Apparently there’s a proper way to eat a cupcake.

Ever since our exploitation of the hidden properties of a Ketchup Cup, followed by the discovery of proper Tic Tac container usage, we’ve been inundated with e-mails regarding other things in life we are also doing wrong. One of those things? The cupcake.
