"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
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. 🤦🏼
@@Southernguy39 I will
@@Southernguy39 he’s not wrong. They are better.
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!
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 😋
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
I was able to meet Mr Post at my Kelloggs plant a few months ago, just before he passed.
A very nice gentleman. Thanks to him and thanks to all of you for your love of pop tarts!
There’s a movie coming to Netflix early next month!
@@SneedyKetler FOR REAL?! .O.
@@SneedyKetler Unfrosted on Netflix this Friday!
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.
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
God I miss those crazy good commercials
Such a missed opportunity to bring them back during the Pop Tarts Bowl
Me too
CUHRAYSEEGUND
I love this channel...and especially this narrator's voice & delivery. Keep these coming, Weird History!😎
Pop tart world sounds awesome
I still remember bringing a box of poptarts to a college study session during my first year and becoming popular
FAVE NARRATOR!!!! I remember frequenting a beer and wine bar in Santa Barbara (Elsie's), and the food they 'served' was ... Pop Tarts! Coolest place ever!
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.
Unfrosted brown sugar is the best. Sucks that they’re so hard to find
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!
I am surprised it’s even close to half that get toasted! Can’t remember the last time I toasted a pop tart. I’m more likely to freeze them, like with S’mores, which are amazing out of the freezer.
Crap. CRAP! Now I have to go buy a box. Crap! (I can't ever stop with one box lol) I keep my chocolate, especially mint aero balls
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.
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.
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!
I prefer the plain pop tarts without the plaster hard frosting, which are rare to find nowadays.
Convenience stores & small groceries that only offer 2 or 3 flavors still carry them. I just went into an old 1950s/60s bait & beer shop in the Hamptons that were selling them. They were sitting next to the live night crawlers in white plastic containers so I didn’t get them.
My granny and grandpa used to buy the unfrosted ones and they buttered them!
Is the world in grayscale for you? 😭
@@pnwflipper2089 oh, that is the only way to enjoy them!
People act grossed out when i tell them i like the unfrosted strawberry ones.
Because most toasters have two slots. Video over 😬
And because people are fat
I thought the same thing. Wasn’t a real struggle to put two and two together
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
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
My grandkids were shocked when I told them that when I was a kid, Poptarts didn't have frosting. I still prefer them without frosting. You really need to try melting cheese on a blueberry Poptart! I love it! I was born in 1963.
It sounds good! My granny and grandpa used to butter unfrosted strawberry pop tarts. I can imagine how cheese would be nice on blueberry…
Unfrosted blueberry pop tarts with some goat cheese would be absolute 🔥🔥🔥
@@pnwflipper2089 my mother would put butter on our poptarts when I was a kid in the 70s. I still think she was a bit deranged for that. but, everyone has different tastes.
I only ever get cookies and cream, and I stick them in the freezer and enjoy them as a frozen desert treat
Fun, interesting information, and the narrator has a great voice for this- quirky and engaging.
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 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.
I love this channel. Thank you!
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.
Pop tarts + Capri suns =Good ol Starter pack for Lunchboxes
Pop tarts + Capri suns = diabetes and organ issues for the rest of life (and don't forget having to gobble a bunch of pills and side effects too!)
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.
I can remember when Kellogg's brought out a sister product, Danish Go Rounds
I'm trying not to say anything mean but can't go without commenting.
@@lucho_1980why’s that?
Thank u weird history food for doing pop tarts
One of my favorite channels on RUclips and of course the man that makes the voiceovers for animals, Rxckstar. :)
I prefer microwaving them. 7 seconds each side and you get a warm pop tart with a gooey filling.
If you put a glass of water in the microwave at the same time the crust will get even softer.
The pop tart bowl is single handedly the best advertisement I have ever seen
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.
Unfrosted cherry was my favorite. One of the many things I miss from the 70's.
I absolutely love this damn channel lol ❤
Every time I hear this guys voice, I give the video an instant thumbs up. He hasn’t done a bad video yet! The other weird history food voiceover person on the other hand 😬😬😬😬😬
Love pop tarts! And glowing wrappers are stunning!
Love the food, hate the ad (it was WAY creepy)
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.
Living in a country where those toasters are a rarity (we toast bread on a metal plaque put over a stove burner), I wonder why these confections are unknown here, if they don't even need to be toasted to be eaten 😂
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.
