National Pop Tart Day: A Rivalry Worth Toasting

Pop Tarts have been a staple of American breakfast since 1964, when Kellogg’s launched them to compete with Post’s Country Squares. This rivalry was more than just business—it became a cultural phenomenon, even inspiring the recent movie Unfrosted.

Pop Tarts quickly became the more popular choice, evolving from a quick breakfast option to a symbol of nostalgia and creativity.

This photograph highlights three classic flavors: Strawberry, Blueberry, and Cherry, each broken open to showcase their simple yet iconic fillings.

National Pop-Tart Day!

May 19th today is National Pop-Tart Day! Very timely with the release of the Jerry Seinfeld motion picture “Unfrosted”. A whacky comedy about the race between Kellogg’s and it’s biggest competitor, Post, to bring a toaster breakfast pastry to the market in the early 1960’s. The ultimate winner, Kellogg’s still turning out millions of them 50 years later. More of my food photos on my website at http://SecondFocus.com
