Pop-Tarts®

Frosted Cherry.

Frosted cherry also. But I pretty much vote cherry in all the fruit polls.

I’ve been a brown sugar cinnamon man my whole life but just now going through a frosted raspberry phase

Brown Sugar Cinnamon?? Gross.

Brown sugar cinnamon? Can't even pretend to have nutrients. How low class.

Excuse me, brown sugar cinnamon is winning

r5 wipes back to front.

Nothing compares to the Frosted Strawberry! Absolutely delicious! I could eat a whole box in one sitting! That is probably why I haven't had one in over a year. lol

R6, people are for the most part pure trash. Of course it's winning.

I like blueberry and strawberry best. Frosted or unfrosted, toasted or raw.

When I was growing up our family got this alternative brand that was terrible

Cherry is my favorite. I buy them sometimes and eat them as a snack because I don't eat breakfast, that way I get my sweet fix and feel like I am getting a few vitamins. HA!

None. The most overrated breakfast food ever, made popular by American pigdogs and not only is it unhealthy, it's unhealthy AND tastes disgusting.

I’ve had a pop tart made by a bakery. It was amazing! Now I can’t go back to store-bought pop tarts because they taste like cardboard. It looks easy enough to make at home.

r14 is merely and comprehensively missing the point.

(1) If you're going to bake and you [italic]can[/italic] bake, for god's sake, don't make Pop-Tarts.

(2) And if you want Pop-Tarts, for the love of all that's holy, don't want lovely fresh ones. What you [bold]want[/bold] is to rip open that foil and toast your way to instant happiness. Sheez.

I don't eat them anymore but Cinnamon Roll is damned delicious, just don't over toast it.

Why the fuck would you eat a pop tart when toaster strudel exists? Aside from being nearly inedible pop tarts are also a fire hazard.

The only ones I like are the hot fudge sundae flavor, and only for dessert on a rare occasion, not for breakfast. I briefly had Pop Tarts for breakfast as a kid and they left me hungry after a couple of hours, they are all sugar so not very filling.

Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon are my all time favorite, un-toasted. They’re very dense and moist. There’s really nothing like them. I know there are people on DL who hate this flavor, and I honestly don’t understand. They’re scrumptious!

Cinnamon! To me all the fruit flavors taste weak. It’s like there’s not enough filling in them. The frosted cinnamon ones seem to mix with the carb-y, stiff breading perfectly. And the frosting puts it over the top. Un-toasted of course.

[quote] Why the fuck would you eat a pop tart when toaster strudel exists?

Because Toaster Strudel is gross. Chewy, greasy, gummy, mushy blech. There's a saltiness to Pop-Tarts® ([italic]and yes I always use the registered mark, out of respect[/italic]) that keeps it sophisticated. Toaster Strudels are overly sweet and infantile.

[quote]pop tarts are also a fire hazard

Danger is my middle name.

I think having both Cherry and Strawberry in the poll is splitting that vote, since they are basically the same flavor.

O! how I wish DL could show the quantity of voters and not just the percentages in a poll. I like this one.

From the results it looks like right now one vote = 0.7% of the vote, meaning about 144 people have voted.

Thank you for math skills I don't possess.

You forgot the flavour: Diabetes. As a child I remember trying Pop Tarts for the first time and was totally disgusted by it. it had the thick and hard layer of icing on top and concentrated strawberry sugar (I won't call it jam). Never had another one again.

R25 or 1440.

The fruit inside a Pop Tart is a mix of Elmer's school glue and artificial flavoring. In the 1980s when I had blueberry Pop Tarts they didn't taste quite so artificial, and the filling was thicker while the frosting was thinner. They were still little rectangular sugar bombs, but maybe less so than they are today.

