Just eat handful of sugar with cinnamon - you are not missing out on anything. It's just marketing strategy to make boomer spend money on unhealthy shit

The jungle?

>>12120725
You ever fuck so good that it makes you wonder if God exists somewhere out there in the form of a rich pink strawberry?

Yeah it's like that.

>>12120742
close; South America.

>>12120725
they're pretty good, but now it's more of a nostalgic thing than anything else.

>>12120745
That's what you get for living in a third world shithole.

s'mores poptarts are the only acceptable flavor

>>12120725
The s'more ones are fucking great, toasted or right out of the sleeve. Not a fan of pretty much any other poptart though.
>>12120745
There's got to be a generic equivalent, right? Anything close to a toaster-ready rectangle pastry filled with shit?

>>12120753
It’s aight

Don't be born there next time.

based. The only ones I like are strawberry, cookies & cream, smore, and cinnamon sugar.

They’re ok, kinda dry and some of them lack flavor somehow sometimes. Of the ones I’ve tried strawberry and gingerbread have been my favorites, with strawberry milkshake being ok on occasion

>>12120725
Just add icing and jam to a piece of cardboard, same thing

>>12120725
they're garbage
imagine the cheepest graham cracker with dried up cheap grocery store cake frosting and food dye. Also a pasty sort of filling thats kinda like fruit by the foot

aw hell you probably don't have any of those other food items for comparison, just know that you're not missing out on anything worth while

>>12120843
W-We do have Graham crackers

>>12120843

OP, if you have the ingredients listed in this long-ass recipe/blog you can try to make some homemade poptarts, they look pretty alright.

they aren't anything special, stop falling for their gay ass commercials.
>cannot get full off of them
>shitty filling
>too expensive for the amount of them in the box
>horrible breakfast supplement
when given the option (which is all the time) i choose eating nothing over eating poptarts.

>>12120847
god, that kitten, I just want to hold and protect it

>>12120725
Taste like cardboard you're not missing out

>>12120725
Garbage

There's worse boomerfoods out there but nothing to lose sleep over. I remember them being occasionally enjoyable but often disappointing .

>>12120725
cheap processed pastry sugar bomb
I used to like them and eat them all the time but now I try to avoid sugar after getting very sick and realizing that sugar was a big trigger for it. Wish I could have a poptart.

oh also the flavors can be misleading, I think that's why some people say they are good vs garbage because they expect something else from whatever flavor they tried.

>>12120725
>how are they?
nasty

>>12120725
They're ok. If I had one I'd maybe eat it. Wouldn't go out of my way to get one though

I can't really imagine a non-American adult enjoying them. I don't think anybody else can tolerate as much sugar as we can.

>>12120753
depends on how much of a sweet tooth you have. they're pastries with sugar inside with a sugar coating, coming in various flavours. if you have strawberry fig newtons they're somewhat similar in a way.

If you cannot get pop tarts where you live best bet is contact the Pop Tart Association of America and tell em to make it right with your grocers.

>>12120725
Your'e not missing anything.

>>12120725
If you mean toasty pastries in general, they are delicious, be they soft and fresh or flat and room temperature straight from the box.

If you mean Pop-Tarts specifically, it's best to avoid anything by Killhogs.

>>12120753
They're alright. Used to be better when was a kid. Whether or not that's because kids like sweet stuff more or they were genuinely made better I couldn't say.

>>12120861
I'll give it a try.

>>12125696
Hope they turn out okay, anon. Good luck!

>>12125709
>Start by rolling out two premade
stopped reading, the recipe is dead easy though and I'll probably just make it with puff pastry and say fuck it.

>>12120861
>Meh. Not worth the calories

Wtf

>>12120725
The only ones I can stomach are the blueberry or strawberry ones. The other varieties are too sugary or too rich. Even then pop tarts still give me a stomachache and I feel shitty for hours afterwards.

Recipe blogs are always trash, but it was the first thing that popped up when I searched "homemade poptarts" for OP.

Poptarts are just a meme product that is marketed to children. It looks like it should taste good, when in fact it very much does not. They exist on the power of marketing.

Do you get Little Debbie's or something similar. Those are far, far better than pop tarts and the same price. I've never seen a Little Debbie's commercial, since they actually taste good and don't need to brainwash children in order to sell their product.

Nutty Bars are my shit, OP should give them a try if he hasn't already.
