honey buns
Glazed cinnamon rolls
Honey buns are sweet pastries—soft, glazed, and often spiraled or rectangular, sold individually wrapped at convenience stores and vending machines.
The term doubles as an affectionate nickname for a loved one, like sweetie or sugar: Hey, honey buns, I'm home.
In prison slang, honey buns function as currency and coveted treats.
