Cinnabombs."Now you can bring home all of the mouth-watering aroma and flavor of Cinnabon World Famous Cinnamon Rolls," gushes the label on Cinnabon Cinnamon & Cream Cheese Turnovers. "Made with only the finest ingredients," it adds, the Turnovers are "an all-occasion pleasure." Finest ingredients? What's so fine about white flour, cream cheese, sugar, corn syrup, partially hydrogenated soybean and cottonseed oils, plus a paragraph's worth of artificial flavors, color and preservatives? The oils help explain why each 410-calorie, five-teaspoons-of-sugar turnover sends a load of trans fat (six grams) and saturated fat (six grams) coursing through your arterial highways and byways Make Cinnabon Turnovers an "all-occasion pleasure" and soon some dislodged blood clot is going to hit a traffic jam that has no detour. The company's CinnaPoppers look less damaging at first. But that's because the serving on the box (three pieces) adds up to roughly half a Cinnabon Turnover. CinnaPoppers are "not just for breakfast, but for dessert, at the office, for birthdays, or any time you want a special treat," says the label. Eat too many "special treats" and you can plan on serving CinnaPoppers at your post-angioplasty party. Pegasus Foods: (888) 747-9338 [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] |
