#19: Fruit Top Pop-Tarts
Fruit Top Pop-Tarts placed visible dollops or stripes of fruit filling over the pastry’s frosting, because ordinary filled toaster pastries apparently needed exterior jam too. Sold in the late 1980s, they looked elaborate for something eaten before school. The variety vanished, and surviving advertisements now provide most evidence of its existence. Modern Pop-Tarts offer endless flavors and promotional collaborations, yet none recreate the delightful redundancy of fruit filling both inside and sitting proudly on top.
