What’s your favorite Pop-Tart?

Kellogg’s created Pop-Tarts as an “on-the-go” breakfast pastry in 1964.

The prototype was called fruit scones, but the fruit exploded when it got hot—the solution was to poke holes in the top of the pastry so the steam could escape.

As of 2021, there have been 20 standard Pop-Tart flavors, generating around $1 billion in net sales annually. (Source)
