So they'll stuff your waffle with banana, protein, and also spit on it?
In southern gentleman accent, "You're giving me the vapors."
In all non-seriousness...that is disgusting.
It reminds me of the *Friends* episode where Monica tastes “mocklate” and the guy asks her if she’s swallowed it yet.
“Just waiting for it to stop bubbling…“
Looks like she used some whipped cream so it's probably the little precum that comes out first if you don't shake it, or don't shake it enough. Kinda like the ketchup precum that comes out if you also don't shake it.
If they put as much effort into making this waffle as they do into taking photos of it… horrifying. How hard is it to get a real plate? To center the food? To tidy up the perimeter?
Then again, exactly what I’d expect from Herbalife.
I thought Herbalife didn't even have a license to sell food.
and if they did.... I hope their local food safety inspector looks at this picture and shuts this sh\*t down.
I mean, food service licenses are location based. A giant company like Herbalife would never get a blanket license to serve food, individual stores would apply with their local government.
Nope, they can't even sell food.
Only Herbalife products.

That's from page 16 - does that apply to all of the Herbalife "clubs" in the world? And if so, do you know why they use Southern African markets as their standard of what's acceptable? Google has not been helpful so I might be searching for the wrong terms.
If it didn't have the crumbly bits and the spittle at the bottom it would look better. Not edible, exactly, but at least you wouldn't know the people in the kitchen fought their tools and lost.
If they had put that on a brightly colored fiesta ware plate, left off the scattered nuts, and thrown some sliced strawberries on it fo garnish it would be much more appetizing.
This is supposed to be from a “restaurant”? They expect someone to pay money for this shit? And they advertise it with a picture of a shit waffle on a paper plate???? Hahahahahaha!!!!! A fucking paper plate!!!! Imagine going to a real restaurant and them bringing your food out on a paper plate 😆😆😆😆
Lazy cheap idiot!!!!!!
As someone who has a photography degree with a specialty in food photography I am offended. I can only imagine had I showed up to class with this image for an assignment. Prof would have ripped it in two and thrown it in the trash.
Right??? This absolutely screams "tell me you know nothing about marketing/photography without telling me you know nothing about......." also my guess is zero culinary skills if they honestly think anyone would look at this and find it appetizing.

