Cinnabon will no longer be collaborating with “The Bachelorette”, following an ongoing investigation involving star Taylor Frankie Paul.
“Cinnabon has made the decision to terminate its collaboration with ‘The Bachelorette’ and ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’,” the brand stated to PEOPLE.
“Recent developments and allegations surrounding the lead cast member led us to reassess this collaboration as it no longer aligns with our brand values.”
What Was On The Menu For the Cinnabon “Bachelorette” Collaboration?
Cinnabon had previously announced their menu would feature ‘Swirled Sodas,’ inspired by “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”
The menu item was inspired by the ‘dirty sodas’ made viral by the reality show. The drink involves mixing a soda base with vanilla flavored milk, which Elite Daily reports is popular among Mormon communities.
GettyDelish reported that customers had two choices for the ‘Swirled Soda.’ They could opt for the ‘Saints & Cinnas’ combining a soda base with vanilla cream and Manara cinnamon, in addition to the Raspberry Revelations, which mixed soda with a raspberry syrup and vanilla swirl.
The CinnaPacks would receive a “Bachelorette” makeover, whilst Swirled Sodas would be served in cups with a “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” cupholder.
“Every love story deserves something sweet,” PEOPLE reports the Cinnabon website as previously stating.
“This season, Taylor Frankie Paul is bringing her main-character energy to a journey full of big feelings and bold moves. Celebrate the romance, surprises, and unforgettable twists of ‘The Bachelorette’ with our shareable CinnaPack … It’s the go-to snack for fans who want to savor every second of this rollercoaster season.”
Fans had already began to react to the new menu items, as seen in an Elite Daily article.
“The Raspberry Revelations Swirled Soda tastes just like a Shirley Temple when ordered with a Sprite base,” they said. “This is delicious and super nostalgic.”
They also described the ‘Saints & Cinnas’ as “just like a cinnamon roll… if I had to pick a drink to give my rose to, it would be the Saints & Cinnas Swirled Soda.”
