Anatomy of the Meeting Muffin

One of the joys of being a computer guy is attending useless meetings of which I have no part of, nor do I really care what is being discussed. This allows me to have time to dissect the meeting muffin.

Ahhh, the meeting muffin. Banana nut, blueberry, cinnamon streusel and of course, lemon poppy seed. Those little morsels of joy are present at most of the AM meetings, nestled between slices or cantaloupe and honey dew.

Useless meetings afford me the time to dissect these truly magnificent wonders of the baked goods world.

Size: Meeting muffins are not your grandmothers muffins. They are extra large, pack extra flavor, and probably extra calories, but seriously, who really cares? They have fruit in them, usually. Fruit people.

Assortment: Trying to appease the many different personalities of the typical work meeting means that the assortment of muffins is usually broad. Just get there early, or you will get stuck with the chocolate ones.

Muffin Top: No, I am not talking about the excess waist poking out of your two sizes too small jeans, ladies. These muffin tops are packed with flavor, sugar and cinnamon sprinkles, and sometimes even nuts.

The Body: This part of them muffin is usually disdained by most, but notice that by the end of the meeting, most of the body has been consumed. You see, the body is the sustaining part of the muffin. The part you eat, nervously or out of boredom, but to keep you satiated during this boring gabfest.

The Wrapper: Everyone wants to do it, but at a business meeting, we most certainly will not lick the wrapper.
