I haven't had a Pop-Tart since I was a kid. Not tempting to me at all.2

Someone needs to test this for me, I don't have an air-fryer! 2 -
Pop Tarts were my weakness before starting this journey. I could easily eat two packages in one sitting. It's like the more you have the more you want with those. Frosted Strawberry are my all-time favorite, but S'mores was good when I wanted something chocolatey. Brown Sugar and Cinnamon is also awesome.1

Never had them growing up; did have them when older at friend's, probably not since in late teens or early 20s.
Like donuts, my mind boggles on how these can be considered breakfast food.0 -
The unfrosted pop-tarts look naked to me, lol. However, I do like the pop-tart crisps that they've come out with. I guess they are still a bit frosted, though. Just less so.0

I wonder why they would need artificial flavoring for something cinnamon-flavored. I get why artificial vanilla is used - it is so much cheaper. But this puzzles me.0 -

I've not but they sound interesting.
I'm still waiting for pop tarts that are frosted on both sides.1 -

I tried one - not bad but I wouldn't buy them. Not pretzely enough4 -

I have. They were fine but disappointing. I found them a little dry and they didn't get crisp enough to really say "pretzel" to me. But as someone who considers pretzels one of the major foundational food groups, I might be a little picky

I have been wanting to try these so I am glad to see the reviews by you guys. Looks like I am not missing out on much.0 -
(Curmudgeon mode: on)
This seems like first-world food science at its most hyper-palatable:
"We have this super-sweet and kinda high-fat food. How can we extend the brand?"
"I've got it: Let's add something salty!"
"Yaaaaay!"
"We have this super-sweet, kinda high fat, plus salty food. How can we extend the brand?"
"I've got it: Let's add chocolate!" (Coming soon: Chocolate, brown-sugar, pretzel pop-tarts).
"Yaaaay!"
"We have this super-sweet, kinda high fat, salty, chocolatey food. How can we extend the brand?"
"I've got it: Let's add bacon!" (Coming in 2023, or thereabouts . . . .)
"Yaaaaay!".
Murca: Where every sweet adds salt and bacon; every bacon adds carbs and extra sugar/chocolate; everything eventually becomes some kind of candy bar. Maybe with marshmallows and butter.
Am I saying this is wrong? Nope. I'm just saying.

LOL, so true!
I am surprised cheezits havent done a chocolate or caramel cheezit. (like cheese and caramel chicago popcorn)1 -
I was an adult in college before I realized that people EVER ate Pop Tarts without butter. Frosted or unfrosted, I grew up buttering them. Now I’m 33 and I probably haven’t eaten a Pop Tart in like 5 or 6 years. Makes me want to buy some to relive my childhood.2

Until reading this thread I had no idea people buttered pop tarts, and I'm 37. I guess you do learn something new every day.3 -

lol is it a regional thing??0 -
still my favorite.1 -
I tried a pop-tart years ago and found the experience less than gratifying. Taste and consistencies reminded me of an Amazon Prime corrugated box. The ink does add a distinctive flavor to the cardboard, and the glue that holds the tape on the box is much like the PT filling. 😜🤣🤣2

I don’t think I’d enjoy pop tarts if I didn’t have such a strong nostalgic relationship with them. I remember my brother and I toasting them and putting butter on them. Probably one of my first memories of preparing food on my own and using a kitchen appliance.0 -

I 100% think the only people who buy poptarts are the ones who have that nostalgic tie haha2 -

You don't think this thread (among many others) provides solid evidence that there are people who actually actively enjoy eating foods that are (objectively, in my/your/various others' subjective opinions) truly terrible tasting?
Okay. 1 -

I've never even heard of doing that until it was mentioned on Family Guy Judging by the popularity on this thread, I think I need to try it! 0
