Cinnamon Mini Buns
From: Kellogg's
Introduced in 1991


According to a 1991 magazine ad for this cereal, "Your kids can enjoy the taste of cinnamon buns for breakfast with no added fat or artificial flavors. Just corn and whole grain oats and plenty of the cinnamon crunchy taste they love. New Kellogg's Cinnamon Mini Buns. Little buns that are big on nutrition." The ad was titled, "Eating 70 Cinnamon Buns Can Be Nutritious".

Television ads in 1992 described the cereal this way: "They're like cinnamon buns... the size of cereal. Everyone's crazy about Cinnamon Mini Buns... made with corn, whole grain oats and a sprinkle of cinnamon. The big taste of cinnamon buns... the fun size of cereal."

The back of the introductory box gave a description of the cereal under the heading "Nutrition News That's Easy For Your Kids To Swallow". Here's the text:

"As a Mom you've probably heard a lot about nutrition and how important it is for your kids to have a well-balanced diet. Unfortunately, some foods that are nutritious just aren't very appetizing to them. So here's some good news for you: New Kellogg's Cinnamon Mini Buns cereal. Made with wholesome corn and oats, and there's no added fat or artificial flavors. Not to mention a delicious cinnamon-swirled taste your kids will love. So if you'd like to get more nutrition into your kids' diet, remember that it doesn't have to be the kind that's tough to swallow."

Florida... early nineties... holidays... family time... sitting at the pool in the sun in the morning slurping my Mini Buns while dreaming of the Wilson baseball glove and bat that you could win in the Kellogg's competition... childhood memory at its best.

This cereal was so awesome. I miss this one like most others from the early 90's. If only I had a time machine.
