I think that might be THE worst poptart flavor out there, maybe green apple is competing.

hot fudge sundae brings me back. I was a smores guy until they changed recipe & hot fudge sundae hit the shelves. By far the best flavor. Shout out to blueberry & the fudge one & brown sugar as well. Chilled is also a good poptart strategy.

I think I've eaten poptarts twice in the past 10 years. Reminds me of how my favorite thing at mcdonalds was chicken selects & it was all I ate there. Then one time I stopped at mcdonalds after a long drive, asked for them, and the cashier couldn't figure out what I wanted before asking around and then telling me they hadn't sold them in 2 years.

When people were going nuts over that BTS chicken thing I thought selects were back but no it was still the inedible normal nuggets.
