Weird, because I've eaten an uncountable amount of poptarts in my lifetime, and they have not hurt me yet. I'm not a fat arse either.

You have no idea what cellular or other damage might have been wrought on your body from such. It's the reason a lot of this stuff is extra dangerous - because it kills you a drop at a time. Even cigarettes' impacts can be hidden for years - until it's too late.

The chocolate fudge ones are 100% man-made, I believe.

First of all, this.

Secondly, Smores are the best.

and C, if you're ever in our nations capital, you should head over to Ted's Bulletin and get some homemade fresh pop tarts. They are fricking awesome. LINK

I seem to remember them always being frosted.





I never ate the frosted ones as a kid. I only liked the plain strawberry, apple or blueberry ones.

And you do? GTFO bruh.

What about the half of bag of cheetos I ate yesterday? Is that causing cellular damage to my body also?! Or the smoked sausage I cooked this weekend? Im sure there are a ton of carcinogens in the sausage from the smoke used in the smoking process, right? Kiss my arse with that bullshite.

Yes, I know that highly processed garbage does damage to your body. So do you.

What about them? If you are eating them, then yes.

Maybe. I love smoked sausage and know that it's infinitely better for you than garbage.

It's very weird that you are triggered by the claim that putting garbage into your body is bad for it.

I have eaten many a brown sugar poptarts in my day. Now, I can’t believe I used to eat so many. Basically negative nutritional value, my parents used to let me eat that for breakfast before school… just a straight up sugar cookie. My nonexistent kids will eat eggs and bacon for breakfast. Real fat for the brain.

For a treat I’ll lightly toast them and put vanilla ice cream on top - it’s a once a month or so treats

I've driven by the Pop Tart factory in Rossville, TN many times. The smell is incredible.

Pop tarts were my go to on backpacking trips. empty calories you’d just hike off anyways but enough to keep you on your feet until the next meal time.

As kids we usually ate the budget ones, called breakfast toasters, I think. On occasion we were treated to the real ones. Like all cereals today, pop tarts don't taste the same as when we were kids. The taste of the original real pop tarts were far superior. However, I always look for the unicorn of pop tarts, frosted grape every time I go to the store.

Percentage of pop tarts in your life you've actually toasted?

I'd say 10% here

I doubt I've had one in 15 years

My kids aren’t allowed “snacks”

They are only allowed to eat something if they killed it, growed it, or catched it

My kids bully yalls fat kids eating pop tarts and Michelle Obama lunches
