The Muffin Top

Feb 11th, 2010 by Samurai Jack

Muffins are delicious cup-cake looking bread that satisfy both savoury and sweet palates. Regardless of whether it is a Banana Muffin, Blueberry Muffin, Apple Cinnamon Muffin, Cheddar-Bacon Muffin or Smoked Salmon Muffin, the best part is still the muffin top. The muffin top is crunchy, explosive and full of character. Compared to the rest of the muffin, this is the most savoured bit that we all look forward to, or is it not?

So when does a muffin top seize to be an object of desire?

Yup, the picture on the far right depicts when the muffin top doesn’t seem as appetizing anymore.

The urban dictionary describes the term ‘muffin top’ to pinpoint perfection – “It is when a woman wears a pair of tight jeans that makes her flab spill out over the waistband, just like the top of a muffin sits over the edge of the paper case.”

Sad to say, this unsightly display of flesh is quite common. You can be guaranteed to spot a few of these individuals if your favourite past time is to hang out at street cafes on a sunny day, watching hot chicks walk by. What baffles me is the level of confidence these women possess, which keeps them from noticing the roll of abdominal fat hanging over their waistbands. Showing off some midriff can be sexy but the very same concept that beer-bellied men should never be caught in Speedos applies here.

I don’t have anything against big or plump women. In fact some cultures believe it to be a sign of fertility and prosperity. But maintaining basic fashion sense in the way you present yourself to the general public should take precedence no matter what. Big can be beautiful too you know, depending on how you carry yourself and how strategic areas are downplayed.

Muffin top appearances are best kept confined to the picnic basket or behind the food counter display of a bakery. It is certainly not missed beyond that.
