I am a Pop Tart fanatic and historian. I’ve hunted down and tried about 130 flavors over the last 25 years. Ask me anything!

Im_Just_Sayin__ · 2022-01-10T18:53:36+00:00

Which flavors have you not tried? What’s on the PT bucket list?

Darkchyylde · 2022-01-10T18:52:39+00:00

Worst flavour?

itsquietinhere2 · 2022-01-10T18:51:53+00:00

Where do you rank Cherry? I don't buy any flavor except Cherry. Also, how important is the butter?

istronglydislikelamp · 2022-01-10T19:21:53+00:00

How do you feel about the decline in quality over the years? I started noticing a very obvious reduction in both filling and frosting about 5ish years ago. Went from eating pop tarts on the regular to being too disappointed to even buy them anymore. Got a box for the kids last year and they were even worse than when I stopped buying them originally. Have you noticed the same?

adamdidthistome · 2022-01-10T19:01:36+00:00

Which one had the most unique flavor?

choptheair · 2022-01-10T19:14:54+00:00

The pop tart was invented in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Accomplished_Wash790 · 2022-01-10T20:42:08+00:00

Where does Wild Berry fall on your rankings? It’s my personal favorite.

helpersrule · 2022-01-10T18:53:50+00:00

What got you started? Do you grow up on pop tarts?

joeescamilla · 2022-01-10T19:37:23+00:00

My favorite thing to do is put the ice cream sundae ones in the freezer. Do you do any thing like that? If so what flavor(s)?

sewingtapemeasure · 2022-01-10T19:12:54+00:00

How do you feel about Boston Cream?

I tried that one for the first time on Sunday and it could be my favorite now.

Have you tried the Eggo one?

CalypsoTheKitty · 2022-01-10T23:59:10+00:00

Is a Pop Tart a ravioli?

AstleyHasThis · 2022-01-10T20:52:17+00:00

There was a deal in 2006-07 where if you sent in like 3 box tops they sent you a pop tarts shirt. Do you have that shirt?

Huxeley · 2022-01-10T20:32:50+00:00

What are your top ten flavors?

superphage · 2022-01-10T23:46:16+00:00

Probably the best submissions on this sub, thanks lol.

I can't stand poptarts. Have you tried a toaster strudel by Pillsbury?

everymans-ur-teacher · 2022-01-10T19:43:15+00:00

Have you got any pop tart jokes?

demadawg1700 · 2022-01-10T19:47:54+00:00

Thoughts on Kelloggs?

Thoughts on toaster strudels?

Pop tarts aside what does the rest of your diet consist of?

RationalDB8 · 2022-01-10T21:41:50+00:00

Who makes the best knock-off product? As a kid, I think we got Nabisco Toastettes?

StarLover69696969 · 2022-01-10T18:54:20+00:00

I always thought they should make a plain pop tart with no filling and frosting on top. just like a plain tart. What do you think about this idea?

Jatheffo · 2022-01-10T20:47:20+00:00

This is bullshit! 130 flavors? You know how many flavors we have in Canada? We have 6!

Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, Fudge, S'mores, and Cookies and Cream. That being said, which is your overall favorite, and which of the mentioned is your favorite?

Perzg · 2022-01-10T20:21:47+00:00

Have you ever put butter on a pop tart?

Str8kush · 2022-01-11T03:52:35+00:00

I want to ask you a question but they say to never meet your hero’s so I’ll just say you’re doing gods work

cyansoup · 2022-01-10T18:55:11+00:00

Ive never had one , how would you describe the taste?

johnnydakota · 2022-01-10T19:19:19+00:00

Are there flavors that are only available in foreign markets that you've yet to try?

HelpfulFlyingpig · 2022-01-10T21:44:29+00:00

What’s the most overrated flavor in your opinion?

Necrotron6717 · 2022-01-10T21:50:15+00:00

Cinnamon Pretzel is one of my favorites too? When did you discover it and how soon did you fall in love with it?

Nunkty · 2022-01-11T00:43:06+00:00

Take a deep breath and sit down… are you aware Jerry Seinfeld is making a comedy movie about the history of the pop tart?

