Greatest thing EVER...
Artificially flavoured.
It's always better to be eating something a bit more natural.
Why SHOULD you eat them?0 -
OMG, I didn't know they made those. If I did, I think I would have twice as much weight to lose now.Greatest thing EVER...
I have no idea why I like Pop Tarts so much. All I know is I dont buy them because I will eat the whole box.0 -

Because they're absolutely delicious. That flavor in particular.0 -
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.

I seem to hear that a lot from people outside the US. When I open the package they're soft, moist, fresh and delicious without even heating them. Perhaps it's an exporting issue.0 -
honestly the confetti cupcake ones would be the death of me lol0

Those are super delicious. I go in spells too. I'm on the chocolate chip cookie dough ones right now. nom nom nom0 -
I just plain hate 'em. Toaster strudel, all that sort of overly sweet disgusting excuse for breakfast food. Haven't eaten them since I was a kid.0

I'm outside the US, I find them cardboardy and dry. But then I don't like American sweets or chocolate so maybe they use the same sweetener or something?!
Give me a proper cake or fresh pastry instead any day of the week!0 -
well they are full of sugar
they are empty caleries
they are pure JUNK
Is this even in English?! These things have over 50 different ingredients and I am pretty sure nothing in them is of nutritional value to our bodies. (That is a red flag right there—if there are more ingredients in your product than you can even pronounce, chances are it is not good for you! )
Kellogg’s claims they are “a good source of 7 essential vitamins and minerals”. That just makes me laugh out loud! Where are these hidden? Underneath the high fructose corn syrup, sugar, and vegetable oil? Please do not believe that you are getting anything other than a sugar rush from this product.
Here is the nutritional breakdown of one Pop-Tart. (not one pouch, but one tart!)

So again, all I see is sugar and sodium with a sprinkling of protein. Not exactly the breakfast of champions, is it?
Mine are already in the trash….how about yours?0 -

Meh, I don't care what you eat.
IMHO, if someone has achieved all of their nutrient goals and want to indulge in a dessert, what difference does it make if it's a pop tart or apple pie or a slice of decadent sasher cake? I do think it's a bad idea to SUBSTITUTE poptarts for an actual meal though.... I know people who give their kids poptarts for breakfast as though it's a MEAL and it makes me cringe but I hold my tongue.
Eat what you want.. just don't shove it down my throat and we'll all get along famously. I've had people give my the unsolicited advice that I should be using skim milk in my coffee instead of half and half.. Why the heck does ANYONE care what I put in my coffee? it's not like I'm running around spiking other people's coffee with actual dairy cream.. I'm just choosing it for myself.0 -
Three words, since you asked... High Frucose Corn Syrup. Derived from GMO corn. HFC is one of the biggest offenders causing Obesity, Diabetes and Metabolic Syndrome.0

200 calories, 14g's of sugar and 220 mg of sodium is hardly a lot or "loaded". I don't eat them for breakfast. There's nothing wrong with sugar or vegetable oil. What was your point again?
Anything over 5% per serving is considered a "good source" by the FDA so they're allowed to put that on the box. Nutrients are listed right there:
Mine are most certainly not in the trash:
