Do you eat them? I like a pop tart every once in a while. Serving size is one pop tart. Is Kelloggs trying to make us fat?

Why are they packaged with 2 in a pack with no way to seal them after having eaten one serving? I can easily eat that 2nd pop tart with no problem but should I? Should I eat even one of them?

Probably not. I should probably just grab and apple or a pear.

If there were only one in a pack, I would just eat the one. I wouldn't grab a second one. The first one would do it, be just fine.

Two in a pack? I just eat them both.

I am wondering why companies package things like this.

lol. Just a pop tart rant. I got to thinking of it last night when my bf had 2 pop tarts sitting out. I had just gotten out of the shower and he asked me if I wanted one of them?

I said, "You wanna give me one of your pop tarts?" He says, "not really, but I will go get you some." We both laugh over his poptart greediness.

I go get dressed and when I get back, there sits 2 pop tarts, heated with a glass of milk.

Now he would have given me one of his, but he wanted them both really.

We shouldn't be eating them at all. These are extra calories we just don't need. Maybe we are just pop tart addicts and Kelloggs is making it worse by putting 2 in a pack!

WAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Yes I have time on my hands. Don't judge. =)

It's a good question. Why are there two if you're just supposed to eat one?

Adults eat Pop Tarts? My kids never even liked them. We'd rather eat fresh strawberries or cherries than cherry or strawberry flavored pop tarts.

Ah, PopTarts. A wonderful treat - one I still indulge at my advanced age... and FWIW, there are quite a few recipies for them that work very, very well. There was a "farmers market/shop" sort of place near Winchester, VA which used to bake their own version of a pumpkin flavored PT - they were delicious.

No, I would not eat one unless I was starved and there was nothing else to eat. Not that I'm above eating the occasional junk food, but Pop Tarts is one of those things that strikes me as having absolutely no nutritional value...like all chemicals.
I would never give them to my children.

No, I don't eat Pop Tarts. I never liked them, even as a kid and neither did my kids. But I love Pillsbury Toaster Strudels. When my kids were still at home, I would buy them for them occasionally and I would sneak one or two. Now that they're all off in college, I have no excuse to buy them, so I don't. Every time I walk past them in the freezer section, it's all I can do to pass them by.

I agree with you! If you don't eat them both at the same time then the other one will get stale. I used to put them in a zip loc bag if I only ate one, but let's be honest - I usually ate them both at once. Sadly I gave them up because they're so bad for you.
