I've always thought the name Pop-Tarts was brilliant.

1. Blech! n/t

[Thomas Hurt]

2. I have had these a few times in the past, frosted cardboard.

3. Blistering the mouths of children

Since 1964.

4. The originals looked sort of promising on the box

They sucked.

Frosted, even worse.

5. "Save $0.08 on your first package."

They are now $18.00 a box.

8. In what parallel universe?

Kroger sells them 8 in a box for $2.49, on sale a dollar off that.

9. Hmmm. Googled "pop tarts, price" and this was the first entry -

6. Never understood the appeal

They taste like crap and are loaded with sugar. Not exactly a healthy meal for kids or adults.

7. Haven't eaten either of these............

[nitpicker]

10. Survival-able camping food

Or put it into the cupboard for emergency rations in case of power outages.

There are cheaper no-cook alternatives, but if one wants a change...

((I always preferred the unfrosted stuff myself.))

11. My parents never bought these but my grandma did.

The unfrosted apple were pretty good especially topped with ice cream. I never considered them breakfast. They were dessert.

12. 57 years and haven't had one yet.

Yuck.
