Best pop tarts?

Strawberry Pop Tarts are the ONLY Pop Tarts.

I ate a pack of Cinnamon Brown Sugar with frosting every morning during my thru. Always kept them in the box.

Yup, so true. When I returned from the Little Debbies hike, I craved sugar for about 3 weeks. I was pretty surprised, but I didn't give in, since I realized what was happening. It's not a big deal to eat this sort of thing while hiking, but scary when you think that sugary stuff is such a big part of the typical American diet.

For some folks....i.e. people of Wal mart!! It's just a normal part of their diet...scary! Wonder why there are so many fat Azz people in the USA....go to Walmart after dark scary!

Of course lunch was M&M Peanuts. Seemed like I was eating half a pound a day and still loosing weight.

You can cook instant oatmeal in the packet. The only real time involved is the boiling of the water.

True, but then you have - oatmeal - which is bland, tasteless and disgustingly glue-like to me . I wish I liked - oatmeal - but no amount of doctoring with brown sugar, raisins, or whatever makes it palatable to my taste buds.

Unfrosted cinnamon and brown sugar for the win.

Best sugary high calorie breakfast of all time though is Morton honey buns- too bad they don't make em anymore.

That's one thing I liked about pop tarts was they weren't as sticky and messy as Honey Buns, though you did have to deal with the tart mash in the later supply days.

Try adding warm water to old fashioned oats, then it will be bland, tasteless, but not glue-like.

I knew a thru hiker named Nature who had massive amounts of pop tarts shipped to her all along the trail in 2009. She ended up ill and spent time in the hospital.

Oddly enough- I didn't eat a single pop tart on my thru. Or honey bun. But as a kid I liked the brown sugar one.
