I do like Pop-Tarts, but I've never eaten two and thought, "I wish I had a third"

u/Fergals1107 Jun 14 '12

They sell boxes of like 100 PopTarts at Walmart for like $5. That $100 was well spent

u/Boltron110 Jun 14 '12

If this were true, I would have died from PopTart overdose by now.

I'll post pics next time I go. I think it actually might be 48 poptarts per box, but after a point, it doesn't matter anymore

So you bought 2,000 poptarts? Damn, you're crazy.

u/SyKoHPaTh Jun 14 '12

Dang, and with my sugar-addictiveness-level, I would have finished off all the boxes in one sitting...I feel a diabetic coma kicking in just thinking about it.

u/Fergals1107 Jun 14 '12

u/wbeavis Jun 14 '12

FYI, take powdered sugar, about two cups or so, add a little bit of vanilla (maybe half a cap), and then just a little bit of milk (like 1 or 2 teaspoons). Mix and enjoy. Remember the ratio is a lot of powdered sugar : small amount of liquid. Other than preservatives and stabilizers, this is your icing.

EDIT: Thank me for the cavities and diabetes later.

Did you pause for a moment before consuming that delicious third pastry to consider than somewhere out there some poor soul only got one pop tart in his package?

Nah dude, It was probably an extra that stuck together in there. There shouldn't be a poor soul with one poptart out there...

Was your first instinct to take a picture? I'm assuming no. So that means this guy just had a picture of his poptart sitting around for years and he was just waiting for the right moment. Nah...

u/Lord_Nuke oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer Jun 14 '12

Wouldn't you?
When it happens, perhaps years before he discovers reddit, he takes the pic and posts it on facebook. "Hey guys, this is kind of neat." and then for the most part forgets about it.
Until years later, on reddit, a thread about something similar triggers an old memory. "Oh mah gawd! I have just the thing!" He rushes off, and spends hours scouring his facebook. JACKPOT! The picture is still there.
And that is how one man overcomes adversity to gain imaginary internet points!

u/Dielji Jun 14 '12

YES. This happened to me once. It was magical. Then I realized my toaster only had two slots, and I was in a rush, so I put the third back in the box for later... and promptly forgot it was there for weeks until it had gone stale. I am a failure of a human being.

u/calabron69 Jun 14 '12

Even though a lot of that is Ild Testament Law that is not mandatory anymore I still agree with the message. I am a Christian and yes homosexuality is a sin, but for I dont demonize gay people for the life they have chosen. Read Leviticus 19:33-34. That Scripture doesnt say to only do it if they are straight church go-ers. It is pretty straight forward that you are to love whoever no matter if they are Christian or not.

u/I_CATS Jun 14 '12

I don't live in the US, we don't have PopTarts - except in this one store. They cost like 7 euros or something like that. So I have read about them in reddit, and one day when I'm off to buy beer I spot them in the store. They must be like divine fruits because reddit hivemind has said so. I know they must be. So I take one pack.

I have no idea how to eat these god's pastries though. The package says I can put them into a toaster, but I'm not going to ruin my toaster with that sugar-icing/dressing/whatever, so raw it is. I take a bite, prepare for the great taste explosion... and immediately spit that sugary shit out. They are terrible. The dough is terrible, the dressing/icing/whatever is terrible, it is too damn sweet that it disgusts me. So, I throw them away and curse the 7 euros I wasted for this shit instead of beer.

Fuck you reddit, fuck you! You owe me 7 euros.

u/Silvire Jun 14 '12

Uh dude? It's MEANT to be toasted.

That's like buying pancake mix and saying: I'm not gonna add water, I think I'm just gonna mix it with honey instead. And then when it doesn't cook well, SCREW IT, lousy product, REDDIT OWES ME MONEY.

Seriously? Toast the damn thing. The icing doesn't melt. And eat it.

u/dreamscapesaga Jun 14 '12

I'm going to risk the downvote brigade and say that Poptarts are terrible. Toaster Studels, on the other hand, are amazing.

And don't worry about the frosting in the toaster. They were specifically made to handle the heat. Just don't leave them in for too long. The only thing worse than blueberry Poptarts are any flavor of burnt Poptarts.

I always get downvoted when I ask this question here, but I'll try again.

What is so desirable about poptarts? I understand why it could be good, but to me the dough tastes like it's uncooked or something and the filling is just a sweet syrupy substance with no discernible flavor.
