You mean these?KANELBULLAR Ready to bake cinnamon bun, frozen - IKEA
Silly Swedes call them Kanelbullar. We call them by their proper name what is "Korvapuusti"! Awesome with a mug of coffee btw.

How does this look for a start?

Quote:

why I won't buy a k3 is an infamous thread on the popular camera discussion forum PentaxForums.

WIWBAK3 is notable because it has over thirty thousand posts and almost a million views. The thread started genuinely discussing the reason not to buy the Pentax K-3 buy progressed to other topics and is now labeled as a satire thread. Many topics are covered in this thread ranging from bacon and lutefisk to the evil Hocir and Walmart. Within the thread the members are currently engaging in a friendly discussion of Walmart Cinnamon Buns. Certain hazing is involved to become an accepted member; one must read all the pages (over 2000) and answer a quick and challenging quiz. The are many active members in the thread with one member having over three thousand posts. This thread is mainly random and has been going since October 10th, 2013. Moderators are active in the thread but are more passive than elsewhere on the forums. Others threads have tried live long and prosper but none can outdo WIWBAK3 with the second longest thread having only a mere twenty as opposed to thirty thousand posts.

"one must read all the pages (over 2000) and answer a quick and challenging quiz."

Even your Wikipedia article is satirical, Bertwert!