I voted for Brown Sugar Cinnamon but I liked the Blueberry as well, as long as both flavors are unfrosted. There is something about having one of these lightly toasted with a pat of butter on them to melt slowly on top. On Saturdays, Mom would allow us the Chocolate-filled ones with the chocolate icing. Looking back, they really are diabetes in a foil-wrapped packet.

and that pat of butter addresses any shortcoming in that saturated-fat food group! Good job, r30

LOL, R30. I agree. I should point out that the last time I had one, I was an active pre-teen. Not someone who sits on their ass most of the day while working, which is what I am now.

R19 I Cinnamon isn't as good as strawberry, but it's my second choice (if frosted). But how can you eat a pop-tart uncooked??? That is so uncivilized! Were you raised by wolves??

The package hypes non-toasted as well as frozen. I call bullshit x 2.

Brown Sugar Cinnamon is "meh" cold, but "Yes!" hot. That one would make no sense if they had an unfrosted version. However, I strongly prefer unfrosted for the regular fruit flavors, such as blueberry or cherry. Unfortunately, they only seem to do that for strawberry, the one flavor I truly dislike.

For those who assume I'm some sort of obese homo, I haven't had a Pop-Tart in a very long time, and that was only a box or two out of a sense of nostalgia rather than eating them regularly.

American cuisine has for the most part always been unhealthy and gross. I remember as a child during the 1960s the stenches coming from friends' kitchens as their mothers made dinner. Fine pastries were for the most part unavailable. Pop Tarts were in many cases the best you could get. Compared to a bowlful of Sugar Smacks or Wonder Bread toast, they seemed like a decent breakfast at the time.

Cher will always be my favourite Pop-Tart.

R37 they're called pop tarts, not pop whores.

The problem with Pop-Tarts is not enough filling. If you made one with like three times the filling it would be good.

[quote]For those who assume I'm some sort of obese homo, I haven't had a Pop-Tart in a very long time, and that was only a box or two out of a sense of nostalgia rather than eating them regularly.

Why the fuck do you care what a bunch of strangers on the Internet think of you. Just live your life and stop worrying what others think.

[quote]Why the fuck would you eat a pop tart when toaster strudel exists?

Not everyone can afford a toaster

The only ones I liked as a kid were the blueberry.

I remember when the frosted ones were introduced. My mom refused to buy them because "too much sugar".

The blueberry ones she could sort of at least pretend were "healthier", because they had fruit in them, right? Although who knows if they even had real blueberries in them.

(Hey, it was the 70's. People thought a steak, a buttered baked potato, and an chocolate shake was a healthy, nutritious meal.)

and ketchup was a vegetable

I love the Pop-Tart crust. It has a unique dryness that you don't find in French pastries.

r5 it's a fucking brown sugar cinnamon [italic][bold]landslide[/bold][/italic]. Suck it.

People who like Brown Sugar Cinnamon also probably eat baby food.

I feel as if OP hasn't actually tried the pretzel ones. They are amazing.

The last time I had Pop Tarts was a couple of years ago when I was at a minor Amtrak station and needed to buy breakfast, and they looked like the best option they had in the vending machines. I think they were blueberry. They were fine with a paper cup of instant coffee.

Pop Tarts are a popular last meal request for death row inmates.

R17 = Gretchen Wieners

Toaster strudel tastes WAY different now than it did in the late 80s. Back then they were flaky; now they’re crusty, dry, & the filling is gummy.

I was a fat kid and it was the one thing I would never eat. I found them to be disgusting.

Frosting is a MUST. Otherwise, what is the point of eating pop-tarts?

R47: OP here and I was excited to try the pretzel ones when they came out. Sounded intriguing but didn’t work for me

I never liked toaster strudels... If I do strudels I want them fresh from a bakery, not frozen.... There is a huge difference!

Fat whores, the lot of you.

Who the hell eats Pop Tarts without frosting, & also untoasted? What’s the point?

As a child, I seared my fingers on frosting while eagerly snatching a Pop-Tart from a toaster oven.

This did not bode well.

R57, Protestants from the Midwest.

