but, cake is meant to be shared,

who cares if a cake has 10000 calories.

that's like saying supermarket has millions of calories in their shelves so they are unhealthy

At this point thats just a cake. But, if you call it a colossal cupcake you can then charge 10 times the amount.

Ahhh, and here I thought the dumb name was just to make people feel better about eating an entire cake in one sitting. But you have an even better point

Was there any damage to the supermarkets? It's a pretty big cupcake, i guess, just doesn't seem like that bag a deal?

Thats past the cup size. It's just a cake

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

It in a cup tho

Three days' calories for the price of one cupcake?!

100% that kid won't even finish the layer of oreos (?) on the top. What a fucking disgusting use of what I'm going to apprehensively title 'food'.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don't think it's meant to be eaten by a single person lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

That is what they always say when they launch such food items, yet it definitely is going to be in a lot of cases. There is a reason the US has an obesity epidemic.

At that many calories, it better be intended for multiple dozens of people

You looking to pump those numbers up to levels?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Looks like a hard duke rolled in sand.

Zomg, someone cupped the (normal) cake!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why did they choose the dried bird poop topping tho?

Yes, that's the commercial name.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 days ago (1 children)

At that point, isn’t it just a cake wrapped in paper? I don’t think anyone would look at a salad bowl and think, “that is a cup.”

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

No, they'd say "that's a colossal cup."

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Give it 5 years. Becomes American "child size" cupcake.

Servings per container: 1

Finally a panettone replacement

Capitalists now: "Here is your 26 megajoule cupcake!"

Capitalists a year later: "Here is your insulin subscription, only $299/month!"

A second cupcake has hit the supermarkets
