melt your heart... literally!

do you remember way back when i warned you about the dangers of mixing cinnabon with your health? well apparently, mcdonald's wanted to jump on the cinnamon-flavoured, heart attack-inducing bandwagon as well!

"Cinnamon Melts push the limits"

here are all the overly nutritious details per 114g serving: 460 calories, 19g sugar, 400mg of sodium and 20g of fat (8g saturated, 0.2g trans) along with a host of other ingredients that you probably don't want to know about.

so if you're doing your fine dining at golden arches, you'll have the big mac & fires entree, with a coke of course... and a cinnamon melt for dessert! that's a whopping 1570 calories! like 80% of your daily calories in one sitting! and don't forget you still have to cram breakfast and lunch under that calorie salary cap too!

good news: if you can do without your cinnamon fix, you could have an apple pie AND an "ice milk" cone with fewer calories!

but there is good news for the cinnamon melts... there are worst mcoffenders out there - mcflurries can have anywhere between 500 and 890 calories! sweet, sweet, oreo-blended jesus! i don't think i could bring myself to eat one of those ever again! (interesting note: did you know that a small DQ "Health Blizzard" is 610 calories?? doesn't sound very healthy to me... in contrast, a small pineapple blizzard is only 390 calories and a large "Georgia Mud Fudge Blizzard" is a whopping 1490 calories!)

as bad as they are for you doesn't it's attractiveness and care of preparation make you want to run out and grab a cinnamon melt right this instant?