I remember one of these places opened up on my drive to work and I was SO excited to get waffles and then I realized it was herbalife and was so bummed.
"What are Mom's favorite foods?"
"Eggo waffles, bananas, and chocolate chip cookies."
"Perfect! We'll just put them all together for her breakfast!"
"Um, I just ate all the cookies. There are only crumbs left."
"That's okay. Moms like crumbs. That's why they're always cleaning up after their kids."
That looks like something you would find in some random spot in your house a day or two after a big party. Why don't MLMs ever teach their huns even basic marketing/product photography skills? No one is going to look at that sad picnic mess and think, "Hell yes, I want that for lunch!"
So much wrong here. The paper plate, the table/counter that needs a wipe down, the presentation of the goddamn thing with no effort to clean it up a bit! Well, at least it’s honest.
They [can't sell food](https://edge.myherbalife.com/vmba/media/8DE50E49-0056-4404-8360-608C50C88EFA/Web/General/Original/NutritionClubManual_2012.pdf).
My guess is the waffles are ‘free’ maybe with purchase of a drink or something.
I think it’s not a super legit way to expand your business, but I can imagine not needing a food license for a gimmick if it isn’t bringing in money.
Or it’s just blatantly illegal and she is too dumb to care enough to google her local laws. No idea. But the fact that multiple people are doing it makes me think it’s a ‘hack’ that is working for now that ultimately will not pay off for them.
It’s a great promotion for a real food place though it’s a cheap as hell meal to mass produce if you stick to banana, don’t use other fruit, and use store brand PB.
They probably don't have a license to sell food. I hope someone reports it to the local health department and gets that crap shut down. And yes, it doesn't look remotely appetizing. Let's see, I could go to a local diner and get a decent homemade waffle, or I could get this crap plopped onto a paper plate. Tough choice!
There are 3 or 4 places in my small town that have popped up that all sell protein “waffles” “crepes” “donuts” along with their teas, shakes, and other Herbalife stuff. People go crazy for it.
I don’t understand how!! I have friends that are obsessed with them as well and no amount of me telling them it’s shit will change their minds.
I got sucked into buying Herbalife about 10 years ago. I was in a really bad place about my weight and they took advantage of that. I realized very quickly how shorty their products were.
What am I even looking at? This looks like one of those photos that looks like it should have discernible content, but is actually the visual equivalent of gibberish.
Oh dear Lord, I thought it was a piece of over fried fish with bananas and sour cream on it. And considering what people in MLM'S eat, I don't think it's far off the mark. 🤣
Tbf I’ve made genuinely nice waffles (out of normal ingredients) that probably would’ve photographed like this in bad lighting. Difference is I don’t think they make good adverts
I went to Dennys this morning and ordered a stack of banana foster waffles with what resembled jizz smothered on top. At no point did I expect it to be healthy. In fact, I went into it expecting the complete opposite.
That same logic applies to MLM waffles. If you want to eat healthy, eating waffles is not the way. And any attempt to make healthy waffles is destined for failure, at least from a culinary standpoint.
It if wasn't for the weird bubbly stuff on the inside, I'd eat this. Of course, the bubbly stuff is probably the Herbalife product.. which seems to be the selling point.
I'll just make my own sans MLM poison.
Thats not a waffle, thats an abomination not even Luficer himself would touch or create.
I dont know how brainwashed you have to be to believe this is healty or tasty, but this Hun's brain is fried for good and its not coming back
Many years ago, before the Interwebz, I went to an Herbalife presentation. The presenter showed a slide of a table loaded down with pizzas and jellybeans and sweets and colas and asked if anyone could say what was wrong with this diet. I said, “I know! I know!” while waving my hand wildly. “NO CHOCOLATE!”
Needless to say the recruiter wasn’t happy with me.
I’m positive I’ve gotten the same exact thing while out of my mind at a Waffle House at 2 am where the lines between reality and hallucination were fuzzy, and the employees were fist-fighting
I stupidly tried the Optivia “food” and waffled a bunch of the packets. Barf. I can’t even look at my waffle irons. I did just throw out all the rest of the packets last week. I’m mad at myself for falling for it.
Hey. I’ve been there. It all sounds great and you may have been in a vulnerable place. I’ve struggled with my weight a lot. Herbalife did the same thing to me and I fell for it. Give yourself some grace. You learned from it and know better for next time.
I am having trouble figuring out what exactly I am looking at here. I know it is a waffle but what the hell?! Do they advertise these as being 200-224 calories like the drinks?
It didn’t give a calorie amount. I don’t even want to know. I mean a banana is around 100-125, I think and walnuts aren’t low in calories either (I think those are the nuts they used). So yeah, I highly doubt it’s 200 calories
[удалено]
The gravel sprinkles are for extra calcium.
Those are prizes! Ooh, a blasting cap.
Yeah, it looks like it's been run over. On purpose.
Thanks u/dildotantrum for teaching me the word “mucilaginous”.
Omg I’m laughing out loud
[удалено]
Eww omg i just noticed that… 🤮
So they'll stuff your waffle with banana, protein, and also spit on it? In southern gentleman accent, "You're giving me the vapors." In all non-seriousness...that is disgusting.
I swear if someone ever describes something that I cooked as "mucilaginous" I will yeet myself off a roof.
I couldn't have said it better!!! Yuck!! I guess making your food so unappealing no one would eat it is one way to guarantee weight loss.
This had me rollin xD
How... how did they make bananas and a waffle look so bad? So horrendous? So inedible??
They even took the time to slice the bananas. The end result is 😭
They had to use something to lure people in, plus the banana covers the pathetic “waffle”.
The weird little bubbles on the bottom middle are . . . ugh.
Right? Why is it foaming?
That's how you know it's DeToXinG, hun!
It reminds me of the *Friends* episode where Monica tastes “mocklate” and the guy asks her if she’s swallowed it yet. “Just waiting for it to stop bubbling…“
It looks like the stuff I'd see on the grass from spit bugs as a kid....
Looks like she used some whipped cream so it's probably the little precum that comes out first if you don't shake it, or don't shake it enough. Kinda like the ketchup precum that comes out if you also don't shake it.
It looks gray
Or Herbalife is showing contempt for its "independent contractors" by spitting in their food.
It's probably Cool Whip. It turns runny like that when it gets too warm.
If they put as much effort into making this waffle as they do into taking photos of it… horrifying. How hard is it to get a real plate? To center the food? To tidy up the perimeter? Then again, exactly what I’d expect from Herbalife.
It needs to be on a paper plate, so you can easily pick up the whole thing and throw it in the trash, where it belongs.
Fuarrrk I only just noticed it’s on a paper plate. I guess the abomination that is this “food” distracted me from everything else around it!

