Do the waffles come with 7 different flavored syrups and a choice of ice-cream or cream?
Different flavored syrups? Ice cream?

We're talking about good old fashioned waffles here, not designer coffee.

Ask yourself this. Why do people use ketchup? To mask the taste of the fries. If the fries are good enough, you don't need ketchup.

The same goes for Waffle House. We could list numerous examples of things they do perfectly.

(Like their chocolate creme pie, or their hash browns, scattered, smothered and covered.)

I'm not sure what "on topic" means in this thread, since
the original post still confuses me.
At what monetary point would you choose money over a potential Mersenne prime that is less than 10 million digits. Would you settle for $1000? 25,000?

Off topic is the new on topic. We haven't had a completely on topic thread (that was interesting) since 2003.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm currently hoping tha M17,105,059 will
be prime. That would be worth $20.000/7.
But since the odds are 1 in 8 million, I would definitely take any
of the other offers now.(I'm hard up)

I suppose I'll have to go with M45 as it will cost me too much in airfare to fly over each time I'm in the mood for Waffles.

And if they're really good enough, they beg for some malt vinegar.

We actually put mayonnaise on our fries, but don't tell anyone.
