Although many cereals, the most famous of them being Lucky Charms, have included marshmallows, few have done so to the extent of Smorz. Luckily, even though it lacks the authentic smokiness of marshmallows toasted over an open fire, Smorz cereal can satisfy your s’more cravings during the cooler months. Unfortunately, this is an activity reserved for the summer months, meaning that a good chunk of the year is spent s’more-less. Nothing beats nights spent sitting around the campfire, toasting marshmallows and eating s’mores. Unfortunately, even this revamped cinnamon bun breakfast cereal didn’t stay around too long it was discontinued in 2009, leaving us with only real cinnamon buns for comfort. While it couldn’t fill the void left in our hearts (or stomachs) by the loss of Cinnamon Mini Buns, it was far better than nothing.
On the bright side, in 2005, Kellogg’s released a cereal that bore several similarities to Cinnamon Mini Buns Cereal, called Mini Swirlz Cinnamon Bun Cereal. Needless to say, it was a sad day when this cereal was discontinued. While the texture definitely differed from that of the pastry, the taste was strikingly similar.
It also made good on its promise to provide that true cinnamon bun flavor. The cereal itself was made of corn and whole grain oats and was shaped in a spiral just like the pastry it aimed to emulate. Its tagline was “eating 70 cinnamon buns can be nutritious!” This played off of the fact that the goal of the cereal was to appeal to parents who want their children to eat a healthy, balanced diet, as well as to children who love nothing more than a sugary cereal. From 1991 to 1993, if you were in search of that great cinnamon bun flavor without the feeling of having just chowed down on a decadent dessert early in the AM, Cinnamon Mini Buns Cereal made for the perfect compromise. They may technically be classified as a breakfast food, cinnamon buns can be a bit heavy first thing in the morning. In hopes of triggering some nostalgia, we’ve compiled a list of ten of the discontinued cereals we miss most. With hundreds of different kinds of cereal lining grocery store aisles, it’s easy to forget about flavors that might have once been your favorites. That’s just one of the many reasons why this particular food item holds a very special place in our hearts. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, or midnight snack, cereal has always been there for us. While it’s typically grouped in with other breakfast foods, cereal is really a meal that can be consumed at any time of day.
