"Two there should be; no more, no less. One to embody power, the other to crave it."
Five is right out.
The Sith rule of two. XD
This is the crossover End Game wanted to be
"I love that comment!"
What’s this quote from?
I remember being excited when the standard sized box went from 6-count to 8-count.
Yeah but I liked getting either
Yay consumerism
I worked filling vending machines in the late 1980's and 1990's and Pop-Tarts were firmly entrenched in the vending world. One vending company I worked for even had a agreement with Kellogg's that guaranteed every snack machine the company operated would have at least one slot permanently dedicated to Pop-Tarts. For machines that I filled at schools and colleges, it was common to offer multiple flavors of Pop-Tarts because they sold so well.
Vending Machine Pop-Tarts were designed to be eaten WITHOUT being heated. And they were made with a different formula/recipe that did make them taste good right out of the package. They were great. Since then, I have never purchased Pop-Tarts in stores because they are NOT as good as the vending ones used to be.
Pop-tarts looked more like real food when they first came out and looked like they had twice as much filling. I've always enjoyed the basic cinnamon, blueberry and strawberry ones the most but loved the PB&J ones when they were around.
Oh yeah, they've definitely decreased the filling amount.
You're not wrong there.They definitely decrease the amount of filling that you get.They also do not pick up milk very well anymore
I used to always determine in milk before school.I would dip in for about.Maybe 20 seconds, so be nice and swaggy.But the icing would still be crispy now.I have leave in up to a minute
Pop-Tarts Ultimate original recipe
I thought it was just me being young! So they were filled more!
They were never real food
When I was in high school, I graduated in 1975, I had a frosted cherry pop tart every morning for breakfast. And my sister has half of one when her blood sugar goes down.
Toaster strudels are pretty good tooo
I bought some about 2 months ago after going without for probably 3 years or more. They had very little filling and were smaller than before. I ended up throwing them away, the taste was nasty!
@@terriwetz6077Ok.
Toaster Scrambles as well. The only thing my dad ever eats for breakfast!
They are superior to Pop Tarts.
@@misterhat5823 thems fighting words boy
Because most toasters have two slots. Video over 😬
And because people are fat
I haven't seen the entire video yet, but that was my thoughts too.
@@SunnyLovetts Maybe you are...
@@misterhat5823 it was a joke mr Garrison
Or do you want to watch boring ai generated script with stock footage for almost 15 minutes
I am an adult who still loves Pop Tarts. I introduced my daughters to Pop Tarts growing up and they were hooked. Unfortunately as they grew older sometimes they will occasionally get heartburn eating Pop Tarts but they still have fond memories of their favorite childhood snack. Their favorite still is strawberry frosted. I still have my daughters Pop Tarts holders. One looks like wildberry and the other looks like strawberry frosted. My favorite flavors are strawberry plain, wildberry and raspberry frosted or raspberry plain. We live in New York and we did go to the Pop Tarts store twice and were sad when it closed.
Thank you for sharing your life story and family medical history
Unfrosted brown sugar is the best. Sucks that they’re so hard to find
I only ever get cookies and cream, and I stick them in the freezer and enjoy them as a frozen desert treat
I love Pop Tarts but literally never used a toaster. I eat them straight from the package.
In these times that's more of a good way and fits in the situations since people now are mostly in a hurry.
Me too! But warm them in the microwave for 8 sec. Amazing!
They’re so much better toasted. Like at least 70 percent better lol
Me too.
I had a toaster that didn't pop. "Slowly-Rise-Tarts" - Sunbeam Radiant Control toaster.
Lolz Huggbees has truly succeeded in tricking the world into thinking his "How it's Actually Made" videos aren't off-the-wall re-dubs of "How it's Made" videos and now footage is being attributed to him instead of the original sources. :D
Pop tart world sounds awesome
Why did I just watch a whole video on the comprehensive history of Pop-Tarts
The chocolate fudge ones!!!!! Like a warm brownie!!!!❤
Oh gawd, those are so good. My 3 favorite Pop Tart flavors are, 1. Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon, 2. Frosted Blueberry, 3. Chocolate Fudge.
Dammit. Now I want Pop Tarts and I don't have any. 😭
Yes
@@Linda7647 I would bring u some pop tarts
@@robbiemiller5800 Aww, thank you 😊
@@Linda7647 ur welcome!
