Haven’t bought name brand Pop-Tarts in years, but have occasionally picked up Toaster 'Betes or whatever the off-brand versions are called.

Noticed a ‘sale’ on the name brand and got conned into buying them. They’re now smaller, have less frosting, and have way less filling. The damn things were so flimsy that two of them snapped trying to take them out of the toaster.

If you get a craving for some nice sugary betes for breakfast, stick to the off-brands. They’re now higher quality than the name brand.

The future is stupid.

    Okay, I have to put my foot down. Pop-Tarts originally didn’t have frosting and they were much better. I don’t want to hear any more about this frosting shit.

      The frosting started in 1967. It’s sort of been a while on that one.

          I don’t remember any that didn’t, only a few flavors that normally came frosted but also had a marked unfrosted version.

          Is this a Mandela effect thing from the universe you came from? Did the Monopoly man have his monocle there?

            I dunno. Maybe. I didn’t eat a ton of pop tarts, honestly. But I’m fairly sure there were unfrosted flavors back in the day.

            But I still have a monopoly set with a battleship as one of the playing pieces.

              Wait, they try to say that wasn’t one of them now? Because of course it was.
