The cinnamon roll craze continues in Fresno.

Long lines formed yet again on Saturday after Country Fair Cinnamon Rolls set up shop at the fairgrounds in the morning.

It was a chance for people to take home hot rolls to enjoy.

The company's Facebook page kept people updated while they were in line, even noting a 4-hour wait at one point.

They had to cut off sales at five but plan to hold more events like this in the future.

If you are looking for a place to buy the rolls year-round, you can head to the Chowchilla Chevron off Highway 99 and Robertson Boulevard, which is now selling the U-bake trays.

There is no food on Earth I would line up for 4 hours for.

"Hey, we're going to lunch. You comin'?"

"It's only 8 in the morning!!"

"Well, it's a 4 hour long wait..."

“There is no food on Earth I would line up for 4 hours for.”

I suspect a bunch may be there just to be around fellow humans.

At this point I’d consider it!

Then you haven't had Big Fresno Fair cinnamon buns.

Second best food in the history of the earth, after mashed potatoes.

A tube of Annie's from the Publix refrigerated section is better than Cinnabon or any other premade rolls. Put a pat of butter on each roll before baking.

Nothing ever tastes better than Mom's.

Cinnabon is a great hide out. I mean, hang out.

“...Chowchilla Chevron off Highway 99...”

Betch 85% should be on a diet.

Reminds me of the cronut craze of 2013. And equally dumb, especially the guy wearing his mask Schumer-style.
