Flavor #2: Strawberry

Just a heads up: I know that some of you are thinking "strawberry is the best", but that's highly debatable seeing as how we've already established that brown cinnamon sugar is pretty popular too. So, I think its a universal agreement that their both pretty fierce competitors. K? Cool?

Anyway...
My mom bought strawberry so that's why its next. (And now that I think about it, its good thing I'm doing this before I go to college because I can't pay for all these pop-tarts myself). I put one in the toaster and left the other one cold just for experimental purposes. I was pretty surprised to find that strawberry actually tastes pretty good cold. In fact, I think I liked it better! Something about the jelly being warm just didn't do it for me. The icing's good and I love strawberry flavored anything, but for some reason this pop-tart didn't really hit the spot.

And here's why: the crust is kinda powdery and the jelly gets waaay hot. But after letting it cool for a bit and taking a quick bath in milk, it was still pretty damn good. I don't really know how I feel about any jelly-filled thing being toasted/warm but it worked out ok. Still not as good as cinnamon (in my professional pop-tart opinion).

However, strawberry tastes really good cold...perhaps better than cinnamon does without the toaster. So if you need a pop-tart on the go, strawberry's a good choice. You'll still want milk though because milk's the bomb and pop-tarts just need milk.

So...
Crust? meh
Icing? Super yum!
Filling? Gooey, but still good
Milk? Where would pop-tarts be without it?
Toasted? its alright
Cold? Magically delicious!
Overall score: 6

Can't wait to hear Therese's controversial response.
(I'm totally kidding. You write whatever you want sis!)
Good luck and may the odds be ever in your flavor.
