Pop Tarts
You know how growing up you assume that everyone else lives the same life as you and then as you grow up and meet other people you slowly find out that you do some things differently than everyone else. Growing up we could never have the Pop-Tarts with frosting on them, because that would be dessert, not breakfast. Not that we got Pop-Tarts, with or without frosting, all that often. So pretty much they were a delicacy. Anyway, when you toast the unfrosted Pop-Tarts, putting butter on them is pretty much the only way to go. The butter melts into the crust, it's great all around.
Lately I've been finding out that putting butter on Pop-Tarts is greeted with a near universal "huh?", followed by a semi-universal, "wait, what? gross." Not sure why no one else I've talked to lately has ever done this. Probably because they only eat frosted Pop-Tarts. It's rare to ever see more than the strawberry flavored Pop-Tarts in the unfrosted form these days, although I did happen upon some unfrosted blueberry about a month ago. Anyway, I think they are great, and I encourage you to try it out. |

Hmm I tried them when I was on the go when I was in the Navy...yeah never again I would take a hard to eat plain bagel over all that sweetness and HFCS lol . And the butter over it never heard of it.

I love the Brown Sugar Cinnamon ones but don't eat them much because they are fattening. If they weren't I'd eat them way more.
Many, many years ago when I wasn't working in childcare a co worker would bring the unfrosted ones to work and put butter on them. They were delicious that way. I had never heard of it either. I wish they were healthy but since they're not I limit them. Laurel |

The only time I've ever heard of adding butter is when a child is in dire need of additional calories. Otherwise, why add something not very nutritious to something already not very nutritious? :confused:
They're okay though....I've eaten my fair share of them in my younger/college/"can't afford real food" days....I've also bought them for my own children from time to time as a treat. Oh and just in case anyone wants to know..... the peanut butter ones are like peanut butter cookies. :p :ouch: |
