On Saturday, when an unbearably muggy and nearly record-setting heat enveloped the District, Young & Hungry's Tim Carman captured a telling photo of a truly nonplussing phenomenon: A line outside of Georgetown Cupcake that ran halfway up 33rd Street—comprised of dozens of people.
Young & Hungry's readers were not sympathetic to Georgetown Cupcakes's melting patrons, but Carman's incredulousness really hit home.
"I’m not sure what I would consider the more inhumane treatment: waiting for a tiny frosted treat during this hell’s broiler of a day or watching the new TLC reality show based on Georgetown Cupcake," he joked. And on Twitter, many others chimed in to say that 40-or-so customers in line for a cupcake were, well, crazy:
@Staceyviera: (Ppl are sheep. SHEEP!)
@ja3: More proof that people will always exceed my expectations for stupidity.
@MysteryPollster: this photo denotes peak of the fad
@TeresaKopec: Do those cupcakes have little crack bags in the middle?
@fat_nat: insanity, clearly, esp when baked and wired is so close and so much better
@Buffalo_Theory: This is why I hate humans…and Georgetown!
