    Good tasting, high carbs, low fat. Great way to get your carbs up with a minimal amount of fat.

    A lot of bodybuilders eat them as a post/pre workout carb source.

    yes, I know...LOL

    I love Poptarts...well actually the blueberry Kroger brand. The name brand Poptarts aren't as good as Kroger's. I haven't eaten them in months though because I have control issues lol.

  • S'mores poptarts are made with 'natural flavors' (it says so in the ingredients) that means they're healthy.
    Also, I'm glad to see they now have poptart minis. Those old poptarts were so bulky and cumbersome.

    LMAO... natural flavors means healthy? LMFAO

    It's called sarcasam..I know..it's early.

    The main difference is a psychological one. Can you eat just one/two? Will it not trigger binge eating? Do you exhibit self control? If yes, any simple carb/processed food/empty calorie snack is fine as long as you're within a calorie goal. But as someone who's recently tried IIFYM and miserably failed as it triggered a massive binge week resulting in a 7lb gain, eating such foods is never a good idea. For me it was Rice Krispies treats. I'd eat one and like a crack addict near a crackhouse I'd eat two, then three, then an entire box of cereal without even knowing what happened. The massive sugar influx made me feel like crap and I didn't even train. That said, if you're an ectomorph/mesomorph go ahead, enjoy them.

    Last but not least...

    Poptarts are cool every now and then. Cherry flavor for me. And for the haters....................don't hate because you may not handle them well. Many of the "supporters" of Poptarts here happen to be some of the fittest and healthiest on the site. We are that way because we just don't count on food as "make or break" for health.

    Absolutely true. To ME any drink, other than water, is a bunch of empty calories. BUT, I still indulge from time to time and don't pretend that I don't have anything "bad" or "empty". Point- nothing is wrong in moderation. So pop tart haters, get off your high horse. If you switched the word (Pop Tart) with Coca Cola or Pepsi, you wouldn't have anything to say........ well, maybe....."But I drink Diet".

    Our vending machine doesn't have toaster strudel. It's a pretty crappy vending machine. It also has "Chili Cheese Fritos" instead of regular Fritos. Pisses me off when I bring chili in and want to add fritos. Adding chili cheese fritos to chili would be too incestuous or something.

    I love the brown sugar cinnamon pop tarts. I heat them in the microwave for 10 seconds. I have not ate any since I started on this website because of the sugars but I love them.
