Million dollar idea, up for grabs. Ready?...OMG, PANCAKE THERMOS™! →[More:]Tired of not being able to have pancakes for lunch because you're stuck at work? Me too! Well, with the Pancake Thermos™ you can bring your pancakes to work and they'll stay nice and hot until lunch. It looks just like a vintage hat box, but boy, it ain't a vintage hat box! Inside it's insulated walls sit your mouth-watering hotcakes. Just try and wait til lunch!

Your write-up is better than the pancake thermos could ever be.

It's all in the presentation...

So wait, when are the pancakes coming in the mail?

But, hellbient? How will I keep my syrup warm? Do I need to carry a separate thermos?

Warm syrup? Who the hell cares about warm syrup? Put it down your pants, that oughta keep it warm.
Jeez, ya freakin' pancake snob. You're just jealous because you didn't think of it, so you have to find something to truncate it's brilliance. That's no way to go through life, mike9322.
Pancakes for the people!!

Do I have to get up early enough to actually make the pancakes before leaving for work, or does the PANCAKE THERMOS™ mix and cook them for me somehow? I'd hit that for sure.

I was trying to play the part of dumb-infomercial-guy-who-asks-all-the-stupid-leading-questions-to-make-the-presenter-present-the-next-kickass-feature-of-the-product, but it didn't come across as I'd hoped.

I'm so misunderstood!

Oooh, largest apologies, Mike. Let's start again:
But wait! If you call in the next 73 years, you'll get a companion syrup thermos, for no extra charge. How much would you pay now?

dano - your question has touched upon the absolute beauty of PANCAKE THERMOS™! Of course you don't have to get up early to make pancakes! Just pour the batter into PANCAKE THERMOS™ before you leave for work and the THERMAL COOKING ENCLOSURE™ that's built into PANCAKE THERMOS™ actually heats up and cooks your pancakes WHILE YOU COMMUTE! It's that easy! How much would you pay now?!

posted by Hellbient 20 April | 13:04

Well, I'd expect to pay up to $75 in stores, but I'm really hoping you have a special TV offer.

posted by danostuporstar 20 April | 13:06

Now, all that sounds great, hellbient, but if you are anything like me (and I know you are!), you just can't quite get all the lumps out of your pancake batter! I stir and I stir but whisks just fall apart (*demonstrates obviously pre-broken whisk falling apart, feigns frustration*) and electric mixers are expensive! Is there anything PANCAKE THERMOS™ can do?

posted by mike9322 20 April | 13:13

mike9322, I was just about to mention those annoying lumps! I don't know a single person that doesn't hate them! Am I right?! Sometimes they make me just want to have a complete FIT! But then I don't. You know why? I'll tell you. Because PANCAKE THERMOS™ has a built-in whisker with the patented LRPMCD™ (Lump Removal Pattern Movement Configuration Design)! YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO SHIT™! JUST POUR IT AND S'MORE IT™! IT'S THE (say it with me) PAAAA-AAANCAKIEST™!!
That's it!

Oh, really?! We're done???
HOLD ON!! I DON'T THINK SOOOO!!

Ginsu knives? Can I get it with Ginsu knives??

Ooh. Ooh. My boyfriend wonders if it comes with a free PANCAKE BRIEFCASE??!?

The flexible plastic that you can get as cutting boards? Accordion style. Slide the pancakes into its individual compartment, add a handle, awesome.