Cold ones without frosting are a bit plain. However, heated ones without frosting work just fine!

Don’t eat them regularly because I try to avoid sugar and carbs, but during lockdown I decided FUCK IT and ate all my favorite comfort foods for a while. Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts almost every morning. I had to dig out my toaster oven. Add a little bit of butter—heaven.

Britney Spears

I haven't had one in a long time, but I seem to remember one with a maple frosting -- is that the brown sugar-cinnamon one? I always used to put butter on mine (on the unfrosted side), right after it came out of the toaster. Yum.

R57 I had a co-worker once who came in my office eating an untoasted pop-tart. I said "What are you doing? How dare you desecrate the pop-tart with such sacrilege." He said "the toaster is broke." I looked at him and screamed: "WE HAVE A MICROWAVE!" "Now get the fuck outta here until you can act like you have some sense!" THE NERVE!

sacrilege I know, but sometimes I like the OG unfrosted option. The extra sugar blast is overkill sometimes.

My favorites have always been the brown sugar-cinnamon unfrosted kind, but it seems to me that now they only make the m frosted :-(

R65 You may as well eat the frosted if you like them... they actually have LESS calories than the unfrosted!

I liked the peanut butter/chocolate ones they had a few years ago, but they apparently discontinued them.

Tried the pretzel ones - they were dry and in general, just tasted like moldy ass.

Moldy ass? How do you know what... never mind.

r66: unfrosted BSC are still listed on the poptarts.com

r67: according to the poptarts site, the calories are the same (210 per pastry), but frosted has 2 more grams of sugar (15 vs 13).

R70 According to Insider: A single Kellogg's Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tart has 200 calories, while an Unfrosted Strawberry Pop-Tart has 210 calories.

Wildberry Pop-Tarts are my favorite, with frosted cherry a close second.

Okay, these are funny.

Before memes, there were Wacky Packages.

You fat whores! I went to the store and bought Pop Tarts because of your suggestive powers!

What flavor, r75? And did you vote?

Thanks, R70. I prefer the unfrosted brown sugar cinnamon ones because, to me, the frosted ones taste a little too sweet. For some reason, every store I know of that carries Pop Tarts only seems to carry the frosted brown sugar cinnamon ones, not the unfrosted.

Plain strawberry, no icing. I’m one of the only people I know that likes them but I’m not of fan of the icing. Been eating them since I was in pre-school so either my mom or dad must have gotten them for me.

R75 Chocolate fudge. I did vote for that (something else w/choc)

whhops I meant R76

R40, you obese homo, do you know where you are?!?

Amazing that no thread is innocuous enough for DLers to go cunting.

Louise Hay observed many years ago that gay men are especially cruel with each other.

Gay men are cruel to emulate women.

While men can be physically cruel, no one is more emotionally cruel than women.

Pop Tart quality has gone way down over the years. They used to have more filling, it seems. The quality of the pastry seemed like it was better before. My fave was strawberry, frosted, toasted. I did like the brown sugar cinnamon, frosted and toasted, as well.

Pop-tarts are absolutely disgusting now.

R85, YES Frosted Strawberry was the best, followed by Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon. Always toasted. The rest of the flavors were just shit!

According to Wikipedia, over 10,000 tons of pop-tarts are consumed in America every second.

All you Pop-Tart haters can fugetabout it! They aren't going anywhere. They're like a hot cookie! Who doesn't love that?

They're insanely sweet - as an adult, how can you like that?

R90 I did not say I eat them everyday. But they are undeniably delicious. Sugar is a natural high. Don't act like you are above it!

My ex was horrified when I mentioned they made watermelon poptarts, finding it a racist idea.

I'm surprised strawberry is so soundly beating raspberry.

Strawberry, Cherry, and Raspberry Pop-Tarts are all the same flavor!!! Wake up Sheeple!!!

Nope. Raspberry isn't as sweet, and that bit of tang (along with the bit of saltiness in the crust) is crucial to combat the insane sweetness of the rest of the Tart. That's all why toasting is mandatory.

R93, because people have the trash taste of babies.

I believe in Freedom of Tart but have to agree with you r96

R95 I'll be in a blind taste test, you couldn't differentiate between the three red Pop-Tart flavors.

Or, should I say, so-called flavors.

Frosted Cinnamon is won the the poll, and much of the comments, and some queens here are going full Hyacinth Bucket over it!

Frosted Cinannon clearly won because of election fraud.

America wants Frosted Cherry.

Is there any way to get a recount here?

New flavors: Peach Cobbler, Banana Creme Pie and Lemon Creme Pie.

Astonished that Brown Sugar Cinnamon is doing so well. In my family no one would eat those unless every other snacking possibility had been completely exhausted and your only option was to starve.

Do they make a diabetic version?

Thanks, R101, but those look horrible.

So-called foods like this should be illegal. They’re just terrible for you! no wonder why Americans are so fat.

R101 I can't wait for the "whale blubber" flavor.

R94 I only eat strawberry (and occasionally Brown sugar). I cannot stand anything raspberry flavored so I would not even try it. But I can tell you I once bought cherry and they were so nasty I could not finish the box.

Why would anyone buy Pop Tarts when it’s so easy to make your own?

Chocolate Fudge. How is this not even mentioned?

I only like the old school Pop Tarts - no tricked out flavors; even Cinnamon is too modern for me. Cold, Pop Tarts are blah, but toasted with melted butter on top, they are fattening, sugary heaven

R100 is right. A pile of votes for BS-Cinnamon appeared out of nowhere overnight. We need an audit of this poll.

I suppose CNN called it for BS-Cinnamon before the polls were even closed.

We've clearly been invaded by Russian trolls who steered results towards commie Cinnamon (produced by Vietnam, no less!) instead of good old American Frosted Cherry. #Stopthesteal!

I've always been a fan of the unfrosted strawberry or the smores.

I will admit, as a fat whore, on my last trip to Las Vegas, we went to the Donut Bar downtown and had a Pop Tart donut.

It was exactly what you think it was... a Pop Tart dipped in batter and fried.

It was warm and delicious with a glass of cold milk. My friend and I split it since I am not as much of a fat whore as I used to be.

Here’s what the typical home of someone who thinks Frosted Cinnamon is the best Pop Tart looks like.

George Washington chopped down a cherry tree. Cherries are American. Just saying do the math.

R115 is right. I don't recall George Washington chopping down any goddam Cinnamon or Strawberry trees.

I like your portrait on the wall r115

R115 George chopped down that tree because he didn't want anymore cherries and needed the wood for a new set of teeth!

Has anyone tried the Keto version?

[quote] Has anybody tried the Keto version?

No R199, I haven't. Then again, I've never eaten a dog shit I found lying in the road either.

They are coming out with peach, lemon, and banana flavor

Loved them as a kid; now I think they are flavorless.

R119... Ewwww! I don't eat imitation anything.

I have a whole large box of the frosted strawberry ones I bought last Dec. while in hibernation. I still can't bring myself to open them yet. Truly they are dietary suicide. But they are yummy in that specific poptarty way.

Always my favorite thing to discover in a random candy-vending machine, especially if it's in an office or space where's there's a toaster or, in a pinch, a microwave, just for a bit of warming.

R124 if you run out of toilet paper during the next pandemic, you can use them to wipe your ass.

R35 is some sort of obese homo I assume.

I'm enjoying this thread. (And I don't know if I've ever started one that got to 127 posts before.) Small pleasures. Like Pop-Tarts.

Please vote.

R128 you started this thread to lure the obese homos into your trap, didn't you?

Brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts aren’t “modern” unless you consider something that’s been around for almost 60 years “modern.”

[quote] you started this thread to lure the obese homos into your trap, didn't you?

