You better just hope that the muffin doesn't start going bad before you're ready to use it. Some of them get a fungus and it can spread rapidly to your other tastier muffins. This situation can become toxic quickly, and might force you to give your muffin away for pennies instead of dollars, especially if this muffin starts stinking so bad that all of your potential buyers know that you have got to unload it quickly or risk tossing it into a dumpster for no return at all.
Believe me, it can become a very traumatic situation for everyone involved. You might be happy to hear, though, that in some rare cases getting rid on one muffin... even one with fancy sprinkles on top that you invested extra time and care in preparing... can sometimes cause all of your remaining muffins to come together in a powerful way that really pleases the palette. In the rarest of cases your good muffins might even call out the bad muffin after it is gone. This only really happens if the bad muffin has no self control and starts spreading false rumors about your muffin factory or storage methods. If this occurs your customers are certainly likely to get into the action, but the former muffin owner and shop manager should do their best never to say anything negative about a muffin gone bad.
Of course, it can be secretly rewarding for those in the muffin business, when they come across the buyer of their bad muffin and realize the new owner has a tummy ache and can't figure out why.
