Ah, nostalgia: It can evoke such a satisfying feeling when it strikes just right. Burger King is tapping into this sentiment by bringing back a beloved item that fans have missed for 12 years. The Cini Minis, which are snack-size cinnamon rolls, have returned after being discontinued over a decade ago. The journey to their return wasn’t straightforward. Passionate fans initiated a Change.org petition to bring them back, and over 6,000 people signed it, making a significant impact. These treats look deliciously sweet, making it easy to understand why they are so popular. They are now available in a 4-pack for $2.49. Originally released in 1998, Cini Minis were a big success until they were unexpectedly removed from the menu in 2012. They have maintained a cult following, with numerous Reddit discussions about them. In a 2023 thread, one fan sought information on whether they would ever return, while another expressed their disappointment about their removal, hoping for the chain’s downfall for eliminating such a delightful item.
Now, fans of Cini Minis have a reason to celebrate, though there is a caveat. The treats are currently only being reintroduced at select stores in Miami and Fort Lauderdale, Florida. According to Eat This, Not That, Burger King sometimes tests products in specific locations to decide if a nationwide release is justified. Therefore, fans might soon enjoy them without needing to travel to Florida. A 4-pack contains over 400 calories, 23 grams of fat, and more than 50 carbohydrates. Depending on one’s perspective, this nutritional information might influence the decision to indulge. Consuming five orders would equate to 2,000 calories, aligning with the recommended daily intake in America, potentially covering all meals in a day.
