    not really if you live in Italy eat a real butter pastry. Mostly the are pressed cardboard of dry flour with some overly sweet jam that we Americans seem to be addicted to, and I'm one included. However, if I live in Italy with real food that crap would never touch my mouth.

    You aren't missing much.

    When I was a kid, and I ate them soaked in butter, they were heavenly.

    Nothing.

    ~chuckles~

    Thin cheap pastry filled with flavoured sugar paste basically.

    But for some reason I love the strawberry, no frosting ones. And will occasionally indulge.

    They used to be much better. Like everything else, in an effort to push the cost down, they skimp on the filling, frosting and overall size.

    You really haven't missed much.

    Picture eating a cardboard sandwich with a tiny bit of jam smoothed between the pieces topped with some kind of plastic-y "frosting".

    That's not to say I haven't had my share of pop tarts nor would I say no if someone were to give me a s'mores one.

    That's just what they kind of taste like

    Jelly filled pastry. They have an "icecream sundae " flavor that is frosting on the inside. It's pretty good in the freezer. I haven't had one in 4 years and I haven't missed it yet.

    yep in the freezer or toasted but must have a glass of milk to dunk or you are gonna get burned...Wait you are from Italy and any pastry or cookie Italian's make are going to be better than a POOP TART :bigsmile:

    sandwich some jelly of whatever flavor you desire between two pieces of cardboard, cover with the cheapest frosting you can find, heat and enjoy. Now you've had a pop tart.

    Agree with this... I dnt rate em either!

    You are missing nothing. I wouldn't cross the street for one.

    Leave the pop tart take the cannoli

    I love PopTarts--my favorite is brown sugar cinnamon.

    :flowerforyou:

    I used to eat a package every day, either for breakfast or an evening snack.
