Otis Spunkmeyer Inc. is a baked goods distribution company widely known for its odd name and flagship line of muffins and cookies. Although a relatively small company, Otis Spunkmeyer has enjoyed a large amount of success in the industry, with clients ranging from small family-owned businesses and restaurants to worldwide military organizations such as the United States Army. In addition to its famous muffins and cookies, Otis Spunkmeyer also produces frozen cookie doughs and other pastries.
Despite common belief, the name Otis Spunkmeyer is not actually referring to any person. The name was a creation of the then 12 year-old daughter of the company's founder.
In 2007 the company was acquired by Irish company IAWS plc.
