What is a muffin top?!


Question:

What is a muffin top?

They have a commercial and everything for it but I still dont understand...


Answers:
Two things... you can by a baking pan that cooks only the top of muffins - it has indentations like a regular cupcake or muffin pan, but they are only about 1/2 inch deep. It is said that they only cook muffin tops, since that's the best part.

A muffin top is also a woman wearing a pair of jeans that are too small in the waist so that the fat hangs over the top of the jeans (and often seen hanging out under the edge of a shirt...), leading to the "muffin top" shape.

um the top part of a muffin?
duhh?

It can be either the top part of a muffin or....when a person wears their waistbands too tight and their lovehandles pop up over the waistband. We also call those Mushrooms.

The popular term muffin top means the roll of fat hanging over your too tight jeans.

It is the top part of the muffin. Today in stores they are just chopping off the mushroom top of the muffins, because they are more moist. Some people do not prefer the bottom protion of the muffins that are more on the well done side.

I don't know about the commercial, but someone has a muffin top when they are overweight and the waist band of their pants is way too tight. Consequently, the extra flesh/fat spills over the top of their pants creating the effect of a muffin spilling over the top of it's container while baking.

No disrespect intended to anyone!

Its just as it sounds.


You know how when you have a WHOLE muffin, it looks kind of like a mushroom? There's the top domed part, and the lower cylindrical part (the part that would have been inside the muffin pan during baking). Well, the muffin top is the domed TOP part of the muffin.


People sometimes prefer them because they're a bit crisper than the bottoms.

In addition to simply "the top part of a muffin", it is also common colloquial language for having a flabby torso that spills over the pants you are wearing... reminiscent of the way a muffin top hangs over the bottom.

its like your not fat your thick....i have one!!!
your love handles slighly hang over!!!

Think About It: the top of a muffin is the Muffin Top.(Its everybody's favorite part of a muffin)

Is it the opposite of the bottom?