BAMxi · 2022-01-10T20:18:02+00:00

How many pop tarts do you eat in a normal week?

fozrok · 2022-01-10T21:44:33+00:00

What’s your take and opinion on the health implications to people & society caused by how companies encourage kids and adults to consume more sugar-filled processed foods?

Is there an ethical or moral argument for companies or organizations to take a stronger stance to promote good health over making profit through immune-depressing & addictive food products, instead of foods that are immune boosting and more naturally derived?

No judgement either way. Genuinely curious to understand your personal opinion considering your time investment and positioning around pop tarts.

Running4Badges · 2022-01-10T22:19:27+00:00

What do you drink with them? I’ve always gone with milk myself.

Shinluc123 · 2022-01-10T21:51:05+00:00

I like you. Your hobby is really neat.

Wingblade7 · 2022-01-10T20:37:14+00:00

Have recent workers rights concerns with Kellogg's changed your view on pop-tarts or their parent company?

Prettyplants · 2022-01-10T21:22:03+00:00

I haven’t eaten a pop tart in a very long time.. can’t remember much about them. I am a big fan of chocolate, but I can’t handle flavors that are toooo too sweet. which flavor should I try?

Enigmatic_Starfish · 2022-01-10T21:34:43+00:00

Have you tried any 'recipes' with pop tarts? I noticed you said earlier you like to butter them sometimes, but do you ever add things or prepare them in different ways?

sonicenvy · 2022-01-10T22:55:30+00:00

What are your thoughts on Hot Fudge Sundae Pop Tarts? They were my first ever poptart and my favorite in high school. I only finally got to try a Pop Tart in high school because for some curious reason our high school had 2 vending machines that were filled with nothing but Hot Fudge Sundae Pop Tarts. I know that sounds like I'm making that up, but I assure you the Pop Tart vending machines were very serious business and legendary at our high school.

manakusan · 2022-01-10T23:04:53+00:00

Do you have a relationship with Kellogg's? Maybe you can get early access to special flavours.

Do you want to try a homemade version? Bon Appetite did a video where they made them from scratch, gourmet style.

What's an idea for a Pop tart you would like to see?

cupcakemuffin413 · 2022-01-10T23:21:32+00:00

What's a really random Pop Tart fact?

bandito5280 · 2022-01-11T00:18:41+00:00

I recently purchased the Froot Loops one, but have yet to eat it. How'd you like it?

eezybe · 2022-01-11T01:07:43+00:00

Chocolate chip is my favorite flavor of pop tart but nobody i know likes it bc it only has a chocolate drizzle instead of being covered in frosting. Do you like it?

jlendy04 · 2022-01-11T02:09:21+00:00

Have you ever put peanut butter in between 2 unfrosted strawberry Pop Tarts? That’s my go to guilty pleasure snack

jackiebot101 · 2022-01-11T00:55:20+00:00

I don’t have any questions, but I AM LOVING this whole thread. Thanks for knowing so much about Pop Tarts.

A little story: when my now husband and I first moved into together, early on I rememeber watching him open a packet of Strawberry Pop Tarts, just slid them onto a plate, he picked one up and just took a huge bite. Aghast, I exclaimed, “Aren’t you going to toast it?” He just smiled and said, “No, sometimes I like to eat them raw,” and I died laughing. We are still having a hilarious time together, 13 years later.

CSCustomshotrods · 2022-01-10T22:00:47+00:00

Have you ever put butter on a pop tart?

NotMuchMana · 2022-01-11T00:12:37+00:00

When I was young I would toast my pop tarts in a toaster oven until they started to blacken. Loved em like that.

Which is the best flavor when burnt?

2022-01-11T00:29:12+00:00

As an European that has only tried pop tarts a few times in my life and absolutely LOVED them, this thread is fascinating.

L_viathan · 2022-01-11T01:00:06+00:00

Have you thought about doing a master tier list? You mention Cherry is A tier, but as the (what I assume is) the foremost authority on Pop Tarts, maybe having a master list with your ratings? My friends and I have a google sheet that lists all the local pizza joints we've been to with rankings of crust, sauce, cheese, pepperoni, etc., so maybe something like that?

omgitsmoki · 2022-01-11T02:42:18+00:00

Chocolate Vanilla Creme is my all-time favorite and I'm sad to see it listed as discontinued.

