Eggo French Toaster Sticks - Cinnamon

Boy, do I have some complaints! I went to the store looking for some frozen French Toast, and come to discover, there is none anymore. What!? So apparently the renamed Pearl Milling Company had a recall about 6 years ago and never resumed making french toast after that. They were my go-to! My childhood toast! And there weren't any store brand options or Eggo options, either. The next best thing, I guessed, would be french toast sticks, but they didn't have Murray's, just these Eggo french toastER sticks. I had assumed the -ER was for, like, copyright or something, but now I'm thinking it's because these aren't french toast at all, just batter in bread form that you put in your toast-er. No egginess, fluffiness, no nothin'. They taste exactly like a nookless Eggo waffle, which makes sense, but I yearned for French Toast and not waffle!! (Also, the appeal of a waffle is surely the nooks.) These are also marketed as Eggo For Kids®, which (a) haha @ me, but also, (b) is sensible because all my whiny "i hate any flavor or texture" adult kid friends would probably eat these. I guess it's good there is a breakfast equivalent of dinosaur chicken nuggets, and they are nut-free and have a cute lady toast mascot, so it's not bad, it's just I'm baffled by the total and sudden disappearance of what I considered one of the big 3 frozen breakfast bread products. Now the freezer is full of Jimmy Deans and Protein Mini Waffles. The 1900s are over for real, I guess.  

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 6/10
Crisis of lost youth: 9/10
