Pop Tarts are a dessert. They need to be presented as a dessert snack, not a breakfast item, especially for children. Pop Tarts are put next to cereal and granola bars.
Who on earth would eat that every morning? It’s a treat and should be treated as such. It’s not companies responsibility to make consumers make smart choices
@@Gabe-z8oNo its not, but they are responsible for their advertising, which is at least part of the problem. You could say the same about most breakfast cereals.
As a child who didn’t know any better I loved pop tarts and toaster strudels, now as an adult I am fully aware how poisonous both of these foods are and I try my best not to eat them.
I used to eat pop tarts as a kid, but I only had the bland ones at first sometimes. my mom was careful what she bought for me, like no white bread, only whole wheat bread. But it was tough making money as a single parent and I had eating issues. Dad was a health foodie looong before it became mainstream, and it could be...tough lol. By the mid 1990s I saw the frosted ones, not remembering if I ever had em at a friends hosue or wherever, but I do recall eating them and loving the strawberry frosted pop tarts by 1995/ 1996. Sometimes I eat em, but these days as I am getting on in years, I gotta watch me health lol. :P At this point, I can just bake cinnamon rolls and put icing on em...but sometimes im o still buy some pop tarts ngl :P

It's a very dry sugar mixture, sugar has a high melting point, and it's also not in the toaster for very long. It's like trying to melt granulated sugar, if you heat it for long enough it will probably burn before it melts.
Why the hell can't we make them with whole grains, fruit pulp with fiber, and stevia instead of sugar as an additive? I can't wait for consumers to evolve intellectually and demand more food in our "food".
I keep pop tarts in my car to pass out to homeless people. They don’t melt in the summer or freeze in the winter. Don’t need refrigeration. Are inexpensive. Individually wrapped so they don’t worry that the food is dirty or tampered with. Hardly take up any space. And the fact they are high in carbs is what they need. And are a great comfort and nostalgic food. Their faces light up when I give it to them. I mean who doesn’t like a pop tart. ❤
@@Vorticough sugar is sugar, doesn't matter how you get it. What matters is how freely available it is to the body, which is why sugar in unprocessed fruits (which are full of fiber) is nowhere near as bad as sugar in soda, because it's absorbed slowly. But, if you put those fruits in a blender to make a smoothie, then all the sugar is released and made immediately available, and then it's no different from soda. So it's not really a question of "natural".
YEA my boss had a PopTart box in his desk drawer and he gave me one like something very precious. I took one bite and wanted to puke on his desk. I never touched another PopTart again in my life.
My mom bought some when I asked, after seeing ads where kids seemed to greatly appreciate those, and my reaction was like what you describe, unappealing synthetic substance. It means my mom did a good job in conditioning me to eat normal food.
They go for the kids because they are innocent so it's up to us parents to protect them. The government won't because they are in cahoots with the rich and the corporations. Parents beware and protect your kids! Teach them about healthy living by example.
the way that i watch every single video like this that y’all post… even though deep down i don’t think i really care about the history and future of pop tarts. but i just feel the need to know now that you’re offering to tell me. these videos are quite genius i fear
I ate them for years. Then I learned about high fructose corn syrup. Also, the last time I ate a blueberry pop tart it seemed to have lost its tangy flavor and became flat. I no longer eat them because of the sugar content. I'm older now and know better.
@@saulgoodman2018 Self control😂😂😂😂 hahahaha bro do you know the American obesity rate? Why is this product a $1 billion dollar product if Americans have so much self control? You're joking
I grew up pop-tarts and loved them even to this day. But despite the nostalgia I have for the treats I still know they are nutritionally terrible for me now and even back then.
I prefer to think of what a standup comedian (I think Billy Crystal) once said: "God gives us the most perfect thing to eat for breakfast - strawberries - but we turn them into Pop Tarts!"
Until like 2 weeks ago I have never heard of Pop Tarts. There were some guys on my campus who gave away some goodie bags and Pop Tart was in every one of them. Here in Germany you can buy a lot of food with refined sugar etc. but to be honest I can't remember that I have ever eaten something that disgustingly sweet.
This is very sad, because this, "food" is GARBAGE. When I see someone in Walmart, cart loaded with Pop_tarts, Hot-Pockets, Captain Crunch and they have three kids with them I want to HURL. They are shortening the lives of their children, and causing them MANY difficulties later in life.
I think a lot of the reason people like poptarts is nostalgia. I never ate them as a kid and to me they taste awful. They're mealy, overly sweet, and the red stuff inside has this weird chemical flavor. If poptarts never existed and were released as a new product today, they'd be a dud.
Wanna get rich, get a lobbyist. Pop-Tarts, The food pyramid, our speed limits, you getting charged with a Dui, the filtration for our water, city layouts, all ideas are proposed by people like you and I and they push their ideas through Lobbyists which become standards.
The only time I eat these things is on backpacking trips (the triple crown - Pacific Crest Trail, Appalachian Trail & Continental Divide Trail), otherwise, I steer clear of over processed foods such as these and eat fresh fruits and vegetables and whole grains instead. Is it any wonder childhood diabetes and obesity are a problem in this country?
I bought a box for the first time in over a decade. These things are so thin! Not at all how I remember them. However, I actually love the thinner poptart. The only thing i dont like is the price.
Funny, as a 50 years old guy i never bought those...i have eaten them but never bought it...but i still remember the sugary taste...maybe a healthier version would be tempting? The basic idea is great, just make it less a candy...
I hope someone from Pop Tarts is reading this. BRING ALL THE FLAVORS TO PUERTO RICO. We're having to buy in bulk in the states when we visit family. People are out here reselling them.
I kinda like pop tarts I just wish there were different though. Shouldnt be a breakfast food. Shouldn't be aimed so heavily for kids like it is. Also adults. I also always wondered if a bakery could make something better. But trying to do the same type of thing
Such a waste of calories. The protein shake that I'm drinking for breakfast right now is right around 360 calories, and it has 50g of protein along with other micro vitamins. A pack of pop tarts(400-450 calories) you'd be lucky to have 7g of protein. A pop tart is literally just fried fat coated in sugar. How is that a breakfast?
That 20% reduction of 5% of the population equaling a 1% reduction is bad math because it assumes an even distribution which we definitely don't have when we're discussing obesity.
My mom bought these for us growing up. I always hated them (too dry) but ate them anyway. Proud to say I have never bought these for my own kids. Pop tarts are garbage food with no nutritional value. If I remember correctly a serving was 1 and the packages always came with 2. Who was eating just 1? No one I knew. I’m surprised these are still around. Thought we had become more health conscious as a society.
I feel like it wouldnt take much for these to die off in the US. i remember them always being in the cabinet when i was a kid. not sure if it was because my parents ate them as a kids in the 60s. However, now as an adult, i dont buy them and i certainly havent ever since having a child of my own. One generation could really put a hurt on them. probably why they are pushing these on other regions and demographics, because they know that.
