[Updated] I Ate A Pop-Tart - 3/10
It was OK, nothing to write home about, so I wrote this instead.
As part of an ongoing and never ending I've Never Seen Star Wars-esque series of things that many others have have tried but I haven't, I bought myself a Pop-Tart and gave it a go.
I can't remember who, if anyone, on the radio show had this but I do know it was the first thing on my list.
And so, on with the experience.
I was first surprised how thin it was, even when I was buying it I was thinking, "Hmm, this is a *lot* thinner, aren't they meant to be all puffed up and full of fruit that will become piping hot and burn the inside of my mouth." ... when I got it home I discover the thin packet contained TWO.
I had an official Pop-Tart that was much less wheleming that I had imagined. I took some photos, read the *very* small print, turned the toaster setting to lowest and in they both went ... wait ... done, yeah, my tart has popped, let's nosh on down.
Smelled like cardboard, tasted like sweetened cardboard.
Oh well, I didn't really expect masses ... the two highlights are the spelling (the hyphen is required, why?) and that I did it. Points, oh I dunno, 3 (maybe 4) out of 10, it's been a long time coming and I'm just happy I finally got there.
During my morning read Feedly pops up this gem, The Pop-Tart and Liquor Pairing Guide
What next ... I've borrowed The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as I make my way towards the book I really wish to read, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. All this may take a month or so and be perfect summer reading.

Pop-Tarts are high in calories and low in nutritional content. Each individual Pop-Tart contains a minimum of 13 grams of sugar and 5 grams of fat. [source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pop-Tarts][Update: 2-Dec-2019, added the following]

You are serving guests at your black tie-only cocktail party Pop-Tarts, of course, because you are cultured and refined. But which liquors should you offer? That's a complex question, as it is best for you to serve particular liquors with particular Pop-Tart flavors. You can't just mix them up, you philistine. I mean, what would people say about you if you drank Lagavulin with a box of Jolly Rancher Green Cherry Pop-Parts?
