What do you eat for a typical breakfast?

[Cadence]

That stuff here is treats.

Got bored and added things up. Two pop tarts have about 5 or 6 times the amount of Suger than what I eat. And I thought mine was high in Suger- 60 grams over two weeks.

Personally, one of the interesting things about poptarts is that they're like a totally different food when they're hot vs. when they're untoasted.

I thought they were designed for after the apocalypse to feed the cockroaches.

My mother made me eat weet Bix for 15 odd years for breakfast. Never had one.

Google pop tarts NZ apparently you can get them here. But on the same page.

Why You Should Never Eat Pop-Tarts, Like, Ever

Pop-Tarts make for a delicious breakfast when you're on the go, but experts say that it's actually really bad for you. Find out more at SheFinds.com.

You're thinking of Twinkies. They should survive hundreds of years beyond any apocalypse, barring them being burnt (and I'm not even sure of that).

You would need to read the labels on North American "breakfast cereals" in order to be sufficiently appalled at what qualifies as "food" here. Most is grain coated sugar nodules of some sort. I'm patently amazed that it took me over 55 years to become Type 2 Diabetic, given that virtually everything we eat here has added sugar.

I'm appalled at the labels here. Even as a kid I didn't like frosted cornflakes or whatever.

I ate a poptart once. That was enough. Effin disgustin.

But then most American sweets are. I blame the ubiquitous corn syrup that seems to be in everything. Including the bread. Why is it in bread? When I was over there I had to go to fancy grocers to find decent bread. (Admittedly this was 20 years ago, things may have improved.)

Found pop tarts at supermarket. Only two flavors though chocolate and s'mores.

Bought some low Suger cereal to make more room for booze in lockdown.

Sugar/corn syrup is in bread because, along with the yeast, it makes the bread rise more and more quickly. It's all about the bottom line.

Discovered banana-flavored Pop-Tarts exist. Not 'banana creme' so not as sweet nor drenched in frosting. Pretty good to go down dry.

Must - find - and - try!

Chocolate pop tart to me just looked like a cookie or biscuit.

Two if them are about the same price as a pacjet of chocolate mint biscuits so yeah fairly pointless to buy.

HFCS when Suger is to expensive and not unhealthy enough
