“For the person who really wants a tasty treat at the end of the day but doesn’t want to make an entire 9-by-13-inch cake, we’ve got Betty Crocker Mug Treats,” says the General Mills blog post. Talk about innovation!

“The single-serving Betty Crocker Mug Treats are made fresh in the microwave with a special ooey-gooey topping for each one,” adds the blog. “Perfect for an after-school moment or a ‘me moment’ at the end of the day.”

Ooh...can’t wait! What better way to spend a “me moment” than to microwave, say, a 400-calorie Soft-Baked Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix with Fudge Topping that supplies about 12 teaspoons of added sugar plus a third of a day’s saturated fat.

Who can resist a fresh mug of ingredients like bleached enriched (aka white) flour, high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated palm kernel oil, corn starch, sodium alginate, potassium sorbate, artificial flavor, and more?

It’s like eating three Twinkies per “me moment.” And all eight Mug Treats come with “Betty’s Tips” like “Serve topped with whipped cream or ice cream” or “Serve topped with your favorite candy bar, cut into small pieces.”

Why stop with cake, when Big Food has more junk to sell?