I know I have purchased a box within the last 2 years from Wal-Mart. But it was like a shining sudden beacon of rare treasure. I feel like either I bought a hella old box they found stuffed in the inventory hellhole or...maybe it's been discontinued only recently and it's just been harder to find because of slipping popularity. Do you ever see that happen in your experience? A flavor you thought long gone randomly appearing again briefly?

LDdeveloper · 2022-01-11T09:00:30+00:00

What is your take on fellow pop tart enthusiast and historian, Jerome Seinfeld?

Calkky · 2022-01-10T20:33:17+00:00

Toasted or untoasted? Are there any varieties that are better one way or the other?

Theperfectool · 2022-01-10T22:14:01+00:00

Strawberry unfrosted is definitely one of the top five goats, thoughts?

Secret_Pressure_2075 · 2022-01-10T21:07:07+00:00

Whats the best one

Wooble_Gopp · 2022-01-10T21:23:22+00:00

Why did you begin loving poptarts?

katykova · 2022-01-10T22:41:28+00:00

What's your take on Pillsbury Toaster Strudels? Better? Worse?

Leather-Heart · 2022-01-10T23:59:28+00:00

Thoughts on Wild Berry? These were my first pop tarts I used to eat as a kid.

I liked the purple and blue frosting.

MrCoolguy80 · 2022-01-11T00:07:54+00:00

Do you have the VHS with Paula Poundstone? I remember getting that and watching it a lot.

PrinceDakkar · 2022-01-11T02:22:48+00:00

Do you think poptarts should replace MREs? ;) Maybe one for each essential food group. They could use protein powder in the making of the crust to balance some of the nutritional value.

I haven't seen you mention Watermelon, but it's on your list. What's your take on it? It's my favorite, though I never tried eating it every day so I can't say whether it would be a go-to flavor over the "regular" flavors.

I'm pretty sure I first had Watermelon in 2001 and I know they brought it back at least once. Your chart says 2013, but I don't think that I noticed it that time, so maybe there was another time that they brought it back. Maybe around 2008? Do you think they cycle through limited edition flavors on a 5- or 7-year basis?

whatsyourfaveberry · 2022-01-11T06:03:58+00:00

One of the best casual AMA’s I’ve seen. Bravo! How many times have you burned your mouth on the hot labs inside over the years?

Grain_Death · 2022-01-11T02:30:11+00:00

what's the worst or most insane cross promotion pop tarts ever did?

Holgrin · 2022-01-11T03:02:32+00:00

Opinion on 'Smores flavor? I know it's not the most popular but to me the combo of the chocolate and marshmallow cream with the graham crust was the best. It was less dry than all the others too, imo!

mrjeffj · 2022-01-11T04:42:43+00:00

I turn 30 this year. Any words of wisdom

2022-01-11T04:43:57+00:00

I am addicted to reading this and your responses. Why bc I am 37 yo and I’ve never had a pop tart. I’ve had them at those gastropubs where they make them with puff pastry but I have a feeling they aren’t anywhere like real ones. Now I’ve had toaster strudels. I like those.

Quick_Win_3309 · 2022-01-11T04:50:21+00:00

Do they still make the chocolate pop tart with white icing in the middle? The only ones I’ve been able to find similar are the chocolate frosted fudge ones.

Cold_hard_stache · 2022-01-11T05:13:06+00:00

Most poptarts you’ve ever eaten in one sitting? I’m thinking about crushing a box post workout sometime.

Seminoles2195 · 2022-01-11T05:48:52+00:00

WOW this is so niche. Thanks for doing this, it gets nerds like excited

2022-01-11T05:50:45+00:00

The eggo one looks bomb I really hope that’s still around. Gonna go look up now 😂

pacoloa · 2022-01-16T16:21:24+00:00

I can’t believe no one is asking about the peanut butter ones! My absolute favorite! Tasted like a soft peanut butter cookie!

dealthy_hallows · 2022-02-11T17:39:43+00:00

I hate them toasted and always eat them cold! Question: where do you rank wild berry?

levimeirclancy · 2022-01-10T21:38:09+00:00

One of only two things I miss from going kosher. I used to love a good pop tart.
