From 1964- not in mint condition

Throwback Thursday. From my old Beatles magazine 1964. I was a fan.

I think I devalued it by writing on the cover šŸ˜‚ – it’s sixty years old!

Yes I wrote my name on the magazine cover

Sugary Breakfast ā€œPastryā€Pop-Tarts Introduced in 1964

Pop-Tarts. Yes or no?

Since 1964. Ā They come in a foil sleeve in a box from the grocery shelf. Ā Steve was given a box of Pop-Tarts (Strawberry) and he put two in the toaster. The hot bubble-gum flavor aroma alerted me that something was up in the kitchen. When they came out, he put them on the plate, and showed me. Ā I said ā€œWait, don’t bite it yet. Let me photograph them.ā€ Ā They are from the same era as Tang, an orange powdered breakfast drink that the astronauts were supposedly consuming.

Sugary is the word. There are 18g of sugar in a serving. Here’s a CBS News articleĀ  Pop-Tarts

Pop-Tarts is a brand of toaster pastries that the Kellogg Company introduced in 1964. Pop-Tarts have a sugary filling sealed inside two layers of thin, rectangular pastry crust. Most varieties are also frosted. Although sold pre-cooked, they are designed to be warmed inside a toaster or microwave ovenā€ Ā  Ā  WikipediaĀ
