What are you eating?

I'm eating Pop Tarts for the first time in my life after hearing Americans jerk off over them for years. I found an American themed store in Norway, and i had to try it.

Holy fuck, never before have i tried anything that fits this much in the "MEH" category. The taste is so boring, and i'm 100% convinced that the person who decided to call it "strawberry flavored" has never had a strawberry in his entire life.

Is the "strawberry flavored" the best pop tart, or is there a better one? I saw a chockolate one, but it just seemed tacky

S'mores ones are ok
Blueberry is better than strawberry imo at least
Pop Tarts in general are pretty shit, your better off with a toaster strudle if your looking for something even resembling a decent quick dessert.

>> No.7926069

I've always found them to be largely meh myself, but I tried the brown sugar cinnamon ones due to >>7919925 that thread. They're acutally surprisingly good. You get exactly what's on the tin.
Smores are also okay, rather than using a bland, generic dough, it's a graham cracker outside.

This guy hit the nail on the head. Personally, I fucking hate pop-tarts. The only one I find to be mildly edible are the chocolate chip ones since they don't have the terrible 'icing' on top. Pic related.

That being said, as a kid I inhaled every kind of pop-tart like they were going out of style. Fuck I wish I wouldn't have now, those little fuckers have no real ingredients in them.

Pop tarts improve significantly with the application of heat. Throw it in a toaster or microwave for a few seconds. Make sure to let it cool because the filling will be approximately 500 degrees no matter how long you put it in for.

The fruit flavour ones are pretty meh to shit. Try some of the flavours like s'mores and ice cream sundae (my favourite). You really gotta try different kinds to see what kinds you like but that's probably too expensive in Norway for imported American food. Try toaster strudel. It's okay compared to pop tarts kind of shit.

Yeah it was pretty good. It was almost like an Asian stir fry, it was chicken with peppers and rice and I ordered two shrimps as well.

I'm not sure if it's purely Salvadoran food or like a melange of Central American stuff that they sell there.

I'm new to fancy fish dishes, do you dig out the things you stuff it with? Because that greenery looks excessive. but it sounds delicious
