Incidentally, or perhaps not, various institutes have done studies on the
differences between the sexes WRT olfactory stimulation, and apparently
the most arousing scent to a male human is hot cinnamon rolls. Hmmmm.

A former roommate of mine was convinced that Cinnabon (the aforementioned
chain of mall stores) was part of a plot to take over the world.

A trend in this part of the country (northern Plains) is to slice them
horizontally and make French toast out of them. Yum. You don't even need
syrup.
