It's time to unwrap the foiled sugary saga of Pop-Tarts! The iconic breakfast pastries that have toasted their way into the hearts of millions. From their crispy, frosted beginnings in the 1960s to their status as a pop culture phenomenon, we're exploring how Pop-Tarts became a toasted favourite.
We head back in time to the post-war drive for convenience that led to their invention, touching on the fierce rivalry between Kellogg’s and Post that sparked the Pop-Tart revolution. We also talk about the ridiculous amount of ridiculous sounding ridiculous flavours.
But it’s not all sprinkles and frosting—this episode also covers the dark side of Pop-Tarts, from their questionable nutritional value to lawsuits involving flaming toasters and misleading labels. It's a treat you won’t want to miss!
