  • Pop-Tarts are a yummy treat, not just for breakfast, but for almost any occasion. For decades, children and adults around the world have devoured untold numbers of delicious Pop-Tarts. But surprisingly, these toaster pastries from Kellogg's have actually been banned in a number of countries, including Finland, France, Austria, Norway, and the U.K. Why? Because they just might kill you.
    Yes, it sounds melodramatic, but Pop-Tarts, like many American foods, contain artificial food coloring. And those dyes include known carcinogens as well as other ingredients that studies show can be dangerous, especially to children - the intended audience for Pop-Tarts. It sounds crazy, but that's the surprising reason Pop-Tarts are banned in other countries.

    I've only once had the opportunity to eat a pop-tart. My childhood friend who lives in the US came to visit us in Finland and brought some Pop-tarts with her. I was expecting them to be exceptionally delicious because you Yanks talk about them often and they're being enjoyed in all kinds of TV shows and movies, but much to my disappointment they weren't all that special to be honest.

    I have a genetic tastebud thing where I can taste dyes. red dye tastes extremely bitter, I can't even enjoy 99% of things with the red in it. All the dyes taste different but most you can't taste unless there's a lot in it. Aside from red dye. The worst taste ever.

    • @lj2265
      @lj2265 3 года назад +1

      I never understood why people say dyes don't taste like anything lol the orange bit in the center of a Cadbury cream egg is supposed to be the exact same as the rest of the cream just with food coloring in it, but it tastes different from the rest of the cream. It also feels denser and has a different creamyness on the tongue.

    It's strange that simple food dyes contain such dangerous substances at all. It shouldn't be necessary. Also, they could easily exchange those food dyes for ones that aren't dangerous. On the other hand, artificial sweeteners are used in more and more products, and they haven't studied the longterm effects of those enough, except that they already know that several of such sweeteners are harmful either for us or the environment, or both.

    But I guess they did put them on the supermarket shelves just for a while, to see how customers would react. The bad thing is that now they're gone again and I only have a few of the Strawberry left to eat😢
    I hope that they come back, but I guess they won't, at least not here at my small village supermarket.

    Sadly, the presentation here isn't targeted to the subconscious and only speaks to the rational mind. As such, the information isn't going to even register for anyone who really needs to hear it.
    We have to dumb it down, keep it constantly grabbing their attention, sensationalize the adverse effects, and suggest better alternatives that are just as simple to purchase while insisting they're cheaper and more delicious whether those claims are objectively true.
    The American public have become toddlers due to unrestricted marketing towards their subconscious. Facts don't do anything to persuade hardly anyone who graduated from mandatory education here. Critical thinking is an un-American character trait.
