What do you call a waffle that's been left in the sun?
A hot cake.
Why This Joke Works
A "hotcake" is another word for a pancake, and "selling like hotcakes" means selling fast. A waffle left in the sun would be literally hot — a hot cake. The joke transforms a breakfast item into another breakfast item through sun exposure. It's the breakfast cinematic universe.

Perfect for:
