Review: Pop Tarts Team 2012 USA Mixed Berry Limited Edition
I love the Olympics! It is always cool to see athletes from all over the world come together and compete in events that I would never be able to do on my best day. If only they had a snacking Olympics. Or a watching TV Olympics (I would bring home the gold, let me tell you!)
I also love tie-ins! What better way to capitalize on an event then to bring out an item of food themed around that event. Which brings us to Pop Tarts! They have a Team 2012 USA edition with a mixed berry flavor.
I felt like Charlie Bucket in Willy Wonka when I opened the package. Look at the cool gold foil these Pop Tarts are wrapped in!
Apologies for the picture, I tried to capture the gold as best as I could, but it doesn't photograph well. Unfortunately, this isn't actual 24 carat gold like the Olympic medals. But it is still pretty awesome. And if the foil wasn't cool enough, check out this patriotic Pop Tart!
This Pop Tart LOVES America. It is practically jingoistic. It always stands and places it's hand over it's heart when it hears the pledge of allegiance. It flies a large flag outside it's home proudly. It's ringtone is "God Bless the USA" by Lee Greenwood. It advises you that this is America: Love it or leave it.
But how does it taste? Like a Pop Tart. The frosting is pretty standard vanilla and the sprinkles are a nice touch. I don't know how much dye they needed to make the pastry red, but it was worth it. It makes you feel patriotic just eating it. The berry flavor is also very good, and not too strong. Sometimes after eating a Pop Tart you feel like you might have heartburn because of the sweetness, but not with this one.
Go for the Gold and pick up this Pop Tart today. Happy Snacking!
