I think I just ate some Christmas candy, although it might have been some sort of little decorative guest soap.
Speaking of blurred borders, at what point does a muffin become a cupcake? Because yesterday building management gave everyone a nice breakfast in the lobby, and I grabbed what I thought was a muffin. After a couple of bites I decided it was probably an un-iced cupcake. How does one distinguish?

  1. The difference:

    Cupcakes are never mistaken for soap, while I often find myself obliviously toting a muffin into to shower, only to find myself lathered in crumbs!

  2. "If you threw a cupcake against the wall, you would hear something of a "poof!" If you threw a muffin, you would hear a "thud!"

  4. Of course not. I just consulted my fellow members of the North American Cupcake vs Muffin Debating Society. We meet the 2nd Tuesday of each month. The refreshments are great!
