Not. Good.
But still preferable to a Cinnabomb!

Fully agree. I have only been to Cinnabon once. It was at an airport, I had missed a connection and I was starving. Within 2 bites I knew that this was all wrong for me. It is way too sweet. How anyone can stomach these things for breakfast is beyond me.
That was about 10 years ago...I have no intention to return.

I only ever see them in airports. Although I don't go to malls often. Do they have other retail outlets?

Well, now, the subject line made me think this was going to be about...

Sweet corn on the cob!

Or chocolate chip cookies!

Or BBQ ribs....

(oh this reply was a bad idea, now I'm hungry)

Yes. Their scent somehow magically permeates my local mall.

...not that it's a bad thing. LOL

Based on his posts this week I'm trying to figure out which North American interstate-exit strip mall Alex is trapped in.