S'mores is the best. I could eat them hot or cold every day.
Kelloggs needs to make a special boxed ‘chocolate’ edition that has chocolate chip, s’mores, mocha and chocolate fudge!
great with coffee
Toasted, room temp or refrigerated. S'mores is the absolute best.
Kelloggs sold limited ed cheese cake. Why I don't know did Kelloggs keep it on the shelf always.
@@chrismayer3919 a chocolate mint or mint ice cream would be ✅️ ....
A few years ago a woman sued Kellog because she claimed that were not as many strawberries in the Poptarts as advertised on the box, thankfully the Judge was smart and through it out and charged her for wasting the Court's time.
from growing up in the 90s, i remember getting excited about pop tarts starting with one flavor then coming out with new ones ever since. in fact i still get excited when they come out with new fun flavors to try out to this day.
This is me a 100%.Because I will literally even if I don't plan on buying any.I will go down and look at what flavors they have.And they have one that looks really good.I will get one
You-KNOWWW...They have a Pumpkin Spice Pop-Tarts on Amazon AND Boston Cream! 🤔😱🥰🤗💖
I just got Apple Jacks flavor Pop Tarts 😋
Becuz there are 2 slots in a toaster.
There were originally three flavours, strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon. Brown sugar cinnamon was my favourite!
Some US military MREs have a single pop tart included with the meal. If memory serves right. It’s a surprise what you get. The packaging just says something like “pastry, shelf stable” or whatever. Surprisingly the few I’ve had have been fully intact and not fallen apart in a million pieces.
Yup. It’s good old’ “shelf stable pastry”. From what I remember the only flavors I’ve ever gotten or seen are strawberry. and they’re not half bad, esp compared to some of the candies in certain menus 😅
I was a full-grown adult before I realized they were even supposed to be toasted!
I was a full grown man before I realized this man doesn’t watch commercials 😅
Have you not seen the cartoon commercials back then? Also they taste better toasted than raw!
Did you not see any of their ads? Or think about what the name meant? I’m pretty sure they had a toaster on the packaging for a long time lol
This has to be fake comment or sheer stupidity
I remember those dark pre-icing days!
Toaster strudel was way better and still is better than pop tarts
Don't toaster strudels need to be refrigerated. Or frozen. Regardless they are awesome
@@Jonathan-ye1nm they do but they’re still better
@@eerieeric834Then eat those. 🤦🏼
@@Southernguy41 I will
@@Southernguy41 he’s not wrong. They are better.
Growing up in the 1960s, I RECALL MY FAVORITE FLAVOR WAS GRAPE. Can't remember which company made them.....but the filling was purple. Don't remember if they were frosted or not either.
Just looked it up-- there was indeed a grape flavor pop tart in the '60's. Some even came with Batman comics 😁🍇
@@romukaro_del_flores Grape pop tarts exist now but they are distributed very selectively and hard to find.
Unfrosted grape was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I still miss it.
I also loved the brown sugar cinnamon and chocolate fudge flavors.
Does anyone else remember the "try putting your pop-tarts in the freezer" gimmick? I saw it as a serving suggestion on the boxes a few times, but I don't know if it caught on anywhere.
As a kid in the 90s, raspberry was such a treat. It only comes in the smallest box, and back then, our usual grocery stores would only sometimes have it, for a higher price than other flavors. Brown sugar and cinnamon also came in paper packets, which makes me wonder if it really did taste better back then.
Seeing Huggbees listed as the video credit for some How It's Made footage in this video gave me whiplash
I remember the crazy good commercials! They were awesome!
It’s a fascinating story about stuff we shouldn’t ever put into our bodies.
Everybody dies. Only a select few are insufferable before they go.
Anything with the word Kellogg on it is a good start.
Yeah, my mom would never let me have them. They really are kind of gross. I'm glad I never really got into them.
Sometimes I eat both Tarts, but sometimes I only want one. I remember when Pop Tarts came in the heavy foil packaging that you could fold down tight if you didn't eat both of them. But now they come in those flimsy silver packets that you can't fold up; they won't stay closed. So if I only want one Tart, I end up having to put the other one in a zipper bag to keep it fresh.
