pop tarts were "invented" with the idea that you could quickly get a warm pastry in the morning by simply putting them into a toaster. i don't think there was particularly much variety in the early days, probably just strawberry, cherry, and blueberry. the wide selections of flavors and different frostings and poo poo is fairly recent because pop tarts, like everything else in america, has a weird cult following now

also companies stopped introducing new products with new brands, choosing instead to build new flavors and variants and extensions on top of their current brands

if you are the snickers corporation and you want to launch a new "peanut brownie" flavored candy bar, it makes much more sense to just make a "snickers: peanut brownie" bar and draft off of snickers already existing brand value than to try and launch it as a new product with a new name and a new brand

pop tarts are sweetened, mass-produced bits of garbage that we give to kids to get them to shut up for a bit. i would be shocked if this concept didn't exist in basically every country to some extent.

The origin of happy numbers is not clear. Happy numbers were brought to the attention of Reg Allenby (a British author and senior lecturer in pure mathematics at Leeds University) by his daughter, who had learned of them at school. However, they "may have originated in Russia" (Guy 2004:§E34).

they tried to release pop tarts in the UK in the 90s but idk if we have more powerful toasters or our population are idiots or what but people were accidentally getting them incredibly hot inside and getting burns, so that and a minor junk food panic saw them vanish

I guess you can probably get them now though idk

toaster strudels are better than pop tarts in every way. they're actually somewhat flaky and chewy, the inside is more tart and less sweet, and you can apply as little or as much icing as you prefer.

I was never able to figure out the magic toaster setting that made toaster strudel come out nice and hot inside while not destroyed outside, but frankly my toasters have always sucked

It's much harder to gently caress up a pop tart, aside from the time that half the pop tart fell into the toaster body somehow??

you ever notice that the 2nd run of toast through a toaster always comes out better? you gotta turn the heat down a bit and then do an empty cycle to preheat it for the real thing.

WE ARE SMART
In October 2002, four months before the US invasion of Iraq, Iraqi Vice President Taha Yassin Ramadan suggested U.S. President George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein settle their difference in a duel.[55] He reasoned this would not only serve as an alternative to a war that was certain to damage Iraq's infrastructure,[56] but that it would also reduce the suffering of the Iraqi and American peoples. Ramadan's offer included the possibility that a group of US officials would face off with a group of Iraqi officials of same or similar rank (President v. President, Vice President v. Vice President, etc.). Ramadan proposed that the duel be held in a neutral land, with each party using the same weapons, and with UN Secretary General Kofi Annan presiding as the supervisor. On behalf of President Bush, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer declined the offer.
