Krusteaz Pancake Pause Box - Lock Up the Phones and Enjoy Breakfast!
Smartphones have been around a long time now, so maybe you do or don't remember a time before them, when everyone gathered around the table to enjoy breakfast and... read the newspaper or watch television? When they weren't intentionally distracting themselves with anything else, they sometimes talked too. Well, now you can try to capture the good old days around the breakfast table, minus the newspaper, by locking up everyone's obnoxious smartphones first in this cool new Krusteaz Pancake Pause Box. Sorry, tablets, VR headsets, and televisions won't fit, but you might be able to squeeze in a few smartwatches or smart glasses.
On October 15, 2026, at 12 pm ET, Krusteaz, the famous pancake mix company, will give away these limited-edition smartphone lock boxes/phone safes and a year's supply of Krusteaz Buttermilk Complete Pancake Mix (eight 32 oz boxes)... for FREE! It's first come, first served, so expect these to go fast... or, most likely, instantly.
It's a fun way to tune back into reality every morning as you enjoy a big, hot, fluffy stack of pancakes while the worthless, distracting notifications stack up in a dark, locked box, preferably placed in another room, outside, or as far away as possible. Out of sight, out of mind. Personally, I would like to fill this box up with phones and drown it in a river, but then I'd have to deal with blood-curdling screams, the police, phone rehab, social media (losing their minds!), and sinister sneering looks the rest of my life. It might be worth it for a year's supply of pancakes, though.
Note: I've had 7 pointless notifications since I started writing this... and, hmm, now I really want pancakes. 📱🥞😋
