NY Pop-Tarts Store Open For Treats
Breakfast Food Launched In 1960s

New York -- A spot dedicated to breakfast toaster treats just popped up in New York. Pop-Tarts World in Times Square is dedicated to all things sweet, sugary and tart. It joins stores already opened there by Hershey's and M&Ms. "A Pop-Tart is a childhood memory in a rectangle," said Dana Cowin, editor-in-chief of Food and Wine magazine.

The store sells many flavors besides strawberry, blueberry and cinnamon. It even sells Pop-Tart sushi. There isn't any fish in it, it's Pop-Tart pieces rolled in fruit. Pop-Tarts originally launched in 1964 as a breakfast you could toast and eat.

"There's really nothing else like it," sand Andrew Shripka, senior brand manager for Pop-Tarts. "We ask consumers all the time that if it didn't exist, what would you replace it with? And really, they have a hard time coming up with anything." Kellogg's sells 2 billion Pop-Tarts every year. The food has a Facebook page with nearly 2 million followers.

Marion Nestle, a professor of nutrition at New York University and the author of "What To Eat," said Pop-Tarts are "an iconic junk food." "It violates my rule of healthy eating, which is you never buy anything with more than five ingredients. This one has dozens of ingredients," Nestle said. But Kellogg's said it's all about balance and the food is made for fun.

I looooooove the wildberry Pop Tarts. But apparently they don't carry it in my area anymore!

I saw wildberry pop tarts at big lots, you might want to check there if there's one in your area.

I do have a Big Lots but it's doubtful that they'll have it there... I did a search here:

http://www2.kelloggs.com/ProductBuy.aspx?id=445

and I get this for my zip code:

Refine Your Search

We’re sorry. No stores were found within 30 miles of your location that carry Kellogg's® Pop-Tarts® Frosted Wild! Berry toaster pastries.

Please try one of the following options:

* Widen your search distance.
* Search for a different brand or product.

I would try anyway, I did a search also using several Kellogg's products that I know they carry and Big Lots didn't come up at all. My guess is that Kelloggs wants buyers to pay full price and since Big Lots is a discount chain, that's probably why they're not in their database. I'm going to Big Lots later today, it was a few weeks ago when I saw the wildberry but at another location.
