Like how Britney avoids court dates, for many years, I stayed away from Whole Grain and visa versa. I’m not sure when the dislike began between us. Maybe it was the time when I dropped the letters W, L, and E from its first name and went around calling it “Ho Grain.” <\/p>\n

Or maybe it was the time when Whole Grain called me a “man-whore,” willing to give up my body to any lonely middle-aged\/senior Japanese female tourist willing to buy me cheap cigarettes, a fake flower lei<\/a>, squashed Twinkies, and a can of Asahi beer.<\/p>\n

Those days have passed and Whole Grain and I have become friends. How did that happen? Well it’s because I’ve been seeing Ho Grai…oops, sorry, it’s kind of a habit. I mean, I’ve been seeing Whole Grain all over the place. I’m not only seeing it in the bread aisle, but also the cereal aisle, pasta aisle, and amongst all the Hot Pockets. I figured if I’m going to have to see it all the time, there’s no sense in being dicks to each other. So we called a truce, we’ve been getting to know each other, and apparently Whole Grain is not so bad.<\/p>\n

First off, Whole Grain provides fiber and that’s something we all need in order to poop properly. Secondly, it watches the TV show 30 Rock<\/i>. Thirdly, we both hate and wish nothing but the wrath of everything evil upon Wonder Bread<\/a>. So all of that might be the reasons why I enjoy the new Whole Grain Strawberry Pop-Tarts.<\/p>\n

It tastes just like regular unfrosted Pop-Tarts, except with a slightly grainy texture. There’s a drizzle of frosting on top and it is pretty good for something that supposed to be “healthier” than the original version. However, it tastes like regular unfrosted Pop-Tarts probably because their nutrition facts are very similar. The Kellogg’s Whole Grain Strawberry Pop-Tarts have 20 less calories, 1 less gram fat, 0.5 less grams of saturated fat, 20 less milligrams of sodium, 2 less grams of carbs, 1 less gram of sugar, and 2+ grams more of fiber. <\/p>\n

Despite the whole grain, the Kellogg’s Whole Grain Strawberry Pop-Tarts are only slightly healthier than regular Strawberry Pop-Tarts, which is disappointing, but again, not surprising since they taste very similar. <\/p>\n

Shit! I feel duped. You deceived me Whole Grain…or should I say Ho Grain. <\/p>\n
