Remember having one when they first came on the market. Can’t remember having one since. But in those days, there were more retail bakeries with really good pastries. Now those I miss.
As an example of progressive changes, I mentioned microwave ovens originally had no turntable and then you could buy them and then they came with them. Several around me were surprised to learn they did not always come with turntables.
Poptarts are the bane and boon of kid kind in the USA. If it is all the breakfast they get, it is a boon. If it is every snack they get it is a bane. Besides, we never grow out of pop tarts and peanut butter. I am surprised they don’t put poptarts in MREs.
Frosting them didn’t help. I went to the fruit pies, but they are major brand, and so expensive. Aldi only has cherry and apple (2 of my favorites) but they’re a half a buck each. I can do that.
The go to food in hurricane country pantries. Don’t require refrigeration or heating up and can stay “fresh” in those little mylar bags forever. I don’t eat them and don’t have any in the house, but my cousins live in Saskatchewan and always have about 6 – 8 boxes on hand for the winter. Mostly in their cars as a part of the winter driving kit. If you live in snow country now is a good time to replenish/replace your car survival kit. Rotate out any old bottles water and check any emergency rations you might have. And reload with a few more. And don’t forget the other stuff; blankets, socks, hand warmers, small hand saw and such.

I’ve never like the frosted ones. They make my teeth hurt.

Pop-Tarts were created in 1964 but were not frosted until 1967, when the developers found out that the frosting could withstand the toaster…

Philosophically I’d like to kill the person who decided that salt on bread sticks had to be discontinued!

Wal*Mart brand pop tarts are nicer than real ones. More filling.

You can have all my pop-tarts. Frosted or unfrosted – they weren’t worth the effort of heating them up.
