Just use the quote system. @ works fine for other places, but quotes work better here.

@Crono I've never heard of anyone getting heartburn from poptarts? Are you eating the Jalapeño flavored poptarts? :)

I know I wish there was just the TART available because the outer crust they use is damn good.

Crono - Hmmm, I would guess that the amount of CO2 in poptarts would be minimal. However, everyone's system reacts to food differently. Myself, I can not drink anything carbonated, so I feel your pain. :(

The very definition of a tart is something that contains fruit filling unless of course you are speaking about the other type of tart, I digress. Oh, wait I have to remember not to take words too literally. ;)

Really??? I didn't know you couldn't eat things that are not so healthy in moderation. Silly me.

Yes, but theirs is different; they bear fruit of the womb.

Yup.

List of nasty foods surrounded by crust, DO NOT EAT:
Pop-tarts
Hot Pockets

Any others?

Hot Pockets do make me ill. I think it has something to do with the poor quality of ingredients. I think I once ate a rat in a hot pocket. Alas, that is another thread.

I used to love Pop-Tarts when I was a kid, but I tried one recently and they've changed a lot since then.

Yup.

Agreed. They SOUND great...but fail to deliver.

They've been around since I was a kid...in dinosaur flavor back then...and in spite of all the hype and advertisement, they tasted terrible back then...and have only gotten worse over the years as Kelloggs keeps reducing quality to save pennies.


Eggo's are another terrible thing passed off as "food."

They only resemble waffles, they don't actually taste like them.
