Pop Tarts are a popular brand of fruit-filled desserts sold by Kellogg’s, with over 2 billion sold annually. They come in various flavors and are most popular in North America and the UK. The product has been subject to lawsuits due to its tendency to catch fire if left in the toaster for too long.
A Pop Tart is a brand of fruit-filled desserts sold by the Kellogg Company. A pop tart is flat and rectangular, about 3 inches by 5 inches (7 cm by 13 cm). Each pop tart consists of a pastry shell with a sugary filling inside. Many varieties of pop tarts are glazed. A pop tart should be warmed in a toaster oven before eating, but this isn’t necessary; many people prefer to eat them cold.
Pop Tarts are the Kellogg Company’s most popular product with over 2 billion sold annually. This popularity has led to branding in many cases, with the name Pop Tart commonly referring to any fruit-filled breakfast pastry. The Pop Tart is most popular in North America and the UK, although they are available for purchase in almost every country.
The list of Pop Tart flavors is almost endless. Most are fruit-based flavors, such as strawberry, berry, cherry, blueberry, and double blueberry. Other flavors are more candy-based, such as s’mores, chocolate fudge ice cream, hot cocoa, double chocolate, and mint chocolate chips. Additionally, there are flavors that fit somewhere between the two categories above, such as Strawberry Danish, Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Apple Strudel, and Strawberry Milkshake.
The Kelloggin Company began production of Pop Tarts in the 1960s. Four original flavors of Pop Tarts were introduced to the market: Strawberry, Brown Sugar, Cinnamon, Currant and Blueberry. Shortly after Pop Tarts’ debut, they were popular enough that many grocery stores were having a hard time keeping the item in stock. Pop tarts weren’t originally frosted, but soon after the popular breakfast pastry frosting was introduced it became the norm.
The Pop Tart branding has appeared on several products. For a short time, Pop Tarts cereal was sold, although it was not as effective as the original product. A mobile variant of the original Pop Tart design has been created, called Go-Tarts. Instead of being square and flat, Go-Tarts are narrow tubes, designed to be more portable than their rectangular counterparts.
The Kellogg Company has been the subject of numerous lawsuits over Pop Tarts. This is because, when pop tarts are left in the toaster for too long, they have a tendency to catch fire. In response to these lawsuits and to prevent further litigation, a warning was placed on the Pop Tarts packaging stating that the toaster should not be left unattended when heating the product.
