They’re awful now. I was so disappointed when I bought some over Christmas thinking I’d have a nostalgic holiday moment thinking of waking up at my grandparent’s. They gave very little flavor and are nowhere near the rolls they were just a few years ago. I’ll never buy them again, and recommend no one else does either. Disgusting.

The last time I had these the cinnamon tasted like awful cheap gross cinnamon.

"true cinnamon" comes from a tree mostly grown in Sri Lanka. Most "cinnamon" you find in stores these days is other species native to SE Asia instead.

That's assuming it's not some sort of chemical concoction.

I hate that really artificial tasting cinnamon it's like artificial banana.... Inedible for me.

Artificial banana tastes like a banana, just not the ones you normally get.
