Pop Tarts

Is there any truth to the theory that if you put Pop-Tarts in a toaster and hold the handle down, it will burn like nothing else? It will spout flames three feet high? Anyone have photos online of any of these pop-tarts?

Haha! I was laughing for a long time after seeing this web page! Is THAT what college kids do on their spare time?!?!

What the Hell happened to Dutch Apple flavored Pop-Tarts?

When I was in first grade I wanted all my food intake to be in the form of Pop Tarts:
meat, veggie, soup, potatoes, ice cream. Gee, it still sounds good.

Uh, to give credit where credit is due, I think Dave Barry exposed the Strawberry PopTart/toaster in flames connection a few years back, in a very funny column. Don’t know where to find it, though.
