Haven’t bought name brand Pop-Tarts in years, but have occasionally picked up Toaster 'Betes or whatever the off-brand versions are called.

Noticed a ‘sale’ on the name brand and got conned into buying them. They’re now smaller, have less frosting, and have way less filling. The damn things were so flimsy that two of them snapped trying to take them out of the toaster.

If you get a craving for some nice sugary betes for breakfast, stick to the off-brands. They’re now higher quality than the name brand.

The future is stupid.

    At this point the only brand name stuff that’s truly ahead is soda 😭

      I dunno, Aldi and Lidl in the UK have half decent cola, lemonade and other flavours of fizzy drinks. Their iced tea isn’t too bad either.

      When the price difference is less than £1 per 2Litre bottle or over £3 for the branded stuff I’ll put up with the difference.

        That’s a fair point. I’m mostly just firing a shot at the shitty walmart brand ones, but it’s probably way better elsewhere