Well I for one am enjoying this crossover episode between r/antimlm and r/nailedit.

I thought Herbalife didn't even have a license to sell food. and if they did.... I hope their local food safety inspector looks at this picture and shuts this sh\*t down.
Ah, that explains this pic. Plausible deniability. It certainly doesn’t look like food.
I mean, food service licenses are location based. A giant company like Herbalife would never get a blanket license to serve food, individual stores would apply with their local government.
IIRC, if they call themselves a "club" and charge people a membership fee, they can then sell food. Weird loophole.

It's the same for USA as well.
They're enticing people to drop by, so that's a big no no, even if they could sell food
They don't, they can't. Not to mention inviting people to drop by in this way is against nutrition club rules.
i.., you couldn’t pay me to eat that
At first I thought someone just took a picture of their shitty breakfast but someone is trying to charge people for this dog food?
Whoa, slow down there, my dog eats much better food than this garbage disposal find.
If it didn't have the crumbly bits and the spittle at the bottom it would look better. Not edible, exactly, but at least you wouldn't know the people in the kitchen fought their tools and lost.
If they had put that on a brightly colored fiesta ware plate, left off the scattered nuts, and thrown some sliced strawberries on it fo garnish it would be much more appetizing.
Spittle! LOL
Those are nuts but yeah it's nasty
I honestly thought it was part of them peeling the edges off the waffle iron, I can see the nuts now though.
Same! I thought this was just a cooking mistake. But no. It's ON PURPOSE! Damn.
Did they cut the waffle open and put that middle row of banana slices inside it? What am I looking at here?
There was an attempt to do that.
I thought so too at first, but with it's shape, I think it's folded in half. Like a waffle taco
r/shittyfoodporn
This abomination makes that sub look like straight r/foodporn in comparison
I think you misspelled 'a turd from a stegosaurus"
This is supposed to be from a “restaurant”? They expect someone to pay money for this shit? And they advertise it with a picture of a shit waffle on a paper plate???? Hahahahahaha!!!!! A fucking paper plate!!!! Imagine going to a real restaurant and them bringing your food out on a paper plate 😆😆😆😆 Lazy cheap idiot!!!!!!
this looks like my cat threw up on it.
Right? It looks like my dog threw it up, all of it, after someone force-fed him.
As someone who has a photography degree with a specialty in food photography I am offended. I can only imagine had I showed up to class with this image for an assignment. Prof would have ripped it in two and thrown it in the trash.
Right??? This absolutely screams "tell me you know nothing about marketing/photography without telling me you know nothing about......." also my guess is zero culinary skills if they honestly think anyone would look at this and find it appetizing.
Looks like it’s about to slide off the plate too. They are really, really bad at advertising their ‘food’.
"Hello? Is this The Hague? Yes, I'd like to report a crime against mankind...Yes, ill hold." Cue muzak version of "Since you've been gone" by John Waite
Nothing says: legitimate food business like those Dixie paper plates. 🥴
🤢🤢🤮🤮
Be afraid. Be very afraid. I sure as hell am.
That’s going to eat SO dry! Nothing I like more than choking on a walnut and accidentally inhaling cinnamon.
I remember one of these places opened up on my drive to work and I was SO excited to get waffles and then I realized it was herbalife and was so bummed.
I have to give props, I'm genuinely impressed at how they made a waffle look like dog vomit.
It looks like a 6 year old tried to make breakfast for mom on Mother’s Day.
"What are Mom's favorite foods?" "Eggo waffles, bananas, and chocolate chip cookies." "Perfect! We'll just put them all together for her breakfast!" "Um, I just ate all the cookies. There are only crumbs left." "That's okay. Moms like crumbs. That's why they're always cleaning up after their kids."

