Swirly, a beloved 2-foot-tall plastic ice cream cone mascot at Flour Bakery in Boston, has been missing since October 2022. Owner Joanne Chang reported that a Flour employee recently spotted what appears to be Swirly in a window of an Emerson College dormitory. The sighting has reignited hope for his return, with Chang posting the photo on Instagram, which garnered over 6,300 likes. She is offering pastries and gratitude as a reward for Swirly's safe return, urging anyone who finds him to come forward. Swirly was initially placed outside the bakery to attract customers to its soft serve offerings. Chang expressed concern that with the school year ending, it is crucial for maintenance staff to retrieve Swirly before he is discarded. Emerson College has also expressed support for Swirly's return, encouraging anyone with information to reach out. Chang remains optimistic and reassured that Swirly will be welcomed back with open arms.
