The other night I was watching TV and saw a commercial for Bisquicks new Shake and Pour pancake batter. I thought to myself, "Wow, now that's something a camper can appreciate!"
When I go camping the thing I hate the most is cleaning up after making pancakes. With this new item you can just add water, shake, and pour out the pancake batter. No more mess from stirring too fast. When the bottle is empty, you throw it it in the trash, or recycle bin if you are watching your carbon footprint.
Not only does this make it easier to clean up, but now the kids can "help" make breakfast. I love finding things to help wear out my children, or atleast something for them to do so I'm not multi-tasking by making breakfast and making sure they aren't getting in to something they shouldn't.
My bet is that this bottle of pancake mix is a little over-priced. Easy enough, just get your own bottle with a cap, pour in the pancake mix, add water when you get to camp and start shaking things up.
Who knows what they'll come up next? Maybe shake up soda pop.
