    I can't eat pop tarts because I have a gluten allergy...I would totally find a way to fit them into my calories if I could though. brown sugar cinnamon, no frosting :)

    All this talk of pop tarts, and I went to get one from the vending machine...$1.50!!! That isn't for a box. Grumbling because I am too cheap to do that. I'll have to buy a box this weekend....:angry::explode: :grumble:

    At my job, they are only $.50. Speaking of...maybe I need to go get one.....mwahahahaha!!!

    TODAY I found the red velvet poptarts. I bought them because I just wanted to try them. They seriously taste like an old stale cupcake. Not that great! I threw them out.


    The other day, I went to the grocery store to checkout the Red Velvet pop tarts, but they didn't have any. I love the strawberry with white frosting pop tarts. But because of the calories, I opted for the Special K crisps. I knew I was going to eat the whole box because it is like crack to me. Something about the strawberry and sugary topping-hmmm yummy. It was 500 calories and they were logged in my diary.

    The red velvet one's aren't as good as I hoped.

    Last night I was at Wal Mart and just happened to walk past the Pop Tarts, so I looked to see what flavors they had. Frosted marshmallow hot chocolate?! Yes, please! After I ate the second one in the pack, I was ready to pull a Paula Poundstone, but I resisted. Whew!

    I tried them when they first arrived in the UK (many years after the US had them I might add) and I thought they tasted like overly sugary cardboard?

    As back then I never read ingredients lists, tell me, is there anything natural in them whatsoever?

    Did you toast the Red Velvet ones? It really makes a difference.

    I actually found I like the Red Velvet ones 100% better cold. Which is odd, I normally like all flavors either way.

    The UK ones taste rubbish compared to the US ones.

    You know what beats all pop tarts? Trader Joe's organic pomegranate cherry frosted "pop tarts". They are out of this world.

    To follow my ice cream hating topic: Why all the hate for Pop Tarts? I'd love to hear why I shouldn't be eating two a day. My diary's open.

    -M

    Well, best answer I have: They don't freeze.

    Anything that doesn't freeze can survive the next ice age, that means it could quite legitimately become sentient. We already have to worry about skynet, popnet doesn't sound fun.

    So, seriously, they don't freeze, so they're awesome to take when camping in the snow, good quick energy source, doesn't go bad. They're awesome. I want to eat a strawberry one right now.

    On a topic though, i've looked at your dairy, if 2 poptars were the only source of added sugar for you, you would be fine. But you know you went over the limit with those cookies... (only looked at the most recent day)
