How has no one mentioned the S’Mores flavored Pop Tarts?
Because, after all, they are clearly superior to any other style of Pop Tart.

there’s one thing you’ve gotta remember
there’s two kinds of people in this world
there’s three words you should never say
there’s one thing you should never do
there’s two good reasons to live
there’s only three ways to get things done
four, counting ‘do it yourself’
and they’re…)

Built to Spill, good song.
Carry on.
ahem. i, uh…like toaster strudels.
[sub]don’t hurt me[/sub]
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Darn you, Kellogg’s. Darn you to heck. Darn you BEYOND Heck. My life is ruined, thanks to you.
snif
Oh, well, I still like the chocolate… I suppse I can take some solace in that.
sobs quietly
My cherry Pop-Tarts are no more… the evil Kellogg’s people.
Anyone remember the Chocolate Graham cracker Pop-Tarts? With the gooey chocolate center that melted in the toaster and made a big mess? Those were the neatest!
… out-of-the-box pop tarts or warm toaster-burned pop tarts?
My vote goes to mildly cool pop tarts that have not been tainted by the toaster demons.

But… but…I’ve never even tasted a Pop-Tart, and thus I can’t form an opinion one way or another… and so I seem to fall in neither category.
So where does this leave me? Does this mean I’ve suddenly failed to exist?
Was Decartes all wrong? “I have a Pop-Tart opinion, therefore I am?” **
Well, I’m in Pop-Tart Opinion Limbo with you, drewbert. Clearly, as soon as the universe gets around to noticing this little glitch, we will cease to exist.
I am the Pop-Tart. Thou shalt not have any other toaster pastries except me. (That includes Toaster Strudel and generic “toaster pastries,” but not necessarily Hot Pockets and such.)
S’mores flavor is the ultimate incarnation of the Pop-Tart, followed very closely by Chocolate Fudge. In the kingdom of toaster pastries, unfrosted Pop-Tarts are made to serve frosted ones. Low-fat varieties are an aberration before God.
Thou shalt not prepare Pop-Tarts in a microwave oven. All Pop-Tarts should be prepared in a conventional 2-slice toaster, taking care to make appropriate use of the “single slice only” slot in the event that only a single Pop-Tart is being prepared for consumption. In a pinch, you may use a toaster oven or conventional oven. Given a choice between eating a Pop-Tart prepared in a microwave and one fresh from the box, you must choose the latter or spend your eternity doomed to the fires of the 8th plane of Hades.
Thou shalt channel surf whenever that stupid Toaster Strudel commercial comes on in which the idiot teenager commits unpardonable sin by not only choosing Toaster Strudel, but by rejecting the most holy Pop-Tart and hiding them in his locker at school.
Thou shalt not use Toaster Strudel glaze on a Pop-Tart. To do so is to defile a most holy object.
Dunking warm Pop-Tarts in cold milk is a special sacrament reserved only for the most holy days of the year. Disciples of the most holy Pop-Tart will refrain from dunking during periods of atonement.
Eating a frosted strawberry Pop-Tart that has been prepared according to the old customs (using a conventional toaster, removing the Pop-Tart from toaster just as browning begins to occur, consuming while filling is still hot enough to burn your mouth, washing down with glass of milk) will absolve you from all sins committed in the past month.
Disciples of the one true toaster pastry will not question the “8 for the price of 6” marketing tactic. We have our reasons.
Followers of the Church of Pop-Tarts must abhor all line extensions, including “pastry swirls” and “snak stix.” Yes, we are aware of the horrid sins being committed in the product development department at Kellogg’s. Those responsible will writhe in flames for all of eternity.
Enlightenment is obtained upon realization of the one universal truth - that Pop-Tarts can be eaten at, or in between, any meal.
First off I just want to say I didn’t think this thread would be so popular.
Anyways, how can ANYONE enjoy the chocolate-esque Pop-Tarts? (this includes any Pop-Tart with chocolate) They suck!
Anyways, yes, you non Pop-Tart eaters are im limbo, and I pray you will die before the universe finds out (don’t want to make THAT guy angry.)
They stopped making unfrosted cherry? Those bastards! There were only two unfrosted flavors I liked, strawberry and cherry (actually, strawberry is the only one where I prefer the unfrosted to frosted.)
Of course, everyone is gonig to think I’m weird now, because I also like the Wildberry flavor (with the swirly frosting.) I enjoy anything berry (except blueberry, evil.)

**<snip>Was Decartes all wrong? “I have a Pop-Tart opinion, therefore I am?” **
No, honey, it’s “I don’t think so, therefore I’m probably not.”
I like toasted, unfrosted raspberry, with nothing on it. At least, the last time I had a Pop-Tart, I did. That was about 18 years ago.
Y’know, today I saw some Pop-Tarts for sale in little packs next to the cash register while I was paying for gas. And I was tempted to buy some - they had cinnamon and blueberry - just to see what all this is about.
What the heck are these things? Is a toaster required? If so, why sell them at a gas station? If not, why are they called toaster pastries? And if I buy one, what precisely will I be getting? Will it be tasty? What will it taste like?
Also, and I realize this point is liable to prove contentious: what would be the flavor to buy? (This is assuming I pick some up at the grocery store and have the full typical range of flavors available to me.) Is there a classic or beginner flavor?
And what precisely is the difference between a Pop-Tart and a Toaster Strudel? I mean, okay, I get that one is the food of the gods and one damns you to hell for all eternity, but I’m a Pop-Tart atheist, after all. I want to know qualitative differences.
I’m a Pop-Tart virgin - guide me, folks. (Insert tasteless pun on “popping the tart” or what have you here.)

…Just use pop tarts instead of bread in your sandwich.
[/Doctor Nick]
And here I get to step in and play the pretentious, ultimate food snob by stating that I have never knowingly consumed a pop tart in my entire life.
Then again, my mother worked for many years at one of the finest bakeries in the San Francisco bay area. Needless to say, (then why say it?) I am totally immune walking down the pastry aisle of most markets.
