Cinnamon is my favorite flavor of anything, ever. When I was a kid, I'd buy packs of Big Red and chew piece after piece until I couldn't taste anything. I filled my room with cinnamon candles and would bake cinnamon rolls and always pick through the candy in the lobby of the doctor's office to pick out the little cinnamon disks in the red wrapper.
Boyfriend doesn't like cinnamon at all. The taste revolts him, the smell invokes retching.
One thing that's been the most difficult for me to give up since he moved in is baking cinnamon rolls, chewing cinnamon gum. Having anything cinnamon at all. He never insisted upon it, but I abstain from it anyway because I can tell how much he hates it. Once, I had an oatmeal raisin cookie at noon, and when I came home, he could smell the dreaded cinnamon on my breath.
Sometimes I just want to bake some fucking cinnamon rolls.

Oh God, I love cinnamon. Ben and Jerry's makes an oatmeal crunch ice cream that has chunks of chocolate and oatmeal in cinnamon-flavored ice cream. SO GOOD. And I only recently broke my addiction to Orbit Cinnamon gum. (I'm down to a pack a week.)
ReplyDeleteIf my husband had a problem with cinnamon…we'd have a problem.
Also, I like cinnamon rolls, but I dislike the icing. Just give me the cinnamon-flavored bread, please. When husband and I make cinnamon rolls, he has to leave the icing off my rolls. Which is fine, because he likes extra icing.
ReplyDeleteTHE SPICE MUST FLOW.
ReplyDeleteWhat, no cinnamon-sugared French toast? No Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal?
ReplyDeleteDump the bum.
I went to a bar with a date the other day, there was a drunk guy outside the door. As we walked past he slurred "Hey come back here, I have something to say to you Cinnamon." I have no idea why he called me that. It was hilarious and weird. A few of my driends now call me Cinnamon.
ReplyDeleteI like the smell of Cinnamon and even I get nauseated every time I'm within a few feet of a Cinnabon. Sometimes shit goes to far.
ReplyDeleteI worked at a Coldstone and there was a customer I called the Cinnamon Bitch. She didn't like that our store didn't have the cinnamon flavour, so I'd just mix some cinnamon into vanilla. When I asked her if she thought it was enough she angrily spouted off "IT HAS TO TASTE LIKE CINNAMON". I had to fight the urge to put my finger in to taste test it. This happened multiple times with different servers.
