Boston Bakery's Missing Ice Cream Mascot Possibly Spotted in College Dorm
Flour Bakery in Boston is on a quest to recover its missing mascot, Swirly, a giant plastic vanilla soft-serve cone. Swirly, which had been a fixture outside the bakery on Boston Common, disappeared in the fall. Initially, co-owner Joanne Chang speculated that strong winds might have blown it away. However, a recent sighting by a bakery employee suggests that Swirly may have been stolen. The employee reported seeing a cone resembling Swirly in a dorm window at Emerson College, located just over a mile from the bakery. In response, Chang has made a public appeal on Facebook, offering a reward of baked goods for Swirly's safe return, no questions asked. Emerson College has acknowledged the sighting but cannot confirm the identity of the cone.