Pop Tarts (frosted) caught on fire in my toaster oven at the recommended setting.
Dave Barry did an experiment with a toaster outside, held the lever down with a long pole, flames shot out of the toaster.
Gotta clean crumbs out of the bottom tray every now and then in toasters. That's full user error
@@infinidominion It was the frosting that fueled the fire.
7:52 A box of Gingerbread Pop-Tarts that can create your own Gingerbread House, WOW!
What a brilliant idea!
😂😂😂😂😂
@@Dave-bj3pq You're too slow and pointless to really understand the true value of anything.
I had no idea the peanut butter variety was discontinued. It was so good
Out of the flavors I tried my favorites are Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Chocolate Chip, Crisp Apple and Red Velvet Cupcake
Have you ever put butter on a pop tart? It’s so freaking good.
Why did this video have to come out during Passover lol now I have to wait to eat some pop tarts
This makes me want a Pop-Tart real bad.
To quote Seinfeld:
"One's not enough, three is too many that's why."
Love pop tarts! And glowing wrappers are stunning!
Love the food, hate the ad (it was WAY creepy)
I still microwave my pop tarts to this day, don't hate! I like a softer Pop Tart than a toasted one.
I miss the discontinued flavors already. Chocolate chip cookie dough, cinnamon roll, apple strudel, and the peanut butter ones.
Never had one before, I’m probably missing out 😂
Should definitely try em
Ah yes, the good old desert for breakfast American tradition. One of the best traditions in the world if you ask me. Just to tell it to my doctor.
One before school and one after. 😊
I'm kind of shocked the pizza version didn't take off. They should try it again.
The only kind I believe I got to try Pop Tarts as a kid was brown sugar and cinnamon. When I got out on my own I tried so many kinds. They were so sweet!! Milton the Toaster, what a memory.
Back when I was a high school student I would always have pop-tarts for breakfast since it was fast and simple to eat, I also had to take the bus to school, so having something quick helped me during my high school days.
Easily the best flavor ever created was Chocolate Vanilla Cream. I still am disappointed they no longer exist. Here’s to hoping they bring them back someday.
I just love how Kellogg has always said "these aren't a replacement for breakfast" when concerns are risen, but they have always advertised their "nutritional value." Pathetic - playing both sides, to no surprise. 😠
Bill Post was from Keebler...and he kinda looks like one of the Keebler elves. Ernie, in particular.
So...was he used as the look for our favorite cookie maker?
Hot Fudge Sundae, Cookies N Creme, and Blueberry are my favorite Pop Tart flavors. And the mascots are cute and hilarious! I would love to see Weird History Food do videos on mascots. Especially if they talked about mascots voiced by famous voice actors! Examples: Paul Winchell, OG voice of Tigger from Winnie The Pooh [and inventor of the artifical heart] voiced the 1970s Jack In The Box characters, Burger Chef, Tusk the Elephant for Cocoa Krispies and Crackle for Rice Krispies. Mae Questel, voice of Betty Boop and Olive Oyl from Popeye, also did Buffalo Bee for Nabisco Rice Honeys. Richard Beals, voice of Speedy Alka-Seltzer did the voice of The Frito Kid and well as Little Oscar in animated Oscar Mayer ads [one is on Historic Films]. Mel Blanc did Toucan Sam, and likely a lot more given his already huge voice portfolio.
Poptarts on the messdecks got me through a deployment
I think over here in the U.K. we had them for a brief while in the 90s? Can’t tell how long they lasted here…?
Personally we weren’t allowed any as kids but I did try one as an adult. Tasted like hot diabetes.
You can occasionally find strawberry and chocolate ones here, but much like american marshmallow breakfast cereals they were too unhealthy.
Unrelated, but seeing a crowranaburger clip in this video was awesome.
I love the wild berry pop tart. Totally forgot about the wild flavors lineup they had too
I always microwave my pop-tarts; I find that toasting them makes them all dry and crunchy, whereas microwaving them gets them just a little soft and warmed all throughout.
So are we gonna talk about how Mr. Post looks just like Ernie Keebler?
I'm usually not a fan of pop tarts but the smores are still good
i appreciate how they finally acknowledged the one side of the poptart thats always got more frosting in the new commercials
The easy breakfast i always ate on the way to school all through the 90's
breakfast? are you trying to get diabetes with that sugar garbage?
