Blueberry Muffins

According to a recent polling of Mennonite Voluntary Service workers in Metropolitan St. Louis blueberry muffins are one of the top muffin choices. Chocolate chip muffins also did well in the poll and garnered support from a variety of demographics. Lemon Poppy finished poorly on the heels after a series of ads linking the muffin to failed drug tests. Representatives of Lemon Poppy seed decried the ads saying that the attack ads were simply trying to distract voters from real issues such as taste and texture. Pumpkin muffins rounded out the top three, confirming what experts had been saying all along, that despite being a healthy and satisfying choice pumpkin too much of a seasonal pastry to win a general election. Despite a poor showing, Bran muffins vowed to be back in the future. In statement release to the press Bran's advisors said, "Sure, Bran might not be a sexy choice like Banana Nut or Cinnamon. It may not have the name recognition of Blueberry. However, we remain confident that a few years down the road people will come to a sudden realization of just how valuable, and ultimately essential, of a choice Bran can be."
