    Has anyone tried the Red Velvet Pop Tarts? I saw them at the store the other day and I'm wondering if they're worth a damn. How about Confetti Cake? Pumpkin Pie?

    Confetti cake = yuck. Stole a couple bites of my daughter's and it was like a fake, sickly sweet taste. Bleh.

    I love the crust on pop tarts. My husband likes the fillings, so we share. Pop tarts are kinda rad like that.

    I hide my chocolate Pop Tarts from my kids.

    MAMA DOESN'T SHARE TOASTER PASTRIES.

    Try living in the UK. Frosted Chocolate or Strawberry is ALL we have had for years.
    Unless you buy them at a US food store, then they are like 12$ a pack.

    One supermarket has just branched into Apple&Cinnamon, Cherry and Wild Berry too but if im gonna eat them I want Smores, Oreo or Cake Batter, anything with fruit in just doesnt cut it!

    I actually stock piled the Limited Edition Hot Chocolate ones from this past December. I have a box and a half left. I can't squeeze in the calories all the time, but oooo! when I do! Those are my favorite!

    And now I see there is a new LE - Red Velvet?! I hope I can find these... I'll probably stock pile those too. :tongue:

    I don't know if it's because I never had one until I was 26 (mom NEVER bought them) or I'm just weird but I think Pop Tarts are awful. No chore for me to leave them alone.

    To me, and this is strictly personal, Pop Tarts would not be worth the calories. I don't know why I don't like them, but I don't.

    Pop Tarts are like everything else. Always better with ice cream and beer

    I have to disagree with you on that..lol. Poptarts are already really sweet for me...if I teamed it up with ice cream, I'd throw up. And the beer...I would think it would make it extra bitter (which is fine if you like really bitter beer).

    I like IPA with my ice cream

    2. Things

    Hopefully most of you have seen the new pop tart commercial where the pop tart couple go into the "photo booth" to have their picture taken, and its really a toaster. Lol. F'ing hilarious!!! Even though my lady thinks its mean.

    Also, please tell me I'm not the only one who would break off all the edges of the frosted pop tarts to eat it last after eating the rest of it. It's like eating candy. God please tell me I'm not alone. Anyone. Anyone. Damn I want a Pop Tart now.

    Yes I eat the edges last too. Especially if it's the chocolate one and ESPECIALLY if it got a little burnt in the toaster.

    I don't like them, either. They taste artificial to me, are unpleasantly dry, and too sweet. I didn't get fat eating Pop Tarts, though, and don't consider them a comfort food.

    I could eat an entire container of artichoke and jalapeno dip and loaf of bread in a sitting, though. I have my own food demons!
