Those that love the brown sugar cinnamen Pop-Tarts, and think they are the best flavor out there, and those who hate the brown sugar cinnamen Pop-Tarts (who, by the way, are poorly misguided.) ---

Actually, there are three kinds of people: those who can count, and those who canā€™t. ---

No, thereā€™s two kinds of people in the world: those who split people up into categories and those who donā€™t. ---

This being an issue very close to my heart, I have to ask for a ruling on this. Frosted or Unfrosted? ---

Frosted. Has to be frosted. But berry-flavored Pop-Tarts are much better. Has to be Pop-Tarts[sup]TM[/sup]. None of this generic ā€œToaster Pastryā€ crap. Bleah. And in the spirit of the OP - there are two kinds of people in the world: Those who eat the edges off the Pop-Tart, saving the frosted part for last. Those who just eat the whole thing with no regard to frosted/unfrosted sections. (I am in the former category.) ---

There are two kinds of peopleā€¦ Those who _think_ brown sugar cinnamon is the best, and those who **know** strawberry frosted are the best. šŸ˜ƒ ---

There are two kinds of people in the world: 1. Those who are wistful for the good old days when Pop Tarts had more filling and frosting and didnā€™t taste like a slab of cardboard. 2. Those that are getting the munchies. ---

Unfrosted! Thatā€™s not even frosting. Itā€™s spackle! Cherry, unfrosted poptarts. Which I canā€™t find anywhere in Stillwater! Every other kind, yes. But no cherry! Damn it. ---

Unfrosted strawberry Pop Tarts are the way to go. If Iā€™m feeling wacky, I may go for unfrosted blueberry. My brother is devoted to the frosted chocolate Pop Tarts. Uncool, to say the least. ---

Winners, losers. I lost my power in this world, 'Cause I did not use itā€¦ And I go insane, like I always do And I call your name - sheā€™s a lot like you! {ahem} Sorry, thought this was another sing-along thread. Brown sugar cinnamon Pop-Tarts RULE! Esprix ---

Butā€¦ butā€¦ Iā€™ve never even **tasted** a Pop-Tart, and thus I canā€™t form an opinion one way or anotherā€¦ and so I seem to fall in neither category. So where does this leave me? Does this mean Iā€™ve suddenly failed to exist? Was Decartes all wrong? ā€œI have a Pop-Tart opinion, therefore I am?ā€ ---

But you are in error! Some of us refuse to eat the edges altogether, tearing or cutting them off in order to better enjoy the frosted part at the center! [sub](Please, no comments on the bizarre nature of the author of this post)[/sub] As I see it, the two kinds of people in the world are as follows: 1. Those who eat toasted pastries, and 2. Those who prefer pizza for breakfast [sub](Note: I donā€™t eat the crust of the pizza either)[/sub] šŸ˜› ---

You know you can get the low fat cherry pop tarts ā€¦ WITH FROSTING? :rolleyes: Am I wrong in thinking people who eat low fat pop tarts are trying to cut fat and calories from their diets? Sheesh. Time for a petition to Kelloggā€™s! [sub] Yeah, I know. Low fat Pop Tarts are kinda like low fat Oreoā€™s and low fat Twinkies. Pointless. But itā€™s the principle of the thing.[/sub] ---

Alas, **Juliana**! From the [Kelloggā€™s Product Locator FAQ](http://kellogg.marketlocator.com/kelloggs/us/kelloggsfaq.nsf/productlocator?openform), second link on the page: > [@](#): > > Due to lack of consumer demand a few products have recently been discontinued and are no longer available. These include: > > Toaster Pastries (unfrosted): > Kelloggā€™sĀ® Pop-TartsĀ® Toaster Pastries Cherry > Kelloggā€™sĀ® Pop-TartsĀ® Toaster Pastries Low-Fat Strawberry > > Toaster Pastries (low-fat) > Kelloggā€™sĀ® Pop-TartsĀ® Toaster Pastries Cherry ā˜¹ I wrote them a _stern_ email. Especially since they still make _grape_ Pop Tarts. Apparently the frosted low fat monstrosities were a limited run since they arenā€™t listed. Thank the heavens.