Why did this video have to come out during Passover lol now I have to wait to eat some pop tarts
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 my first pop tart when I was 10 , and now at 44 still enjoying them.
To quote Seinfeld:
"One's not enough, three is too many that's why."
Why did I just watch a whole video on the comprehensive history of Pop-Tarts
Post called their version, Toast Ems
I feel like toast ems are more affordable
@@Jonathan-ye1nm Definitely less expensive. In my opinion, they taste just as good too. I rarely but pop tarts, mostly is in craving a flavor that Toast Ems doesn't have. Their selection is far fewer.
Why two? Well that's easy, one just isn't enough LOL. Love the chocolate fudge ones. It's the only kind of chocolate fudge I look forward to burying my face in.
Exactly... who's eating 1 pop tart?
😆
@@petersarubbi Me as a diabetic 40 something
@@jesseincognito. kudos to you for the self control👍😃... I just have avoided them for years now since losing all my extra unhealthy pounds... I was in the Paula Poundstone camp... the box was one serving 😆
One before school and one after. 😊
Thanks for this! 🍒
ABSOLUTELY LOVE POP-TARTS!!!
BOTH of them!!!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
And I thought I was the only one who broke my pop tarts in half most of the time 🤯
I break em both in half so I can kind of re wrap em and save for later
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.
I love Pop Tarts. 😊
My brother and I loved the blueberry ones as kids! Fond memories!
They come in twos so that you can hold one in each hand to make a perfectly balanced breakfast.
Out of the flavors I tried my favorites are Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Chocolate Chip, Crisp Apple and Red Velvet Cupcake
9:47 That was one hell of a transition
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.
Amazingly WEIRD History ❤
I'm kind of shocked the pizza version didn't take off. They should try it again.
First pop tart I ever tried was at a friend’s house when I was five. It was Wild Berry. That icing reminds me of the 90s so much.
I love the wild berry pop tart. Totally forgot about the wild flavors lineup they had too
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.
I have never toasted a Pop Tart.
I like only the unfrosted ones.
Seems like strawberry are the only unfrosted ones I find at my local store.
I loved the brown sugar cinnamon ones until they started frosting them.
Too sweet for me!
Lmao this man’s face 1:48 you just knew he was always up to some scheme 😂
1 Pop Tart for every 20 people..WTF, did some soldiers didn't realize that they would need a whole lot more than that. That just pissed me off!!!
Unfrosted Strawberry forever!!! Have always loved Pop Tarts for as long as I can remember. Will remain a cherished memory.
Never had one before, I’m probably missing out 😂
Should definitely try em
Frosted strawberry Pop Tarts lightly toasted, then BUTTER THE BACK SIDE. You're welcome.
If you're home alone, how are you supposed to butter your own backside?
This channel has become my nightly routine 😂
I just watched a PBS Eons about what the world will look like in 300 million years. They talked briefly about Pop Tarts. These will never go away.
I ate a Pop Tart while watching this.
I didn't heat mine up I just ate it.
I normally don't heat mine I just snack on them.
Apple jacks pop tarts is another id like to try
The apple strudel pop tart was my favorite! But out of all the other flavors Cherry or Wildberry are pretty good too- frosted of course.
I wish we still had the apple currant flavor.
Toaster Strudel for the win
Have you ever put butter on a pop tart? It’s so freaking good.
Pop Tarts are the GOAT
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.
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.
Unrelated, but seeing a crowranaburger clip in this video was awesome.
Shout out to Cereal Time TV, wish he still posted reviews.
This makes me want a Pop-Tart real bad.
What about the Pillsbury Toaster Strudel? Can you do a video about them?
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.
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.
Anyone over 30 knows Pop Tarts can't replace cereal because they're only PART of a complete breakfast
Love strawberry tarts! Now I crave for this after warching the video
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?
I had my first single pop tart two weeks ago after not having them since the second grade. I actually ate one and left the other one alone. Boy, was it good!
tell me Big Food is owned by Big Tabaco without telling me Big Food is owned by Big Tabaco
We never had a toaster so I exclusively microwaved my poptarts as a kid. Just me?
It's been a while since I've watched any content on the channel. This is probably the first. This is probably talked about because of the film with Seinfeld in the making of Pop Tarts.
Releasing this Friday. Really looking forward to it.
I'm usually not a fan of pop tarts but the smores are still good
