My boys used to chew their sandwiches into gun shapes all the time. What wasn't turned into a gun was turned into a sword! Criminals!0

Hey, that kid was just wrong!
That's not a gun, it's a stealth bomber . . .
Looks more like the outline of Idaho, if you tilt your head to the right to view it.
that's what i was thinking...
Wait, stealth bombers are disguised as Idaho?! Gee, so that's how it works . . .
I was thinking couple more bites and it could be Louisiana!
And just a couple more bites beyond that and it could be breakfast.
(Thank you, thank you...I'll be here all week. Two shows Friday and Saturday. Don't forget to tip your waitress, but never over 45 degrees.)
hahaha! hilarious! But didn't you ever nibble your pop-tarts into some sort of shape when you were a kid?0 -

No, I did not. However, I ate them the same way every time: I'd eat the "edges" off of the entire Poptart and eat the inside last. (I also ate Reese's peanut butter cups the same way.)0 -
The red filled like strawberry pop tarts get their color from red bugs. Horrid food.
If this was true, it would make red poptarts better. They use red dye #40, which is derived from coal. I'd rather eat a bug.
I thought Red 40 was made out of beetles?
And on a side note... what do you think we'll be eating if one of these apocalyptic predictions ends up being right some day? Bugs = protein.0 -

I still eat my Reese's that way! that's when I used to eat them - now they're just too many cals to log

The rules that schools have no are just plain ridiculous. They have really taken things too far. Here they have the "no sweets" rule but THEN have fundraisers at local fast food and ice cream shops. It's only ok if they are pimpin' your kids out to make a buck for the school. In my opinion we all must endure a little pain/sadness/sorrow in our lives to be able to appreciate the beauty of happiness, the way things are so delicately handled anymore will surely lead to an interesting future, indeed.
If be interesting you mean terrible, then i agree.
My dad used to carry his squirrel rifle to school during hunting season, just in case "dinner" stuck it's head out on the way home.
We carried actual rifles as props in the homecoming parade(they did make us remove the bolt. And put it in our pocket!)
When our boys were born, my wife didn't want them to have toy guns. I disagreed, but went along. Sure enough, one day in the yard, the two year old picked up a stick, pointed it at the dog, and yelled "bang". Now i'm pretty sure they own every model of Nerf gun manufactured.
When my boys were younger, I took them to see Santa at the mall. They sat on his lap, and of course he asked them what they wanted - both of them, without hesitation, said "A GUN!" I thought Santa was going to crap himself, he was really shocked. Nothing Santa said to them could convince them otherwise.0 -

Huh, cool.
My husband read somewhere that sometimes the term "natural flavoring" on an ingredient list (esp. vanilla flavored items) is actually some sort of secretion from beavers. Don't know how true that is... but I'm sure if beaver juice was going to be anywhere... it would be pop tarts! :smooched:0 -

I'm surprised you weren't arrested.0 -
The only problem that I see is that the poptart was strawberry and not brown sugar. Epic fail, kid.
Valid point.
And if it wasn't frosted, then that kid should be expelled permanently. No excuse for an unfrosted poptart.
Unfrosted pop tarts are an abomination & should be removed from the shelves.
I'm not much of a "pro big government regulations" kind of guy, but even I could get behind this initiative. And if this legislation happened to wipe out those no-name impostors that would occasionally trick my mom into buying them instead of actual Poptarts, then so be it.
The off brands sometimes taste almost like the real thing! You leave your innocent mother out of this0 -
Lord, I pray to thee, force them to start showing "TRUTH" commecials about Stupid People.
Amen.
But the people coming up with the ads are the stupid people, so I doubt it.0 -

Clearly you haven't had the red velvet pop tarts...
Cr@p. All this chatter is making me want to run to the store for poptarts.0 -

I don't blame my mom...I blame the evil impostor Poptart wannabes...which is why I'm okay with them being wiped from the face of the earth. Sometimes almost indeed.0 -

