Chocoberry!

I can't imagine I'm the only one this happens to.  You wake up, late of course.. think about making breakfast, end up running out of time and leave without anything to eat.  You stop at a cafe, Dunkin, Starbucks..  If its a cafe, as in cafeteria, lunch-room, serve yourself style, you're pretty much on your own.  But in the breakfast area there is a whole plate of oversized crunchy on the outside mushy in the middle muffins.  "Yay muffins", you think - what a delightful little breakfast this will serve as over the next few hours until you are finally finished picking and its lunchtime.  You grab the plate, head to the muffin counter and alas!  There are THREE muffins in a row with dark black pebbly spots poking out.  One has a very mild bluish tint on the side, the other has an even more mild tint in the middle and the third has no tint.  Hoping the one with the bluish tint on the side is in fact blueberry, the muffin is purchased and you begin to work/surf the 'Net while eating.  A few bites in, relieved, you are glad you chose correctly.  The next bite though tastes like a mouthful of chocolate.  HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN!?  Why did my blueberry muffin have one little area where the chocolate chips hid to escape from the other muffin?

Muffin fail, afterall.

94.3% of that muffin was in fact, blueberry.  The remaining 5.7% made me sad.
