  Speaker 2: Start with the takeaway?
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: Okay, So there's there's a few different things you guys
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: are eating today. So there is a location down an
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Orum where you can get freshly baked rolls. And that's
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: one plate that you guys have. There's a iced version,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: and then there's a cream cheese version and then a
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: raspberry crumple. So they have some rotating flavors. They some
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: different options there. So if you're on the run, if
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: you want to go into orum.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: They are perfect to get there ready to go.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: On the run. You mean, like if you've robbed a bank.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: If you've robbed a bank, you want to send them
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: and roll and there's something that, yeah, that's there. The
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: other plate is actually more or less like a taken bake.
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: So you buy them in the freezer section delious, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: you warm them up and then they.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: Each have their own little icing packet, which is amazing.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: And so I wanted to give you guys that side
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: by side because this company really is genius and the
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: trajectory that they're on is of dreams.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: So back in twenty twenty two, this couple and and
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: one of their friends, they were gone to date night
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: and they decided, Hey, maybe we should do this cinnamon
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: role idea that we've you know, I don't know how
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: long they've been back and forth on it, but they
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: created an Instagram page the next day, started selling and
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: sold out immediately.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Wow.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: And I mean, think about how many dreams you've had
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: about doing a bakery or creating something, and this one
• 2:24
  Speaker 4: really is for the dreams because within a few years
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: they opened their first location. You know, they were doing
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: online orders between two, twenty two and twenty twenty four
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: when they opened their their store and it just was
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: kind of like Gangbusters. You know, they were just growing,
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: they were selling out, and they were thinking, we've got
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: to do something more, and it just had more legs
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: than just a location, because I think that's what sometimes
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: happens with bakeries.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: They create a location, they.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: Have a dream to do more and more and more,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: and then they get a little burned out.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Or they don't know how to grow it.
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: They don't know how to grow it, and so it
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: just is a one location, which which isn't bad. I
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: mean sometimes that is like a great dream. But this
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: also blossomed into now you can get them at Associated
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Foods in all of Utah. Yeah, so five hundred stores.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: You can get these in the freezer section. This just
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: launched in January, so this is new.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: This is they're called Sunshine Buns.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: In the Harmon's, Macy's fresh Market.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Lee's yep. So there's so many different options. And that
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: really is like the icing on the cake or icing
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: on the roll, is that they've been able to take
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: it from simple and online to now, I mean, look
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: at where they're at now, Like you can get them anywhere.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: The taking baked thing is nice because maybe you don't
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: have time to make a cinnamon roll, but you want
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: it hot out of the oven, fresh, and it's really good.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm I'm I'm always skeptical when I go to
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: the freezer section and it's a just warm it up
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: and you know, you don't know what you're gonna get.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: These are really good, though, yeahs I.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: As I was eating mine, I was like, wow, like
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: what they could do with roles from frozen to thought
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: within forty five seconds.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, sign me up for that.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Now? Which one is this one here? You know? Remember?
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that one's the original.
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: So okay, it's very cinnamony. Which is which is that's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: a good thing?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: So this is a recipe from one of the co
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: founders and it's forty five years old.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And I was reading up on mema.
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: That's that's what they call their they got a mem
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: They've got a me me she's doing, and that's what
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: the role role is called. But I was reading up that,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: you know, in the seventies she had her first cinnamon
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: role and was like, oh, I'm not satisfied.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: There's better out there I can do better.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and so she created something better and she would
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: sell fundraisers and other things like that. And you know,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: it took I guess that many years for the family
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: to realize we got something here that can go somewhere.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So Mema knew what she was doing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: But yeah, but Mema is an icing So the thing
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that I really like about this shop too is they
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: do offer icing and cream cheese.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Because I was gonna say, I am not the only
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: one that does not like a cream cheese frosting. So
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I appreciated Ice Chain, you, Sunshine Buns, and Mema for
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: understanding this.
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Mema was definitely an icing person, obviously, because that's
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: what's on the original roll. But I am a cream
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: cheese fan, and I love that they put extra cinnamon
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: on top, and so you get that cream cheese flavor
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: and then that other punch of cinnamon.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I really like that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: So you're this is serious, fully baked. He need forty
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: five seconds in the microwave.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you don't that's what you.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Guys, no, no oven, Yeah, and that's what you guys got.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: I literally pulled him out. I threw him in the
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: microwave before I came in here and you guys were
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: able to dress it up. You know, it's got this
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: little icing packet and you you have the cookies and
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: cream version that are in the the freezer section.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: So it's excellent.
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah no, And like I said, this is just one
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: of those stories you love to follow. It's a Utah
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: company that really just had that dream and they have
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: really blown it up into something that you can enjoy.
• 6:14
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna take my bag for super Bowl because who
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: knows how, you know, who knows how the super Bowl
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: is going, and you know, it might just start centering
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: around the food, you know, because the game is so bad,
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: whether it's a blowout or whatnot. And so it'd be
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: easy to just pop one of those in the freezer
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: and eat your sorrow's way.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: But so it's Sunshine Buns ten eighty six State Street, Orum.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Here's a billboard. You've been staring at our buns for days,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Just go buy them Sunshine Buns.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Somebody's asking are the founders the famous Zoomba sisters? Do
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: they have anything to do with Zoomba?
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 6:52
  Speaker 4: So the founders are Chrissy and Matt Hammer and their
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: friends Brian and Cass Martin.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: So is it the Zumba. I'm not sure.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Let's let's look it up, but I wouldn't be uh surprised.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I mean, does buns and Zuba?
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: I could kind of see that.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: But their their main focus now is the frozen section
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: of the grocery store.
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I would recommend going down to Orum to try
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: them hot and fresh, and they have flavor rotations that
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: I think won't be available in the grocery store. So yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: if you're in Orum, go down try them fresh, and
• 7:26
  Speaker 4: then yeah, try them in the freezer. They're going to
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: be in Windco in March, I think, and who knows,
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: and beyond it could be.
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: Costco, it could be other thing.
• 7:34
  Speaker 4: And that's kind of the fun things of seeing these
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Utah brands just grow and kind of flutter nationwide and
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: and uh, we'll see where they go on it.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: Amazing. It's interesting, you say, and you don't you would
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: think this would be not that you would think it
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: would be common, but you say, there's no other product
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: like this.
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: Yeah, just a take and freeze and thaw from a
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: cinnamon role, especially at this high quality. I feel like
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: sometimes you know, you see the TV type dinners and
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: they have like their attempts at dessert. Yeah, those you're
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: not going to eat those. But something like this, it's
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: it's delicious. And most of the what you get in
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: the freezer section are you have to still make them
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: or bake them or whatnot. And these are right in
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the microwave and you get something delicious.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Are this raspberry? There are? Actually it's raspberry. I mean
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: it's not fake raspberry, it's really rat It just amazes me.
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: You did this in the microwave though, That's what blows.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: Me, right, And so you could be at home and
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: do it yourself exactly.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Let's go let's go home.
