Before we begin, are you hungry? Would you like some eggos? Eggos are your irresistible frozen waffles that come in a wide variety of flavors. They are warm and fluffy and tasty. You can have an eggo or three for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even for a midnight snack. So, if you need something to eat, have an eggo!

Do you know who else loves eggos? Eleven, the powerful girl who is about to save the world, from the hit Netflix show called Stranger Things.

Stranger Things is set in Hawkins, Indiana sometime in the 1980s. When a young boy named Will disappears, his mother, the town police, and his friends begin to discover secret experiments, portals to other dimensions, and a girl with supernatural powers named Eleven.
