Excellent powder; Cinnamon Roll is Absolutely Disgusting

This powder is great, mixes easily and tastes great depending on your taste. For reference, I mix it with unsweetened soy milk. Here are the fragrances I've tried, ranked from best to worst. The chocolate peanut butter flavor is probably the best tasting powder I've ever tried. Tastes just like drinking a candy bar. It's not too sweet for me, and with peanut butter to balance the flavor, I can drink it every day without tiring. Gourmet chocolate is the great taste of chocolate. Compared to Optimum Nutrition Gold Double Rich Chocolate, it's sweeter and richer, but I get bored more easily. Great at first, but for everyday drinking I still prefer Optimum Nutrition Powder's more subdued and less sweet chocolate flavor. Unfortunately, the taste of cinnamon buns is absolutely disgusting, and it currently holds the title of worst-tasting powder I've ever tried. Too sweet. sick cute. And I mix my shakes up pretty thin, about double the amount of liquid they recommend. I can't imagine what it would taste like at the recommended concentration. I bought a small container of this flavor after seeing it in another review comparing the flavor to Horchata and after trying it I really disagree. Aside from the unbearable sweetness, it's definitely savory, like a real cinnamon roll, than horchata. If it weren't for the cinnamon roll flavor I would probably give this powder five stars. This really confuses me because I can't imagine any company actually making a powder with such an incredibly bad taste. And some reviews say they like it, but a lot of them also agree with me, so maybe it was reworded recently? Or maybe it was a bad batch, either not mixed properly or with too much sweetener, which is the source of all the bad cinnamon roll reviews. Or maybe there is an as yet unknown genetic variation that some people like but makes others unbearable. Your guess is as good as mine.
