The waffle takes inspiration from Leslie Knope's passion and love for waffles. The button looks like a [plate of waffles and whipped cream](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-bites) from JJ's Diner, but when pressed, it quotes characters like Ron Swanson, Andy Dwyer, and April Ludgate, to name a few. An example of a phrase that fans are sure to remember because of its meme-worthiness is Ron Swanson saying, "Everything I do is the attitude of an award winner, because I've won an award." A 32-page [mini-booklet](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchkins-book-plushies) is also included with the button and contains challenging trivia questions, fun quotes, and full-colored photos from the show.