You'd think that would be too expensive. Or it's an artificial lab created beaver secretion..but then is it still natural? And since when is ANYTHING secreted from a beaver thought of as a flavoring? Enquiring minds...0 -

no, that would burn. Ban assult pop tarts!Oh and as for the poptarts....WTF!!! Its a freaking breakfast pastry! Its not like you could actually shoot someone with it and hurt them; you might get some filling on them but that would be yummy!0 -
I'm not sure what I expected to see when I opened this thread, but this definitely wasn't it. I can't decide if I should laugh at the sheer stupidity or cry that this is what the world has come to.0

Cry...most definitely cry...then laugh...wild uncontrollable laughter. Then, eat a Pot Tart in defense of common sense.0 -
You'd think that would be too expensive. Or it's an artificial lab created beaver secretion..but then is it still natural? And since when is ANYTHING secreted from a beaver thought of as a flavoring? Enquiring minds...From Wiki:
In the United States, castoreum as a food additive is considered by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be generally recognized as safe,[9] often referenced simply as a "natural flavoring" in products' lists of ingredients. While it can be used in both foods and beverages as a raspberry and strawberry flavoring,[10] and vanilla,[11] the annual industry consumption is around 300 pounds.[12]
Castoreum (pronunciation: /kæsˈtɔriəm/) is the exudate from the castor sacs of the mature North American Beaver (Castor canadensis) and the European Beaver (Castor fiber). Within the zoological realm, castoreum is the yellowish secretion of the castor sac in combination with the beaver's urine, used during scent marking of territory.[1][2] Both male and female beavers possess a pair of castor sacs and a pair of anal glands located in two cavities under the skin between the pelvis and the base of the tail.[3] The castor sacs are not true glands (endocrine or exocrine) on a cellular level, hence references to these structures as preputial glands or castor glands are misnomers.[4]
Today, it is used as a tincture in some perfumes[5] and as a food additive.
Vanilla, raspberry and strawberry... so somehow, beavers produce something appealing in flavor from their anal glands - who knew. Or... non-glands, as indicated above.0 -

Seriously???? who was the person who first thought, "Hey, I bet Beaver anal secretions taste like vanilla!"0 -
Is it bad that by pop tarts I thought you meant Britney Spears and the likes?0

Damn, now i'm really craving a poptart.
But seriously, that's ridiculous.0 -
A 7-year-old Anne Arundel County boy was suspended Friday for chewing his breakfast pastry into the shape of a gun and saying, “bang, bang”— an offense that the school described as a threat to other students, according to his family.
The pastry “gun” was a rectangular strawberry-filled bar, akin to a Pop-Tart, that the second-grader had tried to nibble into the shape of a mountain, but then found it looked more like a gun, said his father, William “B.J.” Welch. -- http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2013/03/05/pop-tart-gun-suspension-seriously-folks/
Of course, after this heinous incident, the school felt it was necessary to send a letter home to the parents of the traumatized students offering counselling to those who needed it. http://reason.com/blog/2013/03/05/school-offers-counseling-to-kids-trouble
Keep those Pop Tarts out of the hands of children!!! Only responsible adults can be trusted with a Pop Tart...let alone the second one in the package!!!
there isn't a SINGLE country on the entire PLANET where this could happen except the United States.0 -
Totally agree with the topic title...if by "evil", you actually mean, "awesome".
I caught my 11- and 8-year-olds singing Bohemian Rhapsody this morning before school and gave them a stern lecture about the appropriateness of song lyrics.*
(*Okay, that's a lie. I joined in and sang along with them.)
Scaramouch, Scaramouch will you do the fandango.....0 -
Hey, that kid was just wrong!
That's not a gun, it's a stealth bomber . . .
kid should be praised as an artist...because art is so subjective, you see stealth bomber I see glock.0 -
Surprised the parents were not hauled in because it is clearly their fault. I mean they gave this child a Pop Tart which is clearly unhealthy. I mean what is that stuff in the middle. Also, raising a dangerous gun wielding little boy. :laugh:0
