Cinnamon Mini Buns
by Kellogg's
Yes — Cinnamon Mini Buns was discontinued in 1993 after 2 years on shelves, and it has not come back.
Little swirled cinnamon-roll pillows that turned the milk into something you drank straight from the bowl, no apology needed. Kellogg’s introduced them in 1991 and pulled them by 1993, a two-year run that ended long before anyone was ready to say goodbye.
🧾 One more thingIn a Mashed poll of 603 people ranking the discontinued cereals they most wanted back, Cinnamon Mini Buns finished first at 24.71% — beating everything else on the shelf of the dead. A Kellogg’s marketing director later admitted the Cinnabon cereal that tried to replace it was ‘our number one requested cereal the year it was discontinued,’ which is a long way of saying the swirl was never really forgiven.
