McDonald’s winks at Seinfeld, adds muffin top to US menu

Elaine Benes, the “Seinfeld” character played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus hashed out the idea in a Seinfeld episode back on May 8, 1997. Everyone agreed that the muffin top is the only valuable part of the breakfast staple. Her quandary was what to do with the boring part of the muffin below the glorious top, she named the “stump”. McDonald’s has taken on the challenge and has been trying out the muffin top idea in parts of the US since last year.
