Welcome to this nostalgic discussion about Aunt Jemima Waffles and their unforgettable mascot, Wallace the Waffle-Whiffer. While some may have forgotten him, Wallace left a lasting impression on those who encountered his waffle-loving antics. He belonged to a special group of food mascots known for their wild enthusiasm, just like Sonny the Cuckoo Bird and the Trix rabbit.

In Wallace's case, his passion was all about Aunt Jemima Waffles. Oh, how he adored those golden, crispy delights! However, there was one obstacle in his quest for waffle goodness: Professor Goody. This tricky character always seemed to keep his waffles to himself, unwilling to share. But here's the thing—outsmarting Professor Goody turned out to be a piece of cake (or should I say, waffle) for Wallace.

Wallace the Waffle-Whiffer made his debut in 1971, and back then, he was described as part Aardvark, part road-runner, and a whole lot of mischief. Bill Scott lent his voice to bring Wallace to life, while Daws Butler provided the voice for the crafty Professor Goody.

My sisters were huge fans of Wallace the Waffle-Whiffer, and even into the 1980s, they would reference him and his catchy "waffle waffle" catchphrase. It was through their admiration that I became familiar with this delightful character and eventually fell in love with him myself, especially when I discovered older commercials featuring Aunt Jemima Waffles.

If you've never had the pleasure of meeting Wallace, get ready to be entertained! Sit back, relax, and enjoy some of these classic commercials featuring the waffle-loving hero. You're in for a real treat as you witness Wallace's adventures unfold before your eyes.

So, prepare yourself to be whisked away into a world of waffle wonder as we celebrate the joy and excitement brought to us by Aunt Jemima Waffles and the lovable Wallace the Waffle-Whiffer. Get ready for some wafflelicious fun!

Remember when Mickey Mouse decided to commit suicide?
Unless you lived in the 1930s or are a fan of vintage comic strips you might not be aware of the attempted Mickey Mouse suicide.
