A Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Ale sounds disgusting, but it would be even more disgusting if it was a Rogue Voodoo Doughnut Bacon Maple Doughnut Ale. (via Food Junk)

I blame this soda for all the cavities I had in middle school. Oh, and not brushing my teeth. (via Thirsty Dudes)

Hmm…I wonder if this Slow Motion Potion can ease my emotion and prevent me from making a commotion when my devotion for a Laotian lotion is challenged when its dumped into the ocean. (via Possessed by Caffeine)

This crème brulée isn’t hard. Perhaps it needs to see another crème brulée with its top off. (via What’s Good At Trader Joe’s)

Back in the 1980s, Snickers was promoted as a candy bar that could satisfy me, but it never could satisfy my childhood hunger. Too bad Snickers back then didn’t come in a one pound size, like they do today. (via Candyblog)

Hey, guys who like to cheat on your girlfriend or wife. Can’t come up with a good explanation for why you have the smell of perfume on you to your girlfriend or wife after coming home late? Well, you have one now. (via Foodstuff Finds)

I fully believe a bottle of Extenze Male Enlargement Energy Shot could extend my penis, if I duct tape the bottle to the tip of my penis. (via Possessed by Caffeine)

Bottled water with caffeine isn’t very impressive. Bottled water with radioactive materials that could mess with my DNA and give me super powers would be impressive. (via Food Junk)

Worx may work, but there is something Worx needs to work on — spelling. (via Possessed by Caffeine)

What would I do for this Klondike bar? Probably nothing and just let it melt away. Unless I was starving to death, then I’d kill someone for it. (via Crazy Food Dude)

Jamie Oliver makes junk food? Am I in an alternate universe where the Top Gear guys mostly review reasonably priced cars and put stars in an expensive supercar? (via Gobble Monkey)

Arby’s Super Reuben does look super, and when I say “looks super” I mean it looks like it was killed with kryptonite. (via Would I Buy It Again)

Soooo…the mascot for the London Olympics…um, what is it supposed to be? With the gigantic eye, I’m guessing it represents the thousands of closed-circuit television surveillance cameras all over London. (via Foodstuff Finds)

Paper hole puncher review! Or as I like to call them, confetti makers. Or as janitorial people call them, The Devil. (via Office Supply Geek)

I’m disappointed this Alaskan wilderness trail mix doesn’t contain bear, moose, salmon, or crude oil. (via Foodette Reviews)

Bazooka Gum has a comic strip on its wrapper. The wrappers on these Maoam chews have what I assume are Kama Sutra position instructions. (via Candyblog)

When I heard about Crispy M&M’s, I celebrated by eating a spoonful of Rice Krispies. So when I learned about Cinnamon M&M’s, I thought I’d celebrate in a similar fashion and eat a spoonful of cinnamon.

However, it turns out eating cinnamon powder is really hard to do. If only, I searched on YouTube using the words “cinnamon fail” before my celebratory cinnamon consuming, then I would’ve seen the dozens of failed cinnamon eating attempts that involved lots of coughing.

A bag of Cinnamon M&M’s contains candy with four different colored shells: red, dark red, dark brown, and darker brown. Although, at different angles, it kind of looks like there are only three. They also come in different sizes. Some are the same size of regular M&M’s, while others are just as big as Peanut M&M’s or a size in between.

The candy has a pleasant, but very faint, sweet cinnamon flavor and it goes well with the milk chocolate. You’ll probably get more cinnamon flavor if you were to open your mouth downwind from some poor man or woman who just failed at eating a spoonful of cinnamon. Unfortunately, for some strange reason, that very faint flavor pretty much disappears after eating four or five pieces, and it tastes as if you’re eating regular M&M’s.

I thought the disappearance of cinnamon flavor was weird so I decided to do some experiments, and I’ve come to the conclusion that not all the pieces of candy in a bag of Cinnamon M&M’s have cinnamon in them. (Oh wait, the ingredients list doesn’t list it as cinnamon, instead it’s listed as “Natural Flavor.”) I believe the small dark brown pieces taste like regular M&M’s, while the red and dark red pieces have cinnamon flavor.

I did eat several red pieces in a row and the cinnamon flavor didn’t fade, so perhaps the disappearance of the cinnamon flavor when I first ate them could be attributed to me not eating more red pieces. I’d find out for sure, but I’ve already gone through half of the bag while writing this review.

One last thing. It’s been several minutes since I ate my last Cinnamon M&M, but it left behind a slightly cinnamon-y, slightly weird taste in my mouth. I wish I had some cinnamon gum to get rid of it.

The seasonal Cinnamon M&M’s are a nice tangent from the usual flavors, but its subdued cinnamon flavor doesn’t make me want to start a Facebook campaign to get Mars Inc. to make it a regular year-round flavor.

Pros: Pleasant cinnamon flavor. It’s another M&M’s flavor. Candy comes in a variety of sizes and colors. Crispy M&M’s.
Cons: Faint cinnamon flavor. Not all of the pieces seem to have cinnamon flavor. Where are Crispy M&M’s? Left a weird taste in my mouth. Trying to eat a spoonful of cinnamon.

If you love cinnamon and M&M’s, get ready to have your tongue’s mind blown because Mars just released Cinnamon M&M’s, according to this tweet from online grocer ShopFoodEx:

Perhaps the coolest new item in ages is now available…Cinnamon M&M’s. They are a seasonal item and we only have 1 case in stock.

Yup, Cinnamon M&M’s are hitting shelves now.

Update: Shameful Pantry already has a review of them.

Sure, it’s not Crispy M&M’s, but it’s a nice holiday surprise and if they end up being really good, I may forget about Crispy M&M’s.
