Went looking for Pop Tarts in my local Sainsburys and was told they no longer stocked them because they'd been banned??

Yes. I remember in 1992 on Watchdog on bbc1 they issued a warning about them, as there had been several complains about the filling being mega hot and causing burns.
I used to eat Pop Tarts for breakfast in 1992. I liked the strawberry and the chocolate ones.
Yes I heard about that.Tbf they did used to warn about this on the side of the packets.
I haven't had one in years but it's a shame if they've been removed because the chronically stupid can't read a package warning.
This. It is rather depressing really.

Same if you heat things in the microwave or use boiling water. You're going to let them cool first.
The Oreo ones are delicious. I bought them from an American store (Stateside Candy Co). I wish they had more flavours widely available over here.
PS - to the people who are burning themselves. The filling shouldn't be that hot if toasted on the lowest setting, as the packet instructions advise. I've never burnt myself while eating a Pop Tart.
Always like to let them cool a little.
As well as Chocolate and Strawberry we now have Bustin Berry, Very Cherry and Apple Blast.
All we need now is some of the weird and wonderful flavours the US has got.
I didn't know you could get those flavours, my supermarket has only had strawberry and chocolate for years but have just added apple, I thought it was new.
My daughter used to do that!
Am I the only person who never liked them
The US flavours have a blue box as opposed to our orange ones.
My faves are cookies and cream, choc chip and brown sugar cinnamon. Some are too sickly (hot fudge sundae, blueberry).
