\"Exclusive<\/a><\/p>\n

If you ever wondered whether or not this is the greatest time to be alive in human history, chew on this: each and every one of us can now waltz on into the local Walmart and buy The Joker, Lex Luthor and a whole host of other fictitious mass murderers and megalomaniacs in breakfast pastry form<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Capitalizing on the success of last year\u2019s D.C. Superhero Printed Fun Pop-Tarts, these Wally World exclusives give us the downright surreal pleasure – no, the absolute privilege<\/em> – of being able to eat such obscure comic book bad guys as Cheetah and Captain Cold for breakfast. And when I mean \u201cobscure,\u201d I\u2019m talking super-duper-mega-hyper-obscure: if you would\u2019ve told me this time last year Kellogg\u2019s would be putting Atrocitus on its flagship toaster pastries, I probably would\u2019ve tried to get you committed. <\/p>\n

\"Exclusive<\/a><\/p>\n

Serving as the breakfast equivalent of trading cards, each of the 16-pack boxes (there are two in each metallic sleeve, as always) contain a random grab-bag of iconic and not so iconic rogues, including but not limited to Sinestro, Two-Face, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy and Catwoman. <\/p>\n

\"Exclusive<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Exclusive<\/a><\/p>\n

By and large, the \u201cTartwork<\/em>\u201d varies in quality – some Tarts look pretty smooth and colorful while others look blurred to the point of being Rorschach tests. I\u2019m not sure how many different characters got the Pop-Tart treatment, but if anybody out there finds a Gorilla Grod, please email me ASAP<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\"Exclusive<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the flavor, we\u2019re working with something Kellogg\u2019s calls \u201cfrosted chocolate sugar cookie.\u201d That may sound a little vanilla, but as soon as these things touch your taste buds, you\u2019ll probably start doing backflips. Folks, these are basically<\/em> OREOS-flavored Pop-Tarts, right down to the taste, texture, aroma and even mouthfeel of the interior creme. Really, it does a better job of aping Nabisco\u2019s beloved twist-top sandwiches than even the Cookies & Creme Pop-Tarts, and those things were still pretty spot-on.<\/p>\n

\"Exclusive<\/a><\/p>\n

These Tarts are good fresh out of the box, but if you really want to get your $4 worth, you have to eat them heated. The interior creme practically liquefies in the shell, and this is without question one of the best tasting fillings Pop-Tarts has ever trotted out. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got to give Kellogg\u2019s major props here. With the D.C. character angle, it would\u2019ve been so easy to just churn out a bland product, but they actually went the extra mile and made sure the food itself was grade A stuff.<\/p>\n

Fast food\/junk food marketers, take note: THIS is how you do a \u201ctie-in\u201d gimmick right. <\/p>\n
