Crepes are one of those things you underestimate. Think of a pancake, but better. It’s thin so you can consume it a lot easier, and while you can just get a plain one, why would you do that to yourself? You’re getting that crepe filled with chocolate sauce, covered in sugar, and other things that your sweet tooth will love, but your dentist will hate. Dare I say, they’re better than pancakes, waffles, and anything you would have for dessert at night. You might have a different opinion, but admit it, you will be excited more for a crepe than anything else.
Ooops! Over poured the batter! Seem to have gone donut when attempting to celebrate National Crepe Day! #nationalcrepeday pic.twitter.com/BZC6L10Ps9

Years ago, we would have a crepe truck come to my school once every semester. It was usually for French classes to go down and practice their French while also getting a crepe. It was pretty tame during class times, with people getting their crepes like normal. However, during lunch, people who didn’t have a French class that semester would order and the line-up would be too long for anyone in the back to get theirs before the next class. I would forget to bring money every time the crepe truck came so I would miss out. I have to admit, I was ready to take a bite out of my friends’ crepes but resisted the urge.
People generally get something that’s just buttered or filled with chocolate and banana. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of just having it plain (although I’m not opposed to it). I need to have something crazy going down in my crepe. I need the chocolate, the bananas, the strawberries, or other sweet things to make the crepe experience a million times better than it already is.
Crepes will stay in our lives forever. The next time you have the choice between pancakes, waffles, and crepes, choose the crepe.
