Reasons Why the Bundesliga is Awesome, Pt 1

By: Abby | November 1st, 2007

Hertha Berlin’s DFB-Pokal campaign may have been disappointing, but following a Bundesliga team isn’t all about cup defeats. Indeed, the Bundesliga is a great league to follow, and not just because it’s an exciting league with talented young players, fantastic stadiums, and affordable ticket prices. It may not have the ridiculous riches of England and Spain, but it has something else.

Toasters.

Yes, in Germany even your breakfast can prove your loyalty to your club. I’ve seen them for other Bundesliga clubs, and I’m proud that Hertha is now offering such an importance service to its fans.

  Great find.

  But when it comes down to ways to show your loyalty through your breakfast food — does Hertha’s toaster beat Bayern’s waffle maker?

  Shouldn’t a Bavarian club offer pretzel makers and utilities to peel a Weißwurst, instead of a waffle maker?

  I think even I’d buy a Bayern Munich pretzel maker- that’s way too absurd to pass up. It could join my Ronaldinho caganer.
