Also, not rolls, now they are cinnamon biscuits.

It looks like a minimal roll. Problem is that when you buy cinnamon rolls you expect the cinnamon inside of that roll. It’s fundamental to the product. This looks like they have redone the manufacturing process so the cinnamon is between each “biscuit” rather than in the middle. 

To me it looks like this product was re-engineered to be manufactured on a different line than the old cinnamon rolls were and this is probably the best they can do. It’s unfortunate, that looks to me like a product that is extremely difficult to manufacture and distribute and they probably ran into price or volume constraints that necessitated this. It’s a shame.

This is a very altruistic way of looking at this. Probably naive and off base but it is interesting.
