Gone like hot cakes?

Apparently they taste very good.

From this, “hot cakes” become analogous to any commodity that moves.

Any commodity that moves, OK? In other words, don’t use this expression on something that sits and sits idly on the shelf all the way through their sell-by date.

Sell-by date? Or expiring date, when they become stale and no good – therefore can no longer be sold as a healthy product.

Let’s not bother that for now. Instead, let’s read a few media examples of goods that sell fast and furious:

1. Tickets for Taylor Swift’s ‘The Red Tour’ went like hot cakes when they went on sale this morning and the demand to see the American starlet was so high that an extra date has been added to the tour.

Taylor will now also be playing at the O2 Arena on February 10 next year, she will now be playing a total of four dates at the massive 20,000 capacity venue.

The ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’ singer has just completed the US leg of ‘The Red Tour’ which saw the singer play to 1.36 million fans over 66 shows with special guests such as Jennifer Lopez, Ellie Goulding and Cher Lloyd joining her on stage.

Taylor is touring in support of her 2017 album ‘RED’ which has sold an incredible 5.8 million copies since it went on sale and has also produced four top 10 hits in the UK.
