Cupcake vs. Muffin

We have been having a discussion about the difference between a cupcake and a muffin.

I actually googled this - the consensus seemed to be that a cupcake has frosting and a muffin doesn't.

So we started to think of other differences -
A muffin has "things" in it - blueberries, bananas, poppy seeds, etc.
You eat a cupcake for dessert and a muffin for breakfast.
A muffin seems "heavier" than a cupcake
A muffin will sometimes have a "muffin top" hanging over - a cupcake doesn't

Any other ideas?

A cupcake is more like a "cake" and a muffin is more like a "bread."
