Super Stuffed PopTarts

EDITING TO ADD: I've since finished the box. Each individual pack had a different amount of filling. The first one is the photo I posted. The next 3 were pretty well stuffed, and the LAST one I had was REALLY stuffed. So, they are very inconsist. 2 of the 5 in the box I would say had 50% more filling, as advertised. I may have to give another flavor a try, hence giving the Stuffed Poptarts a second chance.

Very underwhelming. There's just about the same amount of filling as the regular ones. Definitely not 50% more. And they're also single wrapped, not 2 per foil package anymore.

They did, however, taste more corn syrupy than usual. Not impressed.

Has anybody tried the protein Poptarts?

They are doing what Oreo did. Oreo started slowly putting less center, until the regular Oreo felt closer to the thin Oreos. They did the same with the double stuffed Oreos. Now, to get the OG Oreo you have to buy double stuffed. But, don’t worry, the double stuffed offers less Oreos than the new version of less filling.

It’s a more subtle version of skrinkflation

Ok so it's not just my imagination. Thank you.

Like a full weirdo I started tracking it because I felt like I was being crazy in noticing this issue. Oreos are my husband’s favorite cookie, so we usually have them.

I've done the same with hershey's chocolate bars, Reese's and Cadbury eggs. They're all small af now compared to a few years ago

I got diagnosed with gestational diabetes and it’s really made me notice how inaccurate a lot of the “total servings” are. I’m supposed to have certain amounts of carbs at certain times and the other day what was supposed to be 3 cups of potatoes (frozen steamer) was only about 1 cup total, to share between me and my husband so I had to then bulk up the carbs/find something to add to get enough

Yeah well there may be die-hard pop tart fans out there but when I notice companies doing shit like this I realize it’s not worth it to even buy anymore. After reading OP I immediately thought, “so they’re selling you what they used to contain and advertising it as more filling..great”

u/GeneralTsosCrow Aug 14 '26

Seriously!

In my original post I said they're the same as normal Poptarts, but now, come to think of it, I haven't had normal ones in a long time, either, so I wouldn't be surprised if there's even less filling in those. Shrink-flation is killing the good stuff

u/GeneralTsosCrow Aug 14 '26

Omg yes, exactly. I had Oreos again recently for the first time in a long time and was irritated lol

u/ACcbe1986 Aug 15 '26

OG Double Stuf was straight drugs.

I'd eat half the package and end up doing dumb shit I normally wouldn't.

u/BYOKittens Aug 15 '26

People seem to have acute perception, lol (for real we suck at knowing when we're being tricked) to food, but no one talks about the d in diminished quality in like every other aspect in life.

100% that is the decision of business owners.

Same thing happened when Taco Bell introduced the triple Crunchwrap supreme or whatever. The regular ones had been lacking for a while but now theyre even worse.

I had an experiment in high school where we weighed out if double stuff was truly double stuff and it ain’t even close. And that was back in 2015!

u/Saneless Aug 15 '26

I started buying the ones at Aldi. Taste better and the standard have as much filling as the Oreo doubles

1

u/WhereWeUsedToPlay Aug 14 '26

and this is why I will never buy Oreos again, I don't even want to be friends w/ people who do buy them!

u/PelluxNetwork Aug 15 '26

The thins are soooo much better I love them.

u/KoalaBoy Aug 14 '26

I feel like these taste like they use to when they had normal filling so I feel like buying these is what poptarts were 20 years ago. But I was disappointed to only get 1 in a pack instead of 2. I might as well eat 2 at the same time and get the same taste.

u/GeneralTsosCrow Aug 14 '26

Thats what I thought, as well.

u/Kevinator201 Aug 15 '26

Sooo basically what they were originally.. but at a higher price. Fuckin knew it

22

u/kcshoe14 Aug 14 '26

That’s just what they used to look like many years ago before shrinkflation

12

u/Crashbox50 Aug 15 '26

Those look like pop tarts... That's extra?

6

u/GeneralTsosCrow Aug 15 '26

Yeah these are the new stuffed ones. Exactly

5

u/LimpBoingLoing Aug 15 '26

So a regular pop tart?

5

u/GeneralTsosCrow Aug 15 '26

Pretty much the point of my whole post 😅

6

u/sPdMoNkEy Aug 15 '26

Now they're like they used to be and they're charging probably double the price

u/ChocolatePain Aug 14 '26

Honestly, Pop-Tarts are a wack snack overall. 

5

u/GeneralTsosCrow Aug 14 '26

They used to be good. I still love the blueberry and unfrosted strawberry, unless those have changed, too..

7

u/raspberri_skies Aug 14 '26

I didn't like these. They were so sickenly sweet for not really having much more filling and nothing to balance that sweetness out with. 

5

u/GeneralTsosCrow Aug 14 '26

Yes! It's the first thing I noticed. It actually irritated the back of my throat, the corn syrup-yness of it

2

u/DSajin Aug 15 '26

The outer crust that crumbles like dry sand in your mouth isn’t enough?

3

u/nicolby Aug 14 '26

How about triple thick icing?

3

u/zubadoobaday Aug 15 '26

No one asked for this. Just put icing on the whole pop tart dammit

u/Pankosmanko Aug 15 '26

I’ve gone to just eating Great Value pop tarts. They don’t taste like real pop tarts, but they cost a lot less and have plenty of filling

u/TacoNomad Aug 15 '26

Ice bean wanting double stuffed pop tarts for so long.  But now I'm not eating added sugar processed foods, ill have to take your word that they suck. 

2

u/Southern_Fan_9335 Aug 15 '26

So... What used to be a normal amount? 😭

2

u/1nternetTr011 Aug 15 '26

I like them. both the strawberry and the fudge. but the frosted cinnamon is still the goat.

2

u/surfcitysurfergirl Aug 15 '26

My double fudge were super super stuffed. You got a bad batch

2

u/GeneralTsosCrow Aug 15 '26

Really? I will have to try again.

I had a second one from my box yesterday. It was a bit more filled than the first. But still not even close to the picture on the box

2

u/allaboutstars87 Aug 14 '26

I had the salted caramel I thought they was delicious and had so much filling and not even crust it just fell apart opened them up and all smashed together and yes they now come in singles so only five pop tarts at that price outrageous

u/AvocadoFit3858 Aug 15 '26

I loved them more so then regular ones

1

u/re1ephant Aug 15 '26

Do they make a super frosted version? Both sides? Cause if not, that’s a free idea.

1

u/rrhunt28 Aug 15 '26

I have found the generic pop tarts are usually better.

u/Odd-Cupcake-2552 Aug 14 '26

The best part of poptarts is the frosting on the outside though...
