Hot Tamales is an American brand of cinnamon-flavored candies introduced in 1950 manufactured and marketed by the Just Born company.[1] They were developed by Bob Born, son of Sam Born, the company's founder.[2] The name derives from the sometimes spicy flavor of tamales. It was the top-selling cinnamon candy in 1999.[3]
