Last night I had to make a trip to the grocery store and actually wasn't in a hurry so I stopped at Dunkie and grabbed a coffee. Down the second aisle of the grocery store I spotted these, imagine my delight.
Usually when I get a coffee before going to the store, it means I will take my time and go up and down every aisle, not tonight. I quickly grabbed the rest of the things from my list and headed to the car.
I'm going to preface what I did next, so I don't look like a total pig. I hadn't eaten since breakfast and it was 7 pm. With that said, I unloaded the groceries into the car, got in the front seat, and then proceeded to rifle through the bags to find my cinnamon treasure. I tore open the package and pulled out a nicely wrapped snack.
I thought, if they went through the trouble to individually wrap these up, they are going to be delicious!!!! I unwrapped the wax paper around my cinnamon treat and found a crisp, round, cracker, covered in cinnamon sugar, and looking yummy.
I took the first bite and could immediately taste cinnamon sugar. Then it hit me, the after taste was horrendous. Now, you could pretty much offer me a turd covered in cinnamon sugar and I would graciously accept your offer, but this, I imagine, tasted worse. The extra virgin olive oil gave my treat a bitter, nasty taste. I suppose I deserved this, since I basically was "sneaking" these treats because we just started watching what we eat and these were going to be my secret indulgence.
When I got home and unpacked the bags, I opened up the package to take a few pictures, and can you believe I fell for that cinnamon again. One more bite, maybe I just got a bad one....Nope, the second bite was just as bad as the first. I yanked them off the counter and into the garbage they went.
I can say, this experience has not changed my love for cinnamon. I will continue to be a sucker for monkey bread, cinnamon pretzels, spiced cinnamon nuts, sticky buns.......
