>MOM I POSTED ANOTHER GREAT DEBATE THREAD xD

Can you eat toaster strudels hot or cold out of the package and without getting your hands sticky handling a fuck you packet of icing like you're 5yo and sitting at home and not eating your toaster strudel out of a vending machine during your 15 minute break at your blow your brains out warehouse job?
Fuck you.

>>17780728
They're both shit but if I had to choose, strudel > cancer tarts

>>17780728
they're not similar enough to compare. It's like asking if you prefer ketchup or cereal

toaster strudels are fucking useless, cant eat them cold, and hot theyre fucking gross, not enough icing, shit flavors, flaky crumbs everywhere, theres a reason strudels are dead and pop tarts are still going

>>17780789
took the words out of my mind

>>17780728
Pop tarts win this easily. Toaster strudels are probably tastier but they are a pain in the ass to make and not even close to as convenient.

>>17780728
I like these little motherfuckers right here.

Poptarts.
Toaster strudel needs to be toasted, and I prefer poptarts cuz I want something I can eat right out the package.

>>17780789
>strudels are dead
That's not true

>All of these degenerates eating cold pop tarts

I'd normally say toaster strudel but my boy frosted grape is rising from the grave soon and that was always my favorite pop tart.

both are actually shit

>>17780827
There's nothing on earth better than this shit. Thinking of buying a toaster so I can eat these things again

>>17780728
S'mores and Chocolate Vanilla Creme are the best Pop Tarts, no others compare. Getting one right out of the toaster when it's piping hot and eating it while the filling is almost as hot as my morning coffee hits just right.

>>17780827
These things are the only reason Toaster Strudel has a chance of competing with Pop Tarts.

Pop tarts are shelf stable and more practical. Unhealthy as they may be, you can tuck them away as emergency rations.

>>17780946
>heating up cookies and creme
>ever

I like strudels better. Poptarts are really nice a bit over-toasted though.

>>17780827
Yes yes yes
These things fuck

>>17781333
I think you mean brown sugar

>>17781415
The point is that there are flavors you don't heat up. Have you tried the boston cream flavor yet. Also stop being autistic I got what you meant.

>>17781419
I haven't eaten a pop tart in over 10 years, I just used to get the brown sugar one out of the vending machine outside the campus cafeteria because they were the only ones that tasted good right out of the bag.

now that I'm older though I can't believe that I used to eat trash like that. I also can't believe parents actually will buy that stuff for their children to eat.

>>17781333
>Eating anything but strawberry

>>17780728
I like them both, but Toaster Strudels are clearly streets ahead.

>>17780728

Toaster strudel, there is no debate.

Fucking worthless retard, return yourself to the dumpster you crawled out of after your mother failed to abort you
Toaster strudels and poptarts are completely different eating experiences and comparing them is literally like comparing apples and oranges
The strudels are specifically made with a greater ratio of filling to pastry with a pastry reminiscent of buttered biscuits, wehre the icing provides not inherent sweetness, but a further layer of richness to balance the acidic interior and buttery pastry.
The poptart is entirely different, with a greater pastry to filling ratio, where the icing specifically adds both texture and sweetness to an intentionally simple pastry that is closer in form to a cookie than biscuit.
I genuinely hope you jump off a bridge as close to the ocean as possible as that your worthless life might finally contribute to the feeding of marine life and the eventual development of a micro-system inside your worthless ribcage you abhorrent fucker

>eating sugary plastic
ngmi

>>17780728
Right by far is best if you have a toaster, otherwise the tarts win by default. This shouldn't need a thread

>>17780728
Can't be compared. One is a 'ready to eat' panty item and the other is a frozen food that must be cooked prior to serving.

>>17780827
The one American breakfast pastry that actually has a chance of making you feel reasonably full.

>>17782720
>panty item
kek

>>17780728
literally just listened to the sleepycast where they freaked out over poptarts for the nostalgia

time flies

>>17780743
Kek

Am I getting some weird foreign version of pop tarts in the UK, or are they just gross everywhere?

I bought a box and they were dry, incredibly sweet and not very good. I also was amazed to find that 2 are like 400 calories somehow. Toasted was better, but still not great

I had the strawberry ones in pic related, and I also later on tried the S'mores one since someone said that was the best. The smores one was better but they were still super dry, and I couldn't finish either without getting a drink

Are they better in the US? The ones I had were well in the sell by date at least, which was my first thought as to why they were so dry

>>17780734
>t.

>>17782932
sounds about right

>>17782932
No, they are just a rather dry pastry. Most people eat them with a glass of milk or something.

>>17782932
They are less dry toasted because the filling becomes moister. But I guess they're still a little dry either way.

>>17780728
Toaster strudels are good when you put them in the toaster for half the amount of time you would do normally. Warm outside, cold inside. Very tasty. Then again I'm not a fat fuck so I don't find myself buying toaster strudels or pop tarts.

>>17783006
Fair enough

>>17783027
I'm guessing they're like that for shelf life, if they were more cake like they'd go mouldy much quicker. I should try the milk thing though, do people dip them in milk like cookies?

>>17783032
I did notice that. Are there any good flavours I should try before abandoning the idea? Someone mentioned brown sugar up the thread, I've seen that one at the "American" section at my local supermarket

>>17783048
Chocolate fudge is my favorite. If you can get your hands on raspberry then go for it, but it's a new flavor and they might not have it anymore or have it in your area. Brown sugar is pretty good too.

>>17780728
For me it's Štrudle

>>17783132
thats a fig newton

Pop tarts are only good when you 1) buy the unfrosted kind (strawberry, mostly), 2) toast it, and most importantly, 3) butter that boy up

>>17783251
>Buttered unfrosted poptarts
This anon knows their shit.

>comparing them is literally like comparing apples and oranges
So? I prefer apples to oranges. The only time I prefer orange is if someone else peels it.

The only time I prefer toaster strudel to bop tard is if someone else prepares it.

>>17780743
I'm sorry anon.

>>17783170
This then
