Fake Cinnamon Joins Artificial Vanilla and Wins:

The most shocking revelation of the evening concerned cinnamon, which, in the United States, whether natural or artificial, is likely not to be cinnamon at all, scientifically speaking. “True” cinnamon flavour comes from the bark of the Cinnamomum verum tree, but the FDA has determined that the bark of the cassia tree, another member of the Cinnamomum genus, can also be sold as cinnamon.

So the Cinnamon Challenge has to be renamed to the Fake Cinnamon Challenge.