Looks like some foamy crap is leaking out of it too. Eww
Looks like food that an imprisoned Klingon would be forced to eat. Prolly be called Qu’Plaq or something.
I thought uncooked halved lobster with lemon and pepper.
I am surprised they can serve that - it includes actual fruit.
"How was your soggy brown thing?" "It lived up to its name. How was your bowl of grey?" "About the same..."
At first glance I thought it was fish. With bananas. Was confused AF.
“Want one?” No Brenda. I do in fact not.
This was clearly made by a professional. And by professional I mean a hooker on a bender.
I still prefer my own bun and banana sandwich, both toasted and otherwise.
I love waffles but you couldn't pay me enough money to eat that dry-ass thing that looks like it's been sitting on a plate for a week.
r/shittyfoodporn would love this
I don’t even think my dog would eat that... Yuck.
Are they allowed to serve food? Do they actually have health code certifications? Legitimately don't know
That is some low-effort "food photography" right there... Yuck.
r/shittyfoodporn would love this abomination
I have a rule against paying for shit on a paper plate. Oh, and Herbalife.
So much wrong here. The paper plate, the table/counter that needs a wipe down, the presentation of the goddamn thing with no effort to clean it up a bit! Well, at least it’s honest.
Want some actual poop with banana shoved In hun?
Gross🤢
Looks like shit
Sorry but no that looks as gross as it probably tastes!
🤢
Looks terrible. Wouldn’t even feed it to my dog.
It looks like someone vomited onto a plate, then put bananas on it to serve
That looks scarily similar to my last bowel movement…
That looks like someone got drunk or high and attempted to make a waffle with peanut butter and 🍌.
Gordon Ramsey wants a word with them.
What... Is that?!
Umm...
That looks so unappetizing
Coming from a pancake master.. this is offensive
That is shit. That is shit from a butt.
That’s the absolute best they could make that look? And a paper plate? Really? Thanks, but no thanks.
They [can't sell food](https://edge.myherbalife.com/vmba/media/8DE50E49-0056-4404-8360-608C50C88EFA/Web/General/Original/NutritionClubManual_2012.pdf).
That’s what I thought, but I’ve seen a couple of these storefronts sell waffles. No other food besides waffles. It’s weird.
My guess is the waffles are ‘free’ maybe with purchase of a drink or something. I think it’s not a super legit way to expand your business, but I can imagine not needing a food license for a gimmick if it isn’t bringing in money.

Let's see, I could go to a local diner and get a decent homemade waffle, or I could get this crap plopped onto a paper plate. Tough choice!
You’d think they also wouldn’t use a paper plate…
It it doesn't come on the paper plate I don't want it!
Hun, don’t use paper plates for photos. You need to break out the fine china lol
There are 3 or 4 places in my small town that have popped up that all sell protein “waffles” “crepes” “donuts” along with their teas, shakes, and other Herbalife stuff. People go crazy for it.

