I grew up eating these. They were my dads favortie. Un frosted strawberry, toasted, with melted butter on top. Pretty good actually!0

I used to love pop tarts but now I can't really justify that 400 calories (because, you know, it's the whole pack or none at all). I actually prefer the Kellogg's version of the pastry crisp.0

Yet another necro thread resurrection I don't understand, but this is worse because it reminds me I never tried buttering a Pop-Tart as I assumed I would one and a half years ago.
I'm stopping to pick up some discount Valentines candy on the way home, might as well grab a box of Pop-Tarts too.
But it's a POP-TART necro thread. And I missed it the first time around, so I'm ok with it.
I actually prefer unfrosted. Always have, even as a kid. They are road trip food for us, for some odd reason.
Because they’re great day or night, rain or shine, toasted or right out of the package. They last forever; they can be shared or eaten by twos. There are endless varieties, and they can be found everywhere: even gas stations. They are literally the perfect road trip food. I’m sorry; odd is incorrect. The reasons are clear.
You've obviously never tried to clean ground up Pop-Tart out of rental car upholstery

A correct assumption. I can imagine that fruit paste inside is a real pain once stepped on countless times and left to sit. Perhaps switch to Toaster Strudels?1 -

This is my concern. Because I can't imagine buttering a frosted Pop-Tart is the same effect. I mean, I guess you could butter the underside.
Luckily, worst case scenario, I have Toaster Strudel at home. Maybe I could try buttering them!0 -
I'm absolutely 100% obsessed with Pop-tarts. I can't buy them because I could eat an entire box in one sitting. Honestly, I can't even walk down the grocery store breakfast aisle because of the Poptart Torture. I vividly remember the moment I read the nutrition info on the back of the box and learned that a single serving is only ONE pastry. Like, who the eff eats just ONE pastry when you open that shiny foil? Only a mental case would eat a single poptart. #frosted4ever6

This needs to be researched. ASAP.3 -
Peanut butter pop tarts with butter. I wish I never discovered them.
ETA: Ok, I lie, I'm really glad I discovered them!3 -
I have acquired unfrosted strawberry Pop Tarts. I am eating on as is on the way home as a baseline control group. For science.14

Make sure to drop some on the floorboard and step on it for about a week. Then try to clean it and report back. And as always, thank you for your sacrifice.4 -
Result #1: An unfrosted, unbuttered Pop Tart is a sad way to spend 210 calories #sorrynotsorry.6

No. I assumed that since IMHO frosted Pop Tarts taste the same to me toasted or not that the same would apply to unfrosted. That might have been a faulty assumption. Science is hard.6 -
I prefer unfrosted. The pumpkin pie ones are pretty good, despite the frosting. I prefer not to have them in the house because it's way too easy to eat 2000 calories before you realize what happened.1

I can see a lot of variables to try. I’m thinking heated with butter and sprinkled with a light dusting of sugar... for science obviouslyemmamcgarity wrote: »

Boards like this make me crave stuff like this. The problem is once I eat 1 package i'll be good until the next random pop tart board but i don't want a box of em sitting in my cupboard to stale... And I may want a different flavor next time. I just want a SINGLE PACKAGE but can't find any
Gas station or vending machine...0 -
Result #2: I can dig buttered unfrosted Pop Tarts, I would classify it as yummy. But I'll be honest, I think I'd rather just have a frosted one. Maybe someday I'll find a different flavor unfrosted and try again. But as of right now, I'm a Frosted Pop Tart girl.
Now I'm excited to see if buttered Toaster Strudel beats buttered Pop Tarts. I have more than run out of calories for today, so subject 2 will have to wait until tomorrow.
I would encourage anyone interested to run their own study. Because it doesn't mean anything if the results can't be replicated.5 -

I had forgotten how sweet these things are, I'm not sure dusting with sugar would've registered 1
