Who would have thought sticking Pop-Tarts in the freezer would make them&#8230;Um&#8230;Slightly better?  <\/p>\n<p>When I mean &#8220;slightly better,&#8221;\u009d I mean they&#8217;re cold, because anything cold tastes much better in this summer heat.<\/p>\n<p>The instructions on the box say you should put them in your freezer for at least 20 minutes.  However, I found out that either 20 minutes is too short of a time or my one-year old freezer sucks, because my frozen Pop-Tarts were hardly frozen.  I recommend leaving them in for at least two hours.  <\/p>\n<p>What the freezing does is make the Pop-Tarts chewy, cold, and that&#8217;s about it.  However, that&#8217;s good enough for me because in three days, I ate eight frozen S&#8217;mores Pop-Tarts.  That approximately averages to too many per day.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help it though.  Those S&#8217;mores Pop-Tarts were downright good.  They tasted like s&#8217;mores, with its chocolate\/marshmallow filling and graham cracker frosting.  It&#8217;s a wonderful way to enjoy s&#8217;mores without the gooey mess and the hassles of building a campfire, which is hard to do in the middle of a concrete jungle and my property manager doesn&#8217;t allow open fires on the premises.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, this was supposed to be a review on the new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Pop-Tarts, but the national grocery store chain I shop at didn&#8217;t have any.  Instead, I had to settle for whatever they had (i.e. S&#8217;mores Pop-Tarts), which turns out wasn&#8217;t a bad thing to settle for.  It was like I really wanted to go out on a date with Angelina Jolie, but I ended up going out with Lindsay Lohan instead.  Not really what I wanted, but delicious nonetheless.  (Wait, I can say that?  Lindsay Lohan is 18 years old, right?  I don&#8217;t want to seem like some pedophile creep.  She&#8217;s eighteen?  Good.)<\/p>\n<p>To be honest, it&#8217;s been awhile since I&#8217;ve had Pop-Tarts.  The last time I had them was when the craziest flavor was Brown Sugar Cinnamon and the rest of their offerings were fruit flavored.  Now they&#8217;ve got all these crazy concoctions that sound more like flavors of ice cream than flavors of Pop-Tarts and my sweet tooth thanks them for it.<\/p>\n<p>For now, I think these S&#8217;more Pop-Tarts are the best tasting Pop-Tarts I&#8217;ve ever had\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6Frozen.  Unfortunately, during my frozen S&#8217;mores Pop-Tarts addiction, I forgot to try toasting them.  <\/p>\n<p>Damn you Pop-Tarts Yeti!!!<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Frozen S&#8217;mores Pop-Tarts<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b>  $1.69 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Cool, chewy goodness.
