[Sca-cooks] "Edible" Cinnamon Sticks

[kattratt]

BTW folks I drank out of one of the "toss away cups" (I call them that 
since I am not using for the event due to color and condition) and it 
leaked nary a drop.  Ok now granted it was a bit sweet for water... 
maybe serve a sweet drink out of them but water took on a sugary taste. 
BUT No leackage... *(Course now I wouldn't trust one of those really 
cracked "Toss aways" not to leak.   But I mean hey that is why I am 
calling those "toss aways") ((Thinking about saving some of the good 
ones as displays and using the "toss aways" as samples in the future.))
