Here’s the quirky catch. The twists are fried in the same oil as all the other stuff. Nachos. Tacos. Those cheesy roll-ups. That means there’s a risk of cross-contamination.
If you have celiac disease? Proceed with high caution. But if you’re just gluten-sensitive or avoiding it for fun? You might be in luck. The oil is hot. Like, really hot. And the twists cook fast. Many brave souls report no issues.
It’s a delicious game of chance.
The weird history you didn’t know
Did you know the Cinnamon Twist was introduced in the 1990s? It was the “healthy” dessert option. Seriously. Before the Cinnabon Delights took over, these twists were the OG sweet treat. They’re basically fried corn meal shaped like a pretzel. Who knew corn could be so rebellious?
And here’s a fun fact: they’re vegan too. No milk, no eggs, no butter. Just pure, plant-based, crunchy deliciousness. Taco Bell accidentally created a dessert that works for almost everyone.
You want to impress your friends? Drop that knowledge next time you’re in line. “Did you know the Twist is actually a corn-based anomaly?” Watch their faces melt.
