Anna saw both of these at a street festival in Providence. She suggests that they are clarifying that there will be no free cups of any kind. Perhaps their "jumbo" size makes them actual cakes?
Obviously, if one wants to delete a post, one hits [Delete It]. What does it mean if one hits ["Cancel"]? From the quotation marks, I can only read it as, "Yes, I'd like to delete this post, but I don't want to hurt its feelings. So 'cancel' my request to delete this post... wink-wink."
They've got a point, don't they? These miniature cakes are typically baked in a muffin tin, not a cup. There's no literal involvement of a cup in the preparation or serving of a "cup" cake.
Please send your submissions via email to bethanykeeley (at) gmail.com. I look at them all, but it might take a while to get to yours -- sorry! I love you all, but I only have so much energy in a day.
If you want your picture to make the blog DO NOT @tweet them, or leave them in a comment. I need them all in the same place. Make sure your emails are easily distinguishable from spam or viruses (I use gmail web interface, so images get previews).
I don't usually post the following: newspaper headlines, personal email, craigslist postings, unprofessional websites. I also tend to not crosspost things from other blogs, since I have so much unique material waiting for me to get to it.
Things I see a lot: silica gel "do not eat"; hair dryer labels; inside the bus "do not drill"; Wal-mart sign about IDs; coffee machine with "2" cup sizes; employees must "wash hands"; that failblog post.

See if you can put your spin on it.
Maybe they're really bucket cakes?
At least they were consistent

maybe they're "bowl" cakes instead?
