The Brief

    • Cinnabon announced a new collaboration with the candy brand Warheads, which features rolls with the sour popping candy.
    • The collaboration is available for a limited-time beginning August 19.

ATLANTA - Cinnabon, known for its iconic cinnamon rolls, announced it is collaborating with the nostalgic sour candy Warheads to introduce a new flavor mashup – the first partnership for the two brands.

According to the company, the rolls will feature sour popping candy onto Cinnabon’s cinnamon rolls. The treats will be available in three flavors: blue raspberry, green apple and watermelon. 

The collaboration also features a limited-time Warheads Chillatta beverage.

"Fans know and love our classic cinnamon rolls, but at Cinnabon, we don’t shy away from a little fun," said Michael Pittman, the vice president of marketing at Cinnabon. "We are always looking for bold new ways to innovate for our most adventurous guests. Cinnabon x Warheads is truly a collaboration you have to try before you deny – and we know fans will keep coming back for another bite of this one-of-a-kind flavor combination."
