A Product to Avoid.

Postby Scoobs » Thu Jan 28, 2010 10:59 am

You've all seen that Big Top Cupcake commercial, right? Look awesome? I thought it did, so I got it for Christmas. I was so excited to try it out. The first time I tried, the top of the cupcake came out in chunks, and the bottom part had a giant tumor sticking out of the top of it. I didn't follow the directions that time, so I decided to try again, this time following the directions. The top took longer than the bottom to bake, and had a huge bubble in the middle of it. Part of the bottom was still stuck in the supposed "non-stick" silicon mold [although I did forget to let it cool.] I might try to let it cool next time, but right now I'm fed up with this product >> Anyone else had something similar to this, maybe with a different product, happen to them?

Thanks for the warning, although I don't think I'd ever buy this anyway... <_<; It seems cumbersome to cut into pieces and eat, compared to a regular cake.
Also, I don't know how the bubble ended up working out or the other stuff, but you /are/ supposed to let a cake cool to room temperature before you get it out of the pan (...or giant cupcake cup...). ^^;

Snuggies. Just get a robe and wear it backwards, same thing :D I got annoyed that some of my friends wasted their money on those...

I bought a Snuggie once, don't know why.. a backwords robe is 10 times BETTER than Snuggie, really. All they do is shock you with static electricity and they aren't even wamr, and they come off just as easily as any other blanket. XD

Have you seen the ones they made for dogs?

I'm so glad by dog's arms will be warm when reading a book or drinking a cup of coffee -_-

Yeah, that one was just plain stupid. XD I'm sure my little chihuahua dog would love to just sit down on the couch wearing his very own mini backwards robe drinking some coffee and reading a nice good book with his toast and creal every morning. >.<

i hear they shed when washed. hand wash? but snuggie is made of soft fabric and is formulated to go backward. it is huge for that.

I like my Snuggie, it's comfy, but a little silly, I like wearing it to annoy people!

Oh yeah, I remember when I was eight, I got an Easy Bake oven. *Rolls eyes* I will never buy those again. We tried to make cookies, right? Well, we put it in and their was a piece of metal, a TINY piece of metal it needed to sit on to bake. Well I pushed it *past* this piece and the cookies fell into the light (the heater was a light) an nearly set on fire. -_-; Yay, I know how to set an oven on fire, what a skill

Haha those easy bake ovens were SOOO funny!

As far as the OP goes, usually if you don't follow the directions to a T, then of course it's not going to work...