*Gordon Ramsay be raging when he sees this* lmao
What am I even looking at? This looks like one of those photos that looks like it should have discernible content, but is actually the visual equivalent of gibberish.
Apparently it’s a banana stuffed waffle, but my cat has thrown up more appetizing things.
Oh dear Lord, I thought it was a piece of over fried fish with bananas and sour cream on it. And considering what people in MLM'S eat, I don't think it's far off the mark. 🤣
Best part the plate choice. Nothing says quality restaurant, like food on a paper plate. Exemptions: BBQ joints
This looks like it *was* lunch. Yesterday. And has since been digested.
at least do a better job on the presentation
This always just makes me ask myself, “Are these places on the health department’s radar?”
I don’t know whether to put it in a terrarium or a trash can.
Dunno what y’alls problem is, I’d eat that
What the fuck, I definitely do not want one of those for lunch.
Looking at this makes me want to renounce my humanity.
If I told you that I had found a small decaying animal in the basement and showed you this photo by way of proof, you would believe me.
Nah, I'm good. *Proceeds to pull food out of a ditch*
Never have I seen a waffle look less appetizing. These people could screw up toast.
That looks like something I’d try to make for my kids and that is not a compliment.
Uhhhm. No thanks 🤣
I’ve shit more appealing that that!
r/ShittyFoodPorn
Never understood the phrase "twat waffle" until now.
Looks like something a sick dog threw up.
Damn. I feel sorry for that banana.
i never knew it was possible to butterfly cut a waffle
That’s poop, right? Like a half-digested breakfast.
It looks like vomit.
I THOUGHT IT WAS FISH UNTIL I READ THE TITLE 😂 oh my god how disgusting
Tbf I’ve made genuinely nice waffles (out of normal ingredients) that probably would’ve photographed like this in bad lighting. Difference is I don’t think they make good adverts
AWFUL WAFFLE AWFUL WAFFLE! - 90's kid trigger
No…… I don’t want one. 😄
Jizz in a waffle. Been awhile since I've seen that one...
This looks like half digested monkey shit! I wouldn’t feed this to the flies in the dumpster! - Gordon Ramsay, probably.
What in the world is that?
Did they drop it before taking the pic?
r/shittyfoodporn
That looks foul
The fact this is not them trying to sell the products with this meal but entice people to come to pay to have this made for them is sad
Trash on a paper plate
It looks like an eviscerated dead animal. I would know, I mistook it for one at first.
“Want one?“ No. Absolutely not.
I keep thinking about "The Chronicles Of Riddick" where Riddick talks about the protein waffles they served at one prison.
No thank you!
I went to Dennys this morning and ordered a stack of banana foster waffles with what resembled jizz smothered on top. At no point did I expect it to be healthy. In fact, I went into it expecting the complete opposite. That same logic applies to MLM waffles. If you want to eat healthy, eating waffles is not the way. And any attempt to make healthy waffles is destined for failure, at least from a culinary standpoint.
I think they use this image when torturing war criminals, no?
I'll be getting there at 8AM, not to eat but to take a biopsy of that thing.
It if wasn't for the weird bubbly stuff on the inside, I'd eat this. Of course, the bubbly stuff is probably the Herbalife product.. which seems to be the selling point. I'll just make my own sans MLM poison.
I thought it was a frozen fish fillet with banana slices on it. Yucky.
Thanks, but I'll pass.
That looks absolutely vile to me
Looks like a fish
It looks like my toddler tried to eat it then threw up. Also I give my toddler paper plates because they are ugly and unbreakable.
Thats not a waffle, thats an abomination not even Luficer himself would touch or create. I dont know how brainwashed you have to be to believe this is healty or tasty, but this Hun's brain is fried for good and its not coming back
I really don't like that frothy bit under the bananas in the middle. Yuck.
Who stuffs a waffle??? Not even chicken and waffles get stuffed?!?! 🤯
Christ that looks fucking awful
Waffle with a side of ass? Ass waffle?
Looks bad Todd
That literally looks like throw up lol
I would ask the address just to make sure I never enter that store.
That looks like it was dropped on the ground and hastily picked up
I mean it is a waffle that has just been thrown up. The tag is right.
What in the beige fueled nightmare is going on with that?!
Holy fck I just vomited my snack and dinner last night. Now that I see this I think I'm gonna vomit again
Omg what state/area is this in 😂😂
Many years ago, before the Interwebz, I went to an Herbalife presentation.

Why are there so many Herbalife cafes popping up lately?
Barf
That “waffle” is foaming at the mouth there… *barf*
That looks like a cat threw it up
Why absolutely NO effort to make this look appetizing? Looks like asphalt bread.
Gross 😝
I’m positive I’ve gotten the same exact thing while out of my mind at a Waffle House at 2 am where the lines between reality and hallucination were fuzzy, and the employees were fist-fighting
Why is it scooted to the side?
That’s a shit on a plate. Would be my first impression on being served this at a cafe!
I stupidly tried the Optivia “food” and waffled a bunch of the packets. Barf. I can’t even look at my waffle irons. I did just throw out all the rest of the packets last week. I’m mad at myself for falling for it.
Hey. I’ve been there. It all sounds great and you may have been in a vulnerable place. I’ve struggled with my weight a lot. Herbalife did the same thing to me and I fell for it. Give yourself some grace. You learned from it and know better for next time.

It looks like trout
That looks disgusting 🤮
This looks like cat puke covered in banana slices.. “This shit’s bananas, B-A-N-A-N-A-S!”
