchy outside unlike their counterpart.
Calum: I believe that waffles are way better than pancakes. Waffles have places to hold syrup, and they are so much fluffier.
At the end of the day, pancakes won, but, with Mason’s and Calum’s votes, waffles would have won. So, the boys have answers to the song “Do You Like Waffles?” but not the way they wanted. It is fine because, according to the two of them, people will soon see the beauty of waffles over pancakes.
