Okay, just doing a little venting here. I drove through one of the many local coffee stands today and picked up a muffin to go along with my mocha. What can go wrong with a morning muffin, right? It was a “chocolate chunk” muffin, and I was almost tempted enough to eat it as I was driving instead wolfing it down at my desk at work.

So there I am at work, typing away on the computer with that cellophane wrapped muffin sitting there on my desk staring at me, gently coaxing me to eat it. I was saving it for a 10am snack, halfway to lunch, a great way to divide up the morning. 9:45am came and I broke down and unwrapped the muffin and took a bite. Now, the label said “chocolate chunk”, but the only thing that makes me believe it was chocolate was that it was brown. Couple that with the fact that the “chunks” didn’t smell too good either and I began to wonder if that brown color came from a substance other than chocolate.

That morning I could’ve sworn there were few things worse than a muffin that tasted like ass. I know logically, there are worse things… but I’ve yet to come up with one.

This kind of story makes you recall things like the American Classic Bakery NJ and Fernando’s Bakery NJ stories. Stop the insanity! Leave our muffins alone! All we want are nice yummy muffins to eat when we’re sitting at work. Oh, when will they understand?

There… I feel much better now.