@@augustuscaeser8939 lol oh cry a river
@@DR-sv8ke hey it's your fat body when you're chugging sugar and poisoned food down, not me
Enjoy your diabetes and be sure to not stick the insulin needle in the same place every time because that'll have it's own issues too
@@augustuscaeser8939 i agree. it's top tier level garbage with average flavor and a good price.
as for diabetes, im sure you're joking but this is the internet so...
takes more than a crappy breakfast with 30% sucrose to get insulin resistance.
you'd also get diabetes from eating fruit, beans, grains, etc if it was so easy.
We never had a toaster so I exclusively microwaved my poptarts as a kid. Just me?
Has anyone besides me ever use pop tarts instead of bread to make a peanut butter sandwich
Nope. But sounds hella good!
I have, and it's great
No, but could work if you didn't have any bread and jelly.
I was today years old
That must’ve been very sweet
Disappointed you didn't mention the Froot Loops flavored Pop Tarts they had around 2020-2021ish, they were surprisingly flavor accurate!
Okay, wow, the Afghanistan bit smacks you hard out of nowhere
Making our emergency food delivery bags the same color as the bag of cluster bombs is quintessentially American
I love the brown sugar poptars
Didn't know they were supposed to be toasted until I saw Bruce Willis do it in Pulp Fiction when I was about 14. 😅
Toasted Pop Tart with butter - it doesn't get any better
Frosted Blueberry!! My heart
poptarts pair perfectly with Teeccino!
I still get the mini pop tarts at our gas station here. They’re not gone
Amazingly WEIRD History ❤
Cherry is my favorite
God now I’m craving pop tarts, chocolate fudge is my favorite
The Pop Tarts minis are still around. I literally ate some yesterday.
My favorite is brown sugar cinnamon and hot fudge sundae
Yes!!
Pop Tarts: Accept no substitutes
I miss the vanilla poptart
Although I haven't eaten Pop Tarts in about 50 years now, I still know that the brown sugar cinnamon were the best tasting ones.😋👌
Toasted brown sugar cinnamon with unsweetened black coffee, FTW!
I am 68 years old. I used to like them (especially the Concord grape). Then, they shoved a bunch of nasty icing on them and cut the filling in half. NO THANKS ...
You know, i still buy the unfrosted ones.
From the sound of things, this video is easily more informative and funny than Seinfeld's attempted "comedy movie" on Netflix.
I'm one of those kids that set their kitchen on fire with a pop tart and a toaster.I never bought pop tarts as an adult, because it scarred me for life, he'll I don't even use the toaster lol.
2 pop tarts is not enough. Change my mind
Don't forget the single pop tart packs sold in vending machines.
Would love it if they made a gluten free one. I miss these so much!
Mmmmm, sugar, sugar and more sugar! I love Pop Tarts, but I don’t toast mine. Favourite flavour has to be Strawberry.
I miss pop tarts crunch cereal.
I recently got a smoker, and began acting like a TH-camr "will it smoke" style, and I tell you now, s'mores pop tarts heated up in a 200 degree apple wood smoker is incredible. Highly recommend
They must be toasted. And well done. :)
Made proudly in Omaha, NE! Forgotten flavors: Salmon, guacamole, carrot.
I legit want to try those pizza-flavored Pop-tarts.
All hail Wildberry, good enough to even be the borders of the vid.
A+ video!
LOVE IT! Pop-Tarts are so awesome!
you forget that most toasters also had 2 slots, unless you were lucky enough o have a 4 slicer, but even with those it heats two spots at once.
I got some a few years ago and was shocked - the pop tart had shrunk to the size of a postage stamp!
i love them toasted
I can't remember the last time I toasted one. But I did ary fry a few
I'm the monster that freezes their Pop-Tarts.
Mann.. look at how big the pop tart is in their hand compared to ours today! What the miss frizzle is this 😂
Never ate pop tarts for breakfast. They were so sickeningly sweet it gave me headaches. I usually had them for dessert and even then I only had one at a time
I'd like to try one of those. Looks yummy 😋 But I don't live anywhere near US 😢
Damn I forgot minis existed!
The Keebler dude looks like the elves
