Recently I was informed that there are a lot of people who don’t like the word “moist”. I really thought the person telling me about this was kidding with me, but come to find out it’s true. I was at a party the other day and asked a group of people what they thought of the word and the majority of them hated it. Needless to say, I was flabbergasted.
So what does Betty Crocker do now? How else do you describe a cake that’s not dry? Personally, I don’t think I’d want to buy a damp cake or a wet one for that matter. Honestly, if a cake is not moist, I generally don’t take a second bite even if it is flavorful.
Maybe this word will eventually become a curse word or obsolete. In the meantime I’m, going to support Betty and eat her moist cake.
