I can’t decide: would lemon pop-tarts be yummy or disgusting? ---

My vote would be for yummy. Are there actually lemon pop tarts or is this a hypothetical question? Cuz I really want one now… 😉 ---

yummy with tea, disgusting with milk. ---

Yeah, lemon Pop-Tarts would rule. I say bring on the tasty, citrusy delight! Maybe with some crunchy lemon icing on top… and little yellow sprinkles? ---

I don’t know…sounds not-so-good to me. Citrus Pop-tarts? Just seems _wrong_, somehow… ---

I think it sounds yummy. Those lemon fruit pies are good, although a bit overwhelming. Pop Tarts would be good but not overwhelming, I would think. Frosting and yellow sprinkles would be a good touch. Other citrus would not work. ---

Yummy. Like lemon danish. Or, like lemon-filled jelly donuts. ---

Pop-tarts? One of the most god-awful substances ever foisted off on the human race as food. Crusts made of uncured library paste filled with just enough artificially flavored jelly to feed one cockroach (if the cockroach is sick and has no appetite). I can’t even begin to imagine why people put such things in their mouth. ---

If it weren’t for the fact that any Pop Tart would suffer from the over-sweetened American pastry syndrome, I’d say that lemon would be good. Ever have lemon curd on a warm muffin or scone? Yummers. ---

I think if it had a nice, flakey crust like a lemon bar it would be super good! Perhaps it would just be a better idea to make it a lemon Toaster Strudel. Them’s good eatin’s! ---

Pop-tarts are pure mana. Heaven has several cloud tops devoted solely to chocolate fudge and cinnamon Pop-tarts. ---

Hey now, Mister **RealityChuck** … don’t you go bustin’ on my favorite breakfast treat-treat! I bet you hate Easy Cheese and Saltines, too. (That and a glass of cheap white wine say Happy Hour to me, baby! Yum.) Yeah… I got my eye on you… 😃 ---

**Geobabe** ,what can I say? Karaoke, Pop-Tarts, Easy Cheese… and now Pringles? You are just way fabulous! It’s too bad that you live all the way in Northern Virginia. We Baltimoreans (well, me at least) rarely go south of the city. (I’ll try the Easy Cheese on Pringles and let you know what I think!) Hey, wait, I just thought of something else good… how about chocolate frosted Pop-Tarts with crunchy peanut butter? ---

Lemon would be most excellent, I’d say. Mmmmmmmm. I’d eat them. I’d eat lots of them. I’d eat ALL OF THEM AND YOU GUYS WOULDN’T HAVE ANY!!! HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! Oops. Sorry about that. :eek: [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/pop-tart-question/88221.md?page=2)
