Originally introduced in 1991 as Kellogg's Cinnamon Mini Buns. Original ads for the cereal worded it as "Your kids can enjoy the taste of cinnamon buns for breakfast with no added fat or artificial flavors. Just corn and whole grain oats and plenty of the cinnamon crunchy taste they love. New Kellogg's Cinnamon Mini Buns. Little buns that are big on nutrition." The ad was titled, "Eating 70 Cinnamon Buns Can Be Nutritious".2 Cinnamon Mini Buns was then discontinued by Kellogg's. It was reintroduced as Mini Swirls and again as Kellogg's Cinnabon licensed after Cinnabon World Famous Cinnamon Rolls.
Mini Swirlz is low in saturated fat and also very low in cholesterol. This cereal is high in zinc and vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, folate, vitamin B12, iron, and sugar.3
