Celebrate International Waffle Day with Free Waffles from Wafels and Dinges!
Today is International Waffle Day and Wafels & Dinges is celebrating. Instead of their traditional hour of free waffles they will be giving away FREE waffles, ALL DAY, but there’s a little bit of a catch…
Free waffles will be given out today only to those people who wear something YELLOW. Why yellow? Well, according to chief Wafelmeister, Thomas DeGeest. yellow is color of spring, the color of Wafels & Dinges and a color in the Swedish flag–where International Waffle Day originated.
Here are the official rules:
+ Must wear yellow piece of clothing
+ No swapping of shirts, scarfs or underwear etc. with other people in the street
+ Thou shall only come get 1 free waffle and will follow the honor system
+ Thou shall get 1 free wafel + 1 free topping – to avoid super long lines.
Lucky for us, W&D is going to be in midtown at their normal 46th street spot between 5th and 6th. Yellow clad freeloaders engage! As always, keep tabs on W&D via the ML Twitter Tracker for any last minute updates and changes.

I better go get some $5 t-shirt from H&M.
-
I’m Asian. Does that count?
-
It says clothing..not your skin color, you dumb asian. LOL j/k
-
I don’t know. It sounds smarter than buying a $5 t-shirt when you might as well just buy the waffle then.
And it’s not like I didn’t think about it too. I’m permanently wearing yellow but can’t take it off…

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAA
-
Awwww. That’s usually my joke. Props.

Does a yellow headband count……..damn…where the hell is that co-worker with her yellow shoes…must go find her and get a waffle!
-
im too far to go… but someone… somewhere… HAS to make a shirt out of yellow sticky notes and see if they accept it
:D
-
Brilliant!!!

Mmm Guinness.

I think green resembles more to Spring than yellow. Green is a sign of nature and budding leaves. Yellow? Leaves turn to this golden color in the autumn. IMO.

Spydr331 beat me to it; I was going to make a yellow tie out of my extra Post-It Notes…
-
do it! i cant! im on 25th

They replied to someone on Twitter that they can wear yellow gloves or socks. Guess we’ll find out soon whether that’s true or not
-
And their YouTube video says if you (male or female) are wearing a bikini, you get TWO free wafels. I’m sure they’d prefer a yellow polka dot one.
There wasn’t really a line to speak of an hour ago – the wafel was delicious. But now I can’t finish my Schnitzburger…
-
I have a subtle yellow stripe in my tie and I was able to get one – the line is pretty short right now.
-
so good!!!
I didnt wear any yellow but I was happy to pay for such a good waffle
Cool. Wish I wore something yellow. ;P
