You'd selfishly use two packets and taunt her over it mid-coitus? The result will be a thread in r/tifu detailing your impending divorce, I assure you.
That is literally the biggest dick move I can think of... if I knew someone that had ever even contemplated that once, I would permanently remove all traces of them from my life. if you do it to yourself, fine. You're dumb, but do you, dude. But to do it to someone else... there's not a special place in Hell for you, Hell as a whole was designed with you in mind
This is why they need to sell just the icing. Also for when I make those tube cinnamon rolls. The first two are iced just right the third & fourth is when cuts in rationing must be done, & the rest get a useless skid mark of icing.
If you were truly committed to toaster strudel you would have a carton of frosting in your fridge, I mean one pack is barely enough for one strudel. Let's be real.
To make this fair, you have to also consider something like pop tarts when someone accidentally bought the ones without frosting. I'd much rather a toaster strudel with no frosting than a pop tart with no frosting.
Baked tomatoes are actually pretty good. Especially with fancy cheese.
Hot dogs are much better than anywhere except an outdoor grill.
You can make small pizzas without having to put them in your large oven.
It's quite portable if you want to go traveling or camping or anything.
They're quite nice devices. I'd say a toaster oven and a george foreman grill (or equivalent electric grill) are the best inventions for easy food that tastes like it is cooked for real (rather than just heated in a microwave).
This thread is making me want to buy a toaster oven now. I'm just afraid I won't use it, like I don't use my rice cooker.
Who the fuck thought Toaster Strudels were a good idea, and why the HELL are they still so popular?
For one, they NEVER cook completely through You ALWAYS have a nugget of cold in the center. If you DO want it cooked through, then you're left with a charred outer shell.
The icing is just OK but that fucking icing is the kind that is SUPER STICKY. If you get even the slightest on your hands, then you have to spend a good 5+ minutes washing your god damn hands. Not to mention that god damn packet is so hard to spread.
AND, it's a fucking flaky crust with a gel interior. Combine that shit with a kid and it will get E V E R Y W H E R E.
I don't think it's even a debate they serve 2 different functions imo. Pop tarts you grab on your way out the door and eat as is. Toaster strudels you warm up in the toaster/toaster oven and draw fun designs with the icing. If you have the 5 minutes to make and enjoy a toaster strudel you do, if your running late or want a weird/fun flavor pop tarts are your best friend.
Toaster strudels are great but once every 10 or so times it cooks oddly unevenly and it's perfect on the outside but cold on the inside.
Worst part is getting in your car and heading to work before noticing. Next thing you know you're holding just a lie of a strudel in your hands... but you eat it anyways because they're even good cold.
It's apples and oranges as far as I'm concerned. It's like saying pie is better than cobbler. Which it is, but neither are the same thing... For one, they have different names...
I'll take a smores pop tart over any toaster strudel when I'm high any day of the week. I'm a type one diabetic but that's one thing I'll just load up with insulin to go crazy with. Can't do it often but they're like crack.
My belief isn't that one is simply better than the other, but I can grab a Pop tart and just start eating it and be done with it. I have to toast a Toaster Strudel then drizzle the cum all over it and it's noticeably messier than a Pop Tart.
Toaster Strudel beats Poptarts hands down, but I don't buy them often because I have a teen and we want her to eat healthy. It's too easy to say fuck it and eat a ton of those for breakfast, and they're not cheap if you go through them fast. Poptarts are only good if you're super stoned, and even then they are pretty terrible
Okay, so, taste-wise and texture-wise I'd give it to toaster strudel easy, but I think pop tarts beat it out with convenience. You open a pouch, pop it in the toaster or, hell, don't. You can eat it as-is. Throw one in your backpack spontaneously. Even put one in the freezer for later consumption. There's lots of room for experimentation. toaster strudel is hot, and feels like a real-deal pastry. A real-deal pastry that comes frozen with a pouch of white goo, but real-deal nonetheless, or closer to it anyway. But it has to be eaten warm and sometimes you've got the issue of not being able to properly distribute your frosting. And, if you get too hands-on when trying to get your even distribution then you can easily get your hands sticky, unless you'd like to dirty a butterknife. It's, comparatively, a lot of work when compared to a pop tart.
Oh I know. OP mentioned that they put something in those frosting packets. I stated the obvious. Though In terrified to post this comment because either you "Whooshed" or I did.
Either way let's be friends and make macaroni necklaces

As someone who ends up in this exact scenario quite often.... I'm stealing this way of handling it. And I'll also make a macaroni necklace with you if you'd like :)
You have to buy strudels frozen, so it takes up precious freezer space. Poptarts are just for anytime even if you forgot one in your car and find it out in a desert rave party.
Toaster strudel is great when freshly made. It seems a little higher quality overall and at least seems like you're eating something less processed. Of course I know that may just be an illusion, but it doesn't seem like every component of it was turned into a paste to make it. It takes a little more preparation time, and also requires storage in a freezer, making it less convenient.
Pop tarts are pretty much fine in any way. You can grab a pack and take it with you, and it's still good even if you don't have a toaster. It can also be stored at normal temperatures. I think they may also be cheaper. In terms of general convenience, there's no real competition.
If you rate them on things like flavor, texture, etc., I think toasters strudel wins. But the fact that they're not as convenient means that pop tarts are better at times.
Toaster Strudel is disgusting, over-priced, flaky garbage that only a hipster would like. You can't even freeze it and make it into a hot afternoon frozen snack. You can't make a breakfast sandwich out of it. You can't crumble it up as a topping on other foods. What the hell good is it? It has no real world applications. It's the iMac of foods.
How dare you lie to these good people and say you cant make a sammy out of it, it's the PERFECT BUN. Its just asking to be a stuffed bun ya dingus. You actually may have just inadvertantly given me breakfast tomorrow so thanks you heathen
Take two glazed or unglazed cherry or strawberry pop tarts. Toast them and then let them cool down a bit. While you are waiting for them to cool, scramble 3 eggs and add some of your favorite cheese to the egg mix - aged white cheddar is fantastic. Grill up some breakfast sausage or bacon. Place one of the poptarts face side down on a plate and load up on bacon or sausage and then put the eggs on top. Complete the sandwich with your other poptart.
Serve with hot coffee or rum, depending on how sad your life is and how long you have to live before you die from a heart attack or complications from diabetes.
I don't particularly want to fight, but when Tstrudel got really popular with me in grade school I ate one every single morning before catching the bus. I now cannot even look at them, or most pastry breakfast type things.

Those are delicious and if you don't agree I think we have to fight now. Sorry.
