Those were apparently test marketed here last year–blueberry, chocolate and lemon poppyseed. Good, but nothing really special.

😛 I figure it will fail with those that associate the name with love handles and be a big hit with _Seinfeld_ fans.

For some reason my brain wanted to read that as “Muffin top pants. No waist”.

Do you think someone came up with that after seeing the Seinfeld episode? Not that I think no one could have ever thought about it before, but I certainly never did. Anyway, I’ll gladly [del] eat everyone’ stump[/del] eat the unwanted portion of the muffin.

I care not about McDonalds, but I’ll be using “Top o’ the muffin to you!” with some regularity for now on. Thank you.

Pop the top, dump the stump. I say that every time I open a can of cat fud.
