Pop tarts have been around for as long as I can remember. I know my mom used to buy them and keep them in the pantry so us kids could fix ourselves something to eat in the mornings. She and my dad liked to sleep in on the weekends and the kids were expected to fend for themselves for breakfast. And we were totally OK with Pop tarts and a big glass of cold milk.
Now I buy a box of Pop tarts once in a while because they are fast and cheap. They aren’t very portable though. I have tried to take them camping and fishing with me, but they always get busted up and I end up with a silver foil pouch full of crumbs. If there was a better way to package them and keep them whole, I would buy more of them and take them on the road with me. As it is, I grab one in the morning on my way out when I’m in a hurry.
