\"CC_HotAs we hit day four of our Cinnamon Hot Week, it’s time to share another hot flavor of a classic brand you’ve probably never heard of:\u00a0 Mason’s Hot Cinnamon DOTS!<\/p>\n

Over the decades, DOTS have received a number of notable flavor extensions.\u00a0 The last few years have given us a trio of my favorites in Halloween DOTS<\/a>.\u00a0 But what is probably the tastiest DOTS extension I’ve ever turned up would have to be Mason’s Hot Cinnamon DOTS.<\/p>\n

As far as my research has revealed, Hot Cinnamon DOTS were only around for a short time in the mid-1980’s.\u00a0 The box design for Hot DOTS is striking in that it’s largely white with the strong graphic DOTS logo all in red.\u00a0 Here it is:<\/p>\n

And without any other information to share, that’s all I’ve got to say about Hot Cinnamon DOTS and that’s everything for today’s post.\u00a0 Drop back by tomorrow for more Hot Week fun.\u00a0 See you next time!<\/p>\n
