Evil Cupcake Update

 So.

Faygo Cupcakes.

The Red Pop ("Strawberry") one was pretty good.  Probably the best thing I've had from that bakery, even if it wasn't freshly baked.  The Orange one was fine; my most excellent spouse described it as "inoffensive."

The Grape one... well, when I was a kid, I loved "grape" flavored stuff, mostly because it was purple and I'm old enough that I remember a time before blue-colored kiddie food was widely available.  When I was seven-and-a-half we went to the Grand Canyon and I got a stick of grape off-brand Chapstick ("Chap-et") from a gas station, which I treasured for some years thereafter.  If I could resurrect that chapstick and mash it into some Play-dough, that might approximate the texture and scent of the icing on these violently violet little cakes.  That thing was vile.  I ate one quarter of a fairly small cupcake and felt nauseated for at least an hour thereafter.  It was not food.

I am, as you might have noticed, fairly adventurous with food on both the high-end and the bargain-basement end of the quality spectrum.  Grape Faygo Cupcakes are the nastiest thing I have tried in quite some time.

Until the Sun Cries Morning has been open in a tab for forever.

Oh, neat.

Forgive me if it reads too much like a history book. :/

Haha, no worries. I'll let you know if I think it does, but since I was one of those kids who obsessively read my entire history book in the first two weeks of 8th grade American History... Well, that's okay. :P
