Bought them as a weekend treat for the kids as I was never allowed them. Both kids rejected them straight away and I can see why, I feel like all childhood tv was a lie!

  2. I tried one once, years ago and wondered if the box might taste better.

  3. I still can’t get my head around how they charge four quid for a box either

  4. I remember this moment as a child. We never had them at home. Then I went to a sleepover and they were offered at breakfast. I was genuinely excited, until I realised they tasted like a hitchhiker’s sign.

  5. I liked them as a kid. Let’s face it, they’re pure sugar

    They’d burn the roof of your mouth off though

  6. They are vile. I got a box of them sent to me by a friend in the States and holy shitballs but they were *vile*. The worst thing about them? Is that the flavouring is so fucking aggressive – to paraphrase Billy Connolly, it’s not just strawberry, it’s STRAWBERRY. It’s a strawberry that does not exist in nature.

  7. I remember the advert: “Kellogg’s Pop Tarts, so hot they’re cool!”
    I was underwhelmed when I tried them.

  9. Have a stab at making your own toaster strudels. Guarantee they’ll be better

  10. Couple of years ago I got drawn by a Yank in secret Santa. He sent me a wide selection of American sweets, I can’t think of a single one that I’d want to eat again. Pop tarts and twinkies were top of the rankness ranking. 

  12. Given they’re still on sale after all these years, a lot of people must like them. I used to like them as a child but they are just horrible now, so much sugar.
