We&#8217;re Pop-Tart aficionados, if you will. We consider them to be part of our complete breakfast, and sometimes lunch, dinner, and midnight snack.<\/p>\n<p>In the past few months, we&#8217;ve reviewed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/index.php?p=52\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this one<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/index.php?p=50\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this one<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/index.php?p=12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">this one<\/a>, which have also turned out to be our top three all-time favorite Pop-Tarts flavors.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, I came upon the new French Toast Pop-Tarts and wondered if they really did taste like French Toast. However, it&#8217;s been a while since I&#8217;ve eaten French Toast because I&#8217;m afraid of eggs, due to the egg cholesterol controversy. <\/p>\n<p>First, they say eggs are bad for me, then they say they&#8217;re good for me, then they say they&#8217;re bad for me again, then they say they&#8217;re good for me again, and then they tell me that they&#8217;re good for me if I eat it in moderation.<\/p>\n<p>Since I haven&#8217;t had French Toast in a long time, I can&#8217;t remember how it tastes. So I decided to overcome my fear of eggs and make French Toast.<\/p>\n<p>Because I watch excessive amounts of the Food Network, I felt like I could cook some mean French Toast. Although to be honest, I mostly watch it for Rachael Ray. <\/p>\n<p>After cooking a stack of French Toast and adding the butter, cinnamon, and syrup, I did my comparison.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, man. I forgot that I made some damn good French Toast.<\/p>\n<p>Hell yeah!<\/p>\n<p>Oh, they were so heavenly.<\/p>\n<p>Then I declared myself the King of French Toast and I thought no inferior French Toast Pop-Tart could beat MY delicious French Toast.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The French Toast Pop-Tarts were pretty good, with its syrup filling and cinnamon sprinkled on top. However, it&#8217;s not the best Pop-Tarts I&#8217;ve had, but it&#8217;s probably one of my top 5 favorites. <\/p>\n<p>Although, I think that the syrup filling wasn&#8217;t that sweet and I wish it had a cinnamon-flavored frosting, instead of just cinnamon sprinkled on top. But overall, they totally do trump my own French Toast.<\/p>\n<p>I guess the King of French Toast is dead.<\/p>\n<p>Now that I think about it, maybe the reason why I stopped eating French Toast was not because of my fear of cholesterol, maybe it was because I suck at making French Toast.<\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> French Toast Pop-Tarts<br \/>\n<b>Purchase Price:<\/b> $2.50 (on sale)<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 3 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Cinnamon.
