Fitness Romance SagaTasting! Cinnabon Cereal

Really Important Note?—> Ninja Turtle Donatello featured in the pic was specially requested by Eunice.
Does it really matter if it has multi-grain in it? And don’t get it confused with this stuff.
If at any point in your life you were a 730-calorie Cinnabon freak, you know the horror and injustice of being that person in line who gets the very last bun in the tray.
It’s old. It’s dry. It may even be hard. You don’t want it because you know the people behind you will be served the fresh, hots Buns that just got pulled from the oven.
Cinnabon Cereal pieces are like former oven-fresh Buns, now old and shriveled up, collecting social security. They are the size of Honey Combs and appear to be dirt-sprinkled. And it doesn’t even taste like the real thing.
…..it tastes like Cinnamon Toast Crunch on crack.
If your flavor sensors normally bask in junk food cereal, you will probably like this stuff. If you eat healthy, but your family does not, stay strong and don’t let them talk you into buying it.

I have actually never had a cinnabon in my life…I haven’t even been inside one. So I doubt I would ever try this cereal. Glad to know I am not mssing out on anything.

Sounds like it would be a good idea if it was made properly.

It’s Donatello!! I can always count on you, Yucky.
Those shriveled up buns make me sad. Haha, shriveled up buns…

Love the new look of the site.
I’m sure my son would love this cereal. Anything sweet and cinnamon, he’s pretty much sold.
I think it’s hilarous how your little guy kept posing like a ninja turtle. My guy is always posing like his fave characters. Hard to get a decent shot. Great pics, beautiful fam.

As a self-proclaimed Cinnabon junkie, I’m saddened that this atrocious product has been brought to market. I actually went to the mall this weekend and there was a line at least 10 people deep waiting for these magically delicious buns.
And then they ran out. Then people started to tweak. I swear I saw a lady start to take out the samurai sword from her huge movie purse.

I’m sure she was there to stock up on food for her movie purse. I mean for realz, everyone knows that you need at least 30kcals per minute of film time…which explains why I hid a bear in my movie purse when I went to see Avatar.
P.S. – Its socially acceptable for a man to have a purse as long as it has meat in it.

Uggh Cinnabon giving more disappointing products like when they developed their granola type of bar.

This: “If you eat healthy, but your family does not, stay strong and don’t let them talk you into buying it.” had me totally giggling. It’s like you live in my head.

I think they’re pretty delicious.
Reminds me of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, just sweeter.

this cereal is amazing! it tastes great. it was sold at my wal-mart and now its not anymore. at only $2 a box, its a steal. they are better than cinnamon toast crunch and they make the milk taste excellent.

I am an adult cereal lover. II bought out my local store eating this delicious cinnabon cereal. Everyone in my home loves it as a yummy breakfast or great snack. It STAYS CRUNCHY a long time in milk! LOVE IT! Yum! I’ll be disappointed if it’s removed from the shelves because of a few people who don’t know a good thing when they taste it.