No but, judging by the fact that strawberry is beating the far more sophisticated raspberry, it seems to have been the unintended effect.

Good Humor Pop-tarts ice cream bars

^^ Are those current?

Yes, they're new. I actually saw them today at the supermarket and thought of this thread.

Were they in the store, or in your cart?

Pop Tarts are disgusting, but I do have fond memories of them. They would always serve them at my daycare when I was a kid. While I liked cherry and strawberry the best, chocolate and apple cinnemon were served most often 🤮

[quote] While I liked cherry and strawberry the best, chocolate and apple cinnemon were served most often

R136, and it seems you have been holding that grudge ever since. Remember, revenge is a dish best served cold.

[quote] Remember, revenge is a dish best served cold.

Like Pop-Tarts!

HA, R135, I'm afraid I'm one of the few who doesn't like Pop-Tarts.

I'm the one who posted about the Keto version. I was actually in the frozen section looking for ice cubes and when I saw those bars, I thought of you guys,

I’ve always eaten unfrosted Pop-tarts because I assumed one couldn’t toast the frosted ones in a normal vertical toaster. Am I wrong?

R140, you cannot melt Pop-Tart frosting with a blow torch. Go ahead and toast away!

r25 you were able to do the math before. Magic. Can you tell how many have voted now?

Cinnamon Roll Pop Tarts. Every Saturday Morning, nice and warm with coffee, while the I listen to the Back in the Day Replay of 90s music with Downtown Julie Brown.

Thank to r141, a whole new world of Pop-Tarts has opened to me. Fat whores rejoice!

[quote]you cannot melt Pop-Tart frosting with a blow torch

WTF is in that frosting that it doesn't melt? I'm not so sure I'd want to eat anything that doesn't melt under extreme heat.

R145 I'm sure you wanna eat it... cuz it is sooooo good!

R140 just beware that after 5 seconds in the toaster, the fruit filling rises to the same temperature as the interior of the sun.

I think fruit fillings get hotter than BSC.

Yes I think you're right r148. Burned my tongue on berry but not brown sugar cinnamon goodness. Another reason BSC are the best!

None of the above, stupid cunt. The answer is ALWAYS Vivian Vance.

Cinnamon is a very American thing. I'd never even tasted it until I went to America and had cinnamon toast and was in love forever.

Apparently it goes back to the pilgrims or something.

Crepes avec cannelle are a thing in France, no? Or just for American tourists?

Those are better served heated, R136.

Brown sugar cinammon is so nasty... but they ALL must be heated. A dry cold pop tart is disgusting!

[quote] Brown sugar cinammon is so nasty

Just go.

Brown sugar cinnamon if toasted, frosted cherry if cold. Both fab, esp with a glass of milk.

R156 the only way I could eat BSC would be if it was frosted (and heated)

Cherry is just.. NO!

Frosted raspberry. BSC.

I usually just eat them cold but when I do heat them I then put butter on them

I freaking LOVED these as a kid, more so than even Pop Tarts. Our grocery stores quit selling them decades ago, though.

These are still around r160

Has anyone tried these new lemon?

Looks gross but sounds delicious. When has anything lemon flavored tasted bad?

This review makes them sound good

I remember when these first came out in the early '60s. Kellogg's would send them in the mail to get people to try them. The only one I remember is strawberry, unfrosted (I don't think any were available frosted). They were horrible, and I never asked my parents to buy any when Kellogg's stopped mailing to us. IIRC, we ended up throwing them out.

My grandmother went to a bakery twice a week and brought us home crumb buns and cinnamon rolls (no, she was not a fat whore). My father would buy donuts on Sundays. So we were never pastry-deficient.

I did eat the Thomas' cornmeal toaster cakes seen in r161, though. Toasted, with just butter.

PopTarts are no substitute for real bakery goods. They are their own food category.

OP= morbidly obese diabetic

Britney is my favorite Pop-Tart.
