According to some Internet research your Chocolate Priestess did, it looks like the most common date cited for the introduction of the Pop-tart was on this date in 1964. That explains why I grew up seeing them since they are older than I.
Pop-tarts are a treat that we buy only a few times a year. We wait until there is a sale and we have a coupon, we try various flavors. So today I want to share some of those we've tried over the past year.
We'll start with the Frosted Chocolate Chip variety. The way these are packaged is insane -- 2 tarts per one foil bag and yet only 1 tart is a serving. How many of you honestly eat just one at a time? If you do you are getting 210 calories in this flavor with 2g saturated fat, 240mg sodium, <1g fiber, 18g sugars, 3g protein with between 2 and 10% of eight vitamins and minerals. If you eat two of them, double those numbers. Most people I know eat two since they are packaged that way.
This isn't so much frosted as it is drizzled with some chocolate as you can see in this photo. I find I like them better if I toast them on one setting higher than the box recommends and I have heavy plastic tongs I can easily remove them with so I don't burn myself. Don't worry, the drizzle didn't melt on the machine. You can see the chips melted a bit and that's fine, I think they taste better warm. These have cocoa butter, chocolate and cocoa in them and I actually was pleasantly surprised by how chocolaty they tasted. They also have wheat, eggs, soy and milk if those are concerns for any of you reading.
We also wanted to review a second fairly new flavor, at least as far as I can tell, but then we do not buy Poptarts more than once or twice a year and it just didn't happen for this post.
So what do you all think of Poptarts, Sisters and Brothers?

I'll just keep making chocolate chip cookie bars at home.
The idea of the Poptart is pretty strong since I see organic versions of it now and not just cheaper knockoffs.
