She Treads Softly: Stop the Cheez Waffies madness.

Stop the Cheez Waffies madness.

With all of the books I've reviewed since this blog began you would think the main reason people stumble upon She Treads Softly would be through the name of a book. Although that's true, I'm embarrassed to note that "Cheez Waffies" still remains one of the top searches that bring people here. It's time to stop the madness.

I have blogged about Cheez Waffies several times. The first time I was simply talking about the search for them.... for a family member after we moved back to the Midwest. Then we had a relative from the east coast visit and bring us some Cheez Waffies here and here.

My last post about them was an open letter to Wise Foods. It was not a serious letter. It was supposed to be a joke. I still have people commenting or emailing me to tell me where to get Cheez Waffies, or letting me know that they are going to be selling them online.

You know what? This is going to be hard for you Cheez Waffies addicts to hear, but I don't care. I don't crave Cheez Waffies. I never loved them. I'm not scouring the internet looking for places to buy them. Please, no more hints or tips about where I can buy Cheez Waffies... unless you represent Wise Foods and are informing people about expanding the Cheez Waffies sales territory back into the Kansas City area. Thank you for your cooperation.

Lori L said...: LOL! If they ever come back to the local stores, I will find them. I'm NOT going to be buying them online or off someone's e-bay store for The Snack King. He is perfectly capable of finding other snacks; he's not called "The Snack King" for nothin'.; January 28, 2009 at 10:49 AM

John Updike's six rules for reviewing:

1. Try to understand what the author wished to do, and do not blame him for not achieving what he did not attempt.

2. Give him enough direct quotation--at least one extended passage--of the book's prose so the review's reader can form his own impression, can get his own taste.

3. Confirm your description of the book with quotation from the book, if only phrase-long, rather than proceeding by fuzzy precis.

4. Go easy on plot summary, and do not give away the ending.

5. If the book is judged deficient, cite a successful example along the same lines, from the author's oeuvre or elsewhere. Try to understand the failure. Sure it's his and not yours?

To these concrete five might be added a vaguer sixth, having to do with maintaining a chemical purity in the reaction between product and appraiser.....Review the book, not the reputation.... Better to praise and share than blame and ban. The communion between reviewer and his public is based upon the presumption of certain possible joys in reading, and all our discriminations should curve toward that end.
