We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

It's like a cracker sandwich with the same amount of filling you'd get by lightly buttering toast.
Bakeries in the US (or at least DC) will often make actually good tasting pop tarts. The store bought ones are always too dry for me to enjoy regardless of brand. It's like eating cardboard.
either choice too sugary for me, would try a poptart without frosting if was a thing
The American trick is to dip them in high fructose corn syrup to help wash down the sugar.
You have to have the frosting. There’s so little filling that you can’t taste it, but you need something on the cardboard
They do! They have a strawberry one that doesn’t have frosting and it’s so much better, in my opinion.

trying to take them out of the toaster.
You.... you actually toast them?
I never have consumed them on a regular basis, but I don't think I've ever toasted them a single time. lol
I don't like my food raw. You should see how black my m... ok, that started to sound like a sex joke. But really I burn the shit out of meat.
They are also ultra processed. They probably don't really even have to wrap them in that fake foil wrap because they are gonna stay exactly the same without it.
Dude those things are more sugary than a handful of candy along with minimal nutritional value. They were good like 15+ years ago but the enshittification has fully run its course. I stopped buying them years ago..
Scan with with Yuka app and I bet you'll find more garbage in them. Oddly enough, a lot of big named brands have the most toxic additives.
the most toxic additives.
Food sold in the US or Europe, at least, does not have toxic additives. If you're scared of "chemicals", please for the love of the earth, educate yourself.

Now I usually either have a PBJ or bread rolls or even soda crackers and bananas for breakfast.

Okay, I have to put my foot down. Pop-Tarts originally didn't have frosting and they were much better. I don't want to hear any more about this frosting shit.
The future is stupid.
True dat. There is Lemmy tho, so. Half-credit.
