Long ago, when a young niece wanted her mom to buy Pop-Tarts for breakfast, we looked it up, on the new-fangled internet…
IIRC, ONE little real Pop-tart had about 200 calories … and 16 grams of sugar… 4 teaspoons worth.
About the same as a candy bar… but Pop-Tarts come in packs of TWO…. 400 calories and 32 grams of sugar for a child’s BREAKFAST!
Even my niece decided it was a bad idea.
46 of them… even if Agnes means 23 2-packs… cos it’s possible Tony has never actually seen a Pop-Tart… is over 9,000 calories…
about enough to fill up an older adult and a child for two whole days, without any real nutritional value, unless maybe there’s half a gram of berries or apples.
If they’re some kind of dollar store knock-offs, any trace of real fruit is probably eliminated.
Luckily, ‘toons can live on paper, ink and air… otherwise I’d worry about Agnes…
especially the way she and Trout suck up Oreos and Icees.
Growing up in central PA, we received more than our fair share of snow. The local road crew not only had plows, but knew how to use them. The worst thing was after shoveling when the plows came by and left a big strip of snow at the end of the driveway. More work!
Assume that Grandma also enjoys Pop-Tarts, and they divide them evenly. To run out of them in the time frame Agnes is anticipating, they would each have to eat, on average, one per hour for the next 23 hours. Such a pace of ingestion (of any food), besides being very unhealthy, is . . . frightening.

Well Agnes, you could always eat broccoli. Or even kale salad.

Here’s hoping that Grandma is also stocked up on frozen corndogs and burritos. Gotta cover all the basic food groups.

First there was hoarding toilet paper now it will be pop tarts. Thanks for the idea Agnes.

If I were even going to try to eat that many pop tarts, I would need several gallons of milk
Better hurry, milk is one of the first things a grocery store runs out of before a big snowstorm
