In other news, I got a box of strawberry pop-tarts.

They're okay, but I guess somewhere along the line I forgot that the only pop-tarts I really like are the brown sugar ones.

Most people don't know that toasters don't toast evenly. The inner part of the toaster stays warmer than the outer part. So you should face the icing side outward so the toaster won't over toast the icing.

I personally open the foil pack flat and arrange the Pop Tarts on it, icing side up on a radiator. And yeah, that means I don't eat Pop Tarts in summer. Though I saw a notation about eating them frozen... So I'm intrigued.

I was waiting for someone to say "I roast them on hot sidewalks" or something. This comes pretty...close.
