I got the tweet just after 1 pm: Sprinkles mobile was parked in Dupont! 250 free cupcakes on a first come first serve basis were mine for the taking. The last of my dignity went out the window as I laced on my running shoes and dashed out the door headed for 20th and Mass. Two minutes later I was there. The Sprinkles cupcake truck was not. Confused I checked the tweet and kept jogging the area. Not one person holding a cupcake, eating a cupcake, or with that dopey look of cupcake bliss on their faces.

Something was rotten in the state of Sprinkles.
