That sweet surprise? It’s muffin tops.

I literally, don’t get it.

Muffin tops? It’s a phrase referring to extra weight around the top of one’s pants. I have them. Yum.

I know what a muffin top is. It’s a precursor to the FUPA. I just thought there was an inside joke (or at least one I didn’t get) given the the post title, and lack ofr explanation.

It is an ad for corn syrup. What can I really say about that? I think Ellie and I rewound and watched it about five times when we first saw it because we were basically speechless.

I am seriously disappointed that she didn’t lick it.

I’m not usually a glass-half-full kind of guy, but maybe the fact the industry felt it necessary to make such a commercial is a sign that things are turning, however slightly, against them?
Also: I agree with Mister.

I have seen a number of these commercials … and each time I see it, it leaves me … speechless. Well said, Bill.
