Before I went to BlogHer last year, I asked Kellogg’s if they would send me some promotional Pop-Tart stuff to hand out.
This was their response (exagerrated paraphrased):
We’re glad you are addicted to, errrr, love Pop-Tarts. Unfortunately, we can’t just go around sending free Pop-Tarts to anyone who asks for them.
Excuse me? Don’t you know who I am? I’m not just anyone: I’m your unofficial spokesperson.
Sure, if you Google “Pop-Tarts” and go to “Images, ” my blog doesn’t come up until page 10, but if you Google “Pop-Tart vodka,” I’m on page 1 and every other page. In fact, almost half of those pictures are from my blog.
-
An early picture of my vodka collection (It has since then doubled.)
- Pop-Tarts from the Hipster
- Mini vodka bottles
- The Dude-flavored vodka
- Me blowing out the candle on the birthday cupcake from Misty
- Me eating Misty’s homemade maple-bacon Pop-Tart
- A picture of me and Jules.
And so many other pictures of random vodka flavors and random Pop-Tart flavors, always lamenting for Pop-Tart vodka.
I realize a lot of them are vodka-related, and that isn’t real marketable to a younger audience, but adults like Pop-Tarts, too.
That’s my new slogan: Adults Like Pop-Tarts, Too.
Would adding “Boo-Ya!” at the end be too much?

I thought of you yesterday when I went to the fair and saw deep fried pop-tarts. I just couldn’t bring myself to get one. Sorry.
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:44 am
I got one a few years ago. I was unimpressed.
Our fair is in 2 weeks!
September 3rd, 2013 at 10:22 am
It’s our favorite one!! We can’t wait. 🙂
September 3rd, 2013 at 8:41 am
Pop tarts have never been my favorite, but I am intrigued by the pop tart vodka 🙂
September 3rd, 2013 at 8:45 am
Maybe they DID google your Pop Tart exploits, saw you eating that “non-Kellogg” counterfeit Pop Tart and became offended.
Personally, I think the sheer quantity of legitimate Pop Tarts you’ve eaten should more than make up for that one slight transgression.
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:45 am
But…but…Misty made that one.
September 3rd, 2013 at 10:22 am
Yeah, Bluz . . . what are you trying to say about my Pop Tart? I’ll show you counterfeit. Humph!! (I have no idea what that means).
September 3rd, 2013 at 5:25 pm
Little did we know that Misty has a side job going, wheeling and dealing in black market counterfeit Pop Tarts. Who knew?
September 3rd, 2013 at 8:54 am
I craved Pop Tarts and Corn Pops when I was pregnant!!!!! They are the best! 🙂
September 3rd, 2013 at 8:56 am
Thoughtsy, just FYI pop tarts have the highest mercury content in all of the pre-packaged world of foods. I know they are yummy, chocolate fudge is my favorite, but that shit can kill you.
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:46 am
Pop-Tarts and jelly and BBQ sauce and a bunch of other stuff I eat on a regular basis.
No worries. I’ve built up a tolerance.
September 3rd, 2013 at 12:32 pm
That’s as good an excuse as any. Meet you at the grocery.
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:28 am
I craved Pop Tarts and pork-n-beans (yes, together) when I was pregnant… I can no longer eat them 😦
However, I think that Boo-ya is absolutely necessary!!!
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:47 am
DId you make a pork-n-beans Pop-Tart sandwich?
September 3rd, 2013 at 10:23 am
No, I dipped the Pop Tart in the pork-n-beans… the thought gags me now!
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:41 am
Shared you over at Dadmissions on Facebook. Love the pop tart blog
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:52 am
Stupid Kelloggs, they could have had such an amazing opportunity.
September 3rd, 2013 at 10:01 am
All my bestie craved during her first pregnancy were strawberry Pop-Tarts dipped in Tostitos Queso. Also good drunk combo.
September 4th, 2013 at 6:58 am
Queso is so good.
September 3rd, 2013 at 10:34 am
I love this slogan. You should also start promoting “adult” pop-tart flavors like chocolate ganache, salted caramel, guava, meyer lemon raspberry, ginger, and, obviously, vodka. This is totally a bajillionty dollar idea.
September 3rd, 2013 at 11:15 am
I am a bit shocked. A Pop Tart without frosting is like an omelet without eggs.
September 4th, 2013 at 6:58 am
It had a glaze, so we’re good.
September 4th, 2013 at 8:35 am
Oh, thank Heaven! I was worried that Peep was eating your brains. Incidentally, do you have Carl’s Jr. around your neck of the woods? They have a new dessert. Pop-Tart Ice Cream Sandwich. I can hear Peep screaming for that from here. Peep needs that for proper development.

They’re probably afraid you’ll hurt their sales of kitten-flavored Pop-Tarts.

Reblogged this on Scribbles of a Geek.
September 3rd, 2013 at 5:10 pm
You get so many comments. Lucky…
September 3rd, 2013 at 6:55 pm
i had a chronic blueberry (no frosting) poptart addiction back when i was a temp circa 2002. toasted them in the office toaster, didn’t care who saw. they spiked my blood-sugar in a major way….to the point where i’m not sure if i may or may not have xeroxed my own butt. (kidding! kidding??)
September 4th, 2013 at 7:00 am
No frosting? Imagine what you could have done with frosting! The possibilities are endless.
September 3rd, 2013 at 8:14 pm
Wait a minute?! If I’d have known Misty makes bacon maple pop-tarts, I’d have said, forget the sushi, bring me one of those!!!
September 3rd, 2013 at 8:31 pm
Just give me more than a day’s notice next time you visit, and you’ve got it! 😉
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:20 pm
Facebook GPS tracking wasn’t timely enough for you???
September 3rd, 2013 at 9:17 pm
I’m so confused…. why is there a box of Pop-Tarts AND a Tupperware container also containing Pop-Tarts???? LOL
September 4th, 2013 at 7:01 am
Because you can never have enough Pop-Tarts.
September 4th, 2013 at 6:28 am
Did someone say vodka? No idea why MY picture popped up, then…
September 4th, 2013 at 7:01 am
Do you even like vodka?
