The blog subject today is Steve’s idea.

He provided the box of the toaster pastries. He’d heard about the death of 96 year old William Post who is credited with helping create this breakfast confection.

He played an important role in co-creating the iconic Pop-Tarts brand and we are grateful to Bill for his legacy and lasting contributions to our company,” the spokesperson said.”

Have you ever eaten a Pop-Tart?
