It comes in a fun multicolored box complete with question marks and a magnifying glass. The pastries themselves have white frosting and crunchy white bits but most intriguing is its clear filling that doesn&#8217;t give off any clues to its real flavor. <\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>As mentioned above, the mystery aspect is well executed throughout both the product and packaging. So well done in that regard. These also had a nice doughy taste that was pleasantly surprising. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Great-Value-Frosted-Mystery-Toaster-Pastries-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Great Value Frosted Mystery Toaster Pastries 2\" title=\"Great Value Frosted Mystery Toaster Pastries 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>However, if we go back to the mystery flavor aspect of it, it might&#8217;ve been taken a little too far as I can\u2019t figure out for the life of me what it could be. I enjoyed eating them as the mixtures of textures between the crunchy bits, frosting, dough, and sticky filling were all very satisfying. The flavor, though? I HAVE NO FREAKING CLUE. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Great-Value-Frosted-Mystery-Toaster-Pastries-3.jpg?resize=600%2C493&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Great Value Frosted Mystery Toaster Pastries 3\" title=\"Great Value Frosted Mystery Toaster Pastries 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"493\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I ate an entire box, dissected one to isolate the filling, and even asked friends for help, but all to no avail. They have a sweet, definitely fruity taste but not enough flavor to lead my taste buds to anything more specific. I couldn\u2019t even narrow it down to some potentials.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>The ingredients list does offer up a morsel of info in that white grape juice concentrate is one of the things listed. However, upon further thought, this is likely how they executed the clear filling because it also does say natural flavors too. <\/p>\n<p>Since toaster pastries are meant to be, well, toasted, I thought this action would help me out and unearth its true flavor. Did it work? Absolutely not. I was still stumped eating the warmed-up concoction. <\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>This is a decent store brand Pop-Tart that\u2019s kind of tasty and fun with its white\/clear elements that beg you to investigate the mystery! However, anticipation and excitement soon leads to frustration as you realize the flavor isn\u2019t nearly intense enough to guide you anywhere.
