A 'Comment' on the @PizzaHut-Delivered #Cinnabon Mini-Rolls (#NoOneOutPIZZAStheHut, but maybe someone #OutMINIROLLS them?) | @TheDailyMeal @SeattleMet

'That name' (below-hyperlinked to Pizza Hut's dessert-menu—where they might still offer Cinnabon mini-rolls you can order NOW) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

---

The name "Cinnabon" (I'm "guessing," because most people feel it's too 'obvious' to waste time "explaining") is a portmanteau of the word #Cinnamon with the French word for "Good" (bon) pasted over the last syllable (if it's not just a warped use of the word |Bun). 

The word “Cinnamon” is built on ancient names for a Spice made of the |Dried |Inner |Bark of either the |Ceylon Tree (a tree in the family |Lauraceae (the same family as the |Laurel, |Camphor & Avocado)) or the |Cassia Tree; or the word describes "a Reddish-|Brown Color."

The mini-rolls were phenomenal, I guess; but, like I wrote to Pizza Hut:

I must be a spoiled brat (a little), because I'm 'upset' that the box of Cinnabon mini-rolls didn't have microwave-instructions written on them.

... then I turn the box around and–DUH!–there it is in huge, bold, capital letters:

REHEATING INSTRUCTIONS 

REMOVE MINI ROLLS FROM BOX AND PLACE IN MICROWAVE 

HEAT 1 ROLL FOR 10 SECONDS & ADD 8 SECONDS FOR EACH ADDITIONAL ROLL

but–to avoid wasting my time having started the 'note of complaint,' and because ... 

... I edited my complaint-note to read:

I must be a spoiled brat (a little) and/or an obsessive-compulsive (like Adrian MONK on that detective-show), because I'm 'upset' that the box of Cinnabon mini-rolls' microwave reheating instructions didn't specify the 'amplitude' of the microwave you used. (Mine's 900 watts, so I usually have to add a few seconds because I THINK the common 'amplitude' is 1100 watts).

Trying to verify the guesses I made above, I found a 'things you don't know about'-list for Cinnabon.

• The Daily Meal tells me:
• Cinnabon's owned by the owners of Carvel, Seatle's Best and Moe's—a spinoff of Roark Capital Group they named FOCUS Brands
• Their COO (Kat Cole) got the job at age 33
• The Cinnabon Classic contains 890 calories (36 grams of fat (17 of saturated fat), 59 of sugar, & 20 milligrams of cholesterol
• The woman who finalized the recipe (Jerilyn Brusseau, Seattle 'cinnamon-roll'-specialist) is "The CinnaMom"
• The first Cinnabon-shop to open outside of a mall opened in an airport
• Cinnabons bake for 14 minutes (a little over half the standard cinnamon-rolls' bake-time)
• They use Makara Cinnamon from Indonesia (the same cinnamon in Pillsbury Grands and Cinnamon Toaster Strudels ... some Cinnabon stores sell packets of the cinnamon!)
• They tried to add cupcakes, but decided it wasn't gonna work
• There's Cinnabon Vodka
• They were the first chain to open in Libya after Gaddafi was ousted
• Franchisees can get the rolls FTO (freezer-to-oven, where they're shipped in pre-prepared & frozen, and all the franchisee has to do is bake them), as prepared dough (where the store just thaws it out, makes it into rolls & cooks it) or 'from scratch' (dry ingredients the store mixes with other ingredients ... you can tell by the smell)
