Sprinkles

Sheesh....

For the price of one "gourmet" cupcake, (One serving), I can buy an entire box of one dozen Tasty Cakes. (still one serving)


Hmmmmmmm...............

Tastykakes are better but don't come with a fancy wooden Sprinkles spork.

I'd rather have the 8 or 12 TastyKakes in the box than a worthless spork and one cupcake.

Not even a decent utensil. Have you ever heard of someone poking their eye out with a "Spork"? I never have.

and as far as I'm concerned, cupcakes are meant to be eaten by hand.

Now, if you will excuse me, I bought a package of some new style Oreo cookie, and it only has 28 cookies in the package. Sheesh. What is with these "large" packages that only contain one serving????

Don't you be talking bad about the spork. The spork rocks.

The problem with the spork is you get a little frosting/filling/cake left at the bottom of the curve of the spork, after you've taken a bite. Usually it is a clean sweep when a fork is used.

Operator error. You need more practice.

Hey....

We're talking about a cupcake here, aren't we? You know, a small cake that is inside a little individual paper or foil cupcake holder or whatever they are called, and the only "exposed" portion is the muffin top of the cupcake that is covered with icing. Right?

You pick it up using your thumb and one or two fingers, if you have an opposable thumb. No need for forks, sporks, etc. Watch a child devour a cupcake. Do you see them using sporks, forks, whatever, unless there is ice cream involved? Of course not.

Real men don't need no stinking spork to eat a cupcake, Cupcake. Nope.

I'm a little confused. Do you eat corn on the cob with a spork?
BarBQue ribs with a spork?

What about that dinner roll? Did you use a spork for that?

I may need to stand corrected.

I was thinking about the "old fashioned" Sporks.

I than decided to search eBAY, and see that there is a new generation of a device being called a "Spork" which is a combination fork, spoon, and knife. However, the spoon is on one end, and a regular looking fork on the other end of the handle. Than somehow a small "knife" in made part of the fork tines on one side.

A totally different product than the old style "Sporks" I was familiar with.

The new generation does, somehow, seem much cooler.

But, I still won't be needing one to eat a cupcake, Cupcake.

This is a $3.50 cupcake. You don't devour it in one bite like my former Labrador Retriever would. You eat small bites and savor it like a fine glass of wine or champagne.

Perhaps, but like I mentioned before, for a few cents more or less, I can have a box full of TastyKakes, Lil Debbies, or other brands, and than I won't need to take small bites and savor it like a glass of wine or champagne.

Granted, my palette is not sophisticated and refined to the point that if you blindfold me, and block my sense of smell, that I could ever begin to tell which is which during a scientific taste test. Than again, most people could not.

So I refuse to pretend that a cupcake costing $3.50+ is going to make me feel any better than my 50 cent Lil Debbie or TastyKake. Nope.

Certainly there are differences. Better ingredients. Perhaps texture.

But, damn, if it's chocolate, and it's mine, it definitely ain't long for this world. And I don't need no "Spork" to eat it. Even if I take small bites. And, I will "savor" it when I'm licking my fingers!

Do you realize I could get a perfectly adequate room for the price of 6 of your "gourmet" cupcakes?

And chocolate is BAD for dogs. Real bad.
