There are things that are sort of a pastry that you heat in a toaster, but they are not the same. trust me...they are NOT the same.

heartlikealion Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 When the kids wanted cherry pop tarts the smallest box I could find was 16. That was less than $5, though. I couldn’t justify spending $40 to order them on Amazon (72 pop tarts total). Yikes. That flavor does look good, though. What’s up with cherry only coming in big boxes or variety packs? It’s like the purple Sharpie highlighter all over again. Must buy extra to get it (you’ll get like 5 highlighters in traditional colors to get one purple).

heartlikealion Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'm not a huge pop tart person and I always thought they needed to be toasted which is why I never understood the commercials for their competitor where they mock pop tarts and the kids are stuffing them in lockers and they are falling out. I'm like who went to school with a room temp pop tart, anyway? Now I have kids that don't want them toasted lol. The seasonal pumpkin ones are one of the only ones I really like.

I've probably only ever had a couple in my life, but I absolutely can’t fathom the appeal, toasted, microwaved, or cold... 🤪 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walmart only had a size 16 box at one nearby WM and none at the other but the huge variety pack (and I didn't think the kids wanted blueberry). What store do you find a small box of cherry?

Once in a while, I find a bathroom that has an automated dispenser with really nice paper towel sizes AND has the towel dispense as soon as the previous one is torn off rather than dispense when the person walks up; it stops me in my tracks in wonder, lol!
