Hello everyone, this is Running On Empty ...
Food Review!
Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen and everyone watching. This is Running On Empty food review and I'm your host TheReportOfTheWeek.
I wanted to resurrect an
iconic backdrop, I would wager at least that it is iconic. It is one of the legendary
backdrops for things such as White Castle and
those
weird
hybrid donut sticks that Dunkin Donuts had for a little bit and everyone went crazy and then everyone forgot about it.
This is one of the greats!
I want, before I even introduced this, allow me to raise a glass in
its honor. Right? There we go. We have a toast.
To Cini Minis from Burger King.
*Reviewbrah takes an honorary sip of water from his legendary blue chalice.*
Oh I know,
I know that's why I wanted to let it sink in like that because this is one of those things I think that needs to.
All of you wacky 90's kids, right? That's what they're probably saying in the board room. Remember these - they were all the craze back in
1998 and
everyone was just foaming at the mouth when they heard they were bringing these back - the Cini Minis from Burger King.
What are they exactly? Well, they are a dessert from Burger King.
I do not believe that they are associated with Cinnabon. But what they are is they're mini
miniature
cinnamon rolls.
Usually served in a four-piece. They're relatively inexpensive.
Let me see the price for these a
Dollar
49
for a four-piece, which is pretty good. I have to give them credit and
they're just a dessert. They kind of, they're just a little mini cinnamon rolls with the cinnamon sugar and
they're warmed up. They're supposed to come with a little bit of a glaze that you can dip them in or
pour it in or, you know, just save it, heat it up and then kind of drink it on the side, if you're weird and
that's just what you want to do.
You do you I guess. But ...
They are a desert. Everyone's talking about them. You know, some people I think it's bringing back a feeling of nostalgia.
They want to live, they want to relive their childhood. Some people are just saying, "You know,
I wanna give them a try! They sound pretty good."
So this is the Blessed
Cini Minis bag.
The cinematically beautiful shot right there with me kind of hiding in its shadow, but that's the regular thing.
Here we go, this is what we all wanted to see!
There is the
Cini Minis
box right there!
Gimme Cini-Minis with a comically
depicted
No, no, not really. I mean cartoonishly depicted Cini Mini. I presume that's a Cini Mini
depiction on the side there. Though maybe not? I don't know. Maybe they're just trying to throw you off?
Warning: Contents may be hot! The box is warm still. I can feel that warmth. This is the
icing. Maybe the custom-made Cini Minis icing. And...
then it has this thing. Now...
That's, you know, like a numbers sign a pound key sign, could be like a grid of crossed lines and it says,
"Get gimm gimmick
gimme gimme cini minis", is what it says there and I guess I'll "gimme" some Cini Minis.
So this is what they look like.
I must say...
Well,
I don't know.
It's just, I think that, this is something that, cause this is the first thing, cause I haven't seen these yet, I haven't opened this.
But this is the first thing that I've kind of wondered
or really that that came to me as
I saw these, it's not disappointment mind you,
but if you look at these you're gonna see in all the
advertisements in all the marketing out there
what they all show is
these little cinnamon rolls covered in this glaze and I thought that that's how it came too. That's how I saw it in all the pictures.
But I saw, no, that the cinna this
vanilla. Look, I don't know what it is. This the the "icing" (we'll put that in quotes) comes on the side.
But all the pictures kind of showed the icing being on it.
I don't think that's one of those things we're really gonna care a terribly lot about, but just something of note.
Anyway, they're mini mini cinnamon rolls. You can see that's what it looks like. That's what it looks like in proportion to my head -
for scale.
And...
There's an up-close-and-personal
Cini Mini!
Yeah, that's what it looks like. Alright, I'm gonna try it out first.
I'm just gonna take a few bites of one of them as is. Give you a little synopsis. I don't think
there's a ton to say about it. Then we'll put the icing on it and we'll go from there.
The Cini Mini's from Burger King going in!
I'm gonna be really succinct. Okay?
It needs icing and
thankfully we have it. I have nothing more to say otherwise because it comes with the icing.
All that I will say, this is one of those items I think the the icing is an absolute necessity!
So keep that in mind, first and foremost! And if the icing doesn't
doesn't do anything, then we have a big problem on our hands! So...
Give me a minute. I have a feeling that the icing is gonna help tremendously.
It's just it was too dry to eat with any sort of pleasure.
So...
Let me... There we go. All right. Now I'm gonna try it with the icing and that should be a lot better.
Good see there's the icing on it! Even if it doesn't focus, you can see that's what it is.
Drinking up!
Alright. This is pretty straight and simple because there's not a lot to it. There's not a lot of twists and turns and
sometimes that's a good thing.
All right. Here's what it all comes down to:
That icing is a must-have! If you get these, - whether you're in the drive-thru, whether, you know
you got it delivered or you what just went there -
You've got to make sure that icing is there!
I mean it is not worth it without the icing! I'll be hone... it is not worth it whatsoever!
It's extremely dry, extremely chewy. That icing helps tremendously.
That just gives it a lot extra sweetness.
In and of itself, it is cinnamon-y. It's a little doughier than your usual cinnamon rolls and a little chewier.
But eating it with that icing helps tremendously, it gives it that moisture it desperately needs and
It just gives it a little extra sweetness.
Otherwise, it tastes pretty good for what it is.
I'd say the sweetness is the one thing that, otherwise, I'll tell it to you right now, it would have been a terrible,
terrible item otherwise! But that icing saved it and this is one of those cases where the icing just kind of
went ahead, It took an item that would have otherwise been terrible and you know that sauce, the seasoning, the garnish for the icing,
went ahead and redeemed it very significantly, but it tastes good. Otherwise, it's a it's a good dessert -something you could eat on the go.
It's not too messy.
Tastes pretty good. Again,
maybe just a little too chewy for my liking.
But you got to get it with the icing and that's all that I have to say about it!
$1.50 for a four piece of the Cini Mini's. Out of ten?
I'm going to be rating these an 8.3 out of 10. That's an eight point three out of ten.
Just because, again...
You know, it's not the greatest thing in the world.
But that icing is a must - it makes it exponentially better!
Otherwise would have been terrible and probably would have given it a four or lower
because otherwise, it's awful without the icing. That's all that I have for you.
