A food that looks very similar to a waffle.
The name'
s origin is from the
popular internet acronym meaning "
rolling on (the) floor laughing". When pronounced out loud it rhymes with waffle ("RAW-ful"). Although on the
outside it resembles a waffle, the inside is filled with the syrup instead of making people pour it on the
outside.
But, when it was invented, the syrup had ingredients in it that are used in
drugs. In fact, it was meant to BE a drug. People would
get tricked into buying them to see what this
new design for a waffle was like, but in fact, they were taking
drugs. It made people get high and then
get addicted. But barely anyone actually noticed that it could be dangerous, because the drug ingredients made them too high to think it could be dangerous. This was how it got its name.
Eventually, people started getting
sick and dying. People sued the rofl company, and it went out of buissness. But the doctors had so many patients, and many of them died. Doctors were running out of treatment for patients. Most people got rid of all remaining rofls they had, but some still wanted them. They started making their own, which soon became illegal.
A few people liked the idea of how rofls were designed, and rofls were made with normal syrup. But because of the rofl scare, people wouldn't buy them. That new company (Rofl Inc.) still exists
today with a few people who buy them, but because of the unpopularity, people are still wondering how the company is still running. Many people have suggested renaming it so people wouldn't be confused, but rofls still have the same name they did when they were dangerous.
