I had not eaten Pop Tarts in years and could not resist in trying these. How in the heck can you get root beer in a Pop Tart? Besides the price was right at the 99 Cents Store. A buck for a 28.2 oz box containing 16 pastries. I never thought Pop Tarts as being particularly healthy and surprised they contain 10% of daily Iron, Niacin and Vitamins A, B1, B2 and B6. But of course there are bad ingredients like corn syrup. There are 200 calories per pastry. Icing is colored to resemble root beer foam. You can smell root beer aroma when popped out of the toaster. Taste is not so much root beer as filling flavor is rather faint. They are okay tasting but not great. Better to stick with chocolate filling.

Oh yeah, we still have A&W here -- though they're usually inside of gas stations. Go figure.

I had these when they first came out. Still reminds me of why I stick to toaster strudels....

I've had these. They're alright, could have been better. The Orange Crush ones are the same way.

I was going to try Orange Crush but your assessment is what I figured.

I want to try it haha I am a sucker for rootbeer. I like eating poptarts uncooked so maybe it will have more of a taste. I want to try the orange crush one too. Just an orange poptart sounds nice haha

For that price I would have bought them too just to try them out.

Doesn't sound bad nor good, I used to eat PopTarts when I lived in the states. Now they don't have them here so it is just as well.

I don't think any of the stores here still carry this flavor. I did see a frappachino or mocha flavored pop tart the other day at Winn Dixie though.

I've never been a big poptart fan, when I do I prefer to eat them like a cookie, untoasted. -- this sounds good though. I love rootbeer
