Around SBN: Four TCU Football Players Among 17 Arrested In Drug Ring

EXCELLENCE IN MARKETING: HFCS BELT EDITION

We like the way the Mike the Tiger looks hesitant and worried in this context.

"Hey, now. Just take it easy. You weren't actually thinking about eating me, were you? Like you can't even name a single thing besides sugar and flour that this is made of, right? There's no telling what kind of Korean factory runoff is actually in this yellow dye. You could whip it out to piss tomorrow, throw a cigarette in the shitter afterwards and--BOOM! There goes your house, you, and your dog, and you'll think, just seconds before you're disincorporated, "Hey, I wonder if whatever's in a Pop-tart turns human urine into a potent, flammable explosive?" The answer would be yes, but it's too late, and now your gluttony and love of packaged food has cost you everything, you complete and utter asshole.

Consider an apple? Yes, a delicious apple instead, or perhaps any other Pop Tart out of the box rather than me."

The Clemson pop-tarts crumble into nothing before you even take them out of the shiny wrapping.

Can you buy Team specific boxes?
That is to say, if I bought a Tennessee box, would one taste outstanding and the rest leave me utterly disappointed?

Why put decals of CAl or BC on there? This promotion isnt offered outside the mason dixon line.

Must be to incite locals into chants of EESSSS EEEEEE SEEEEEE SPEEEEEED

Actually, I would bet the all-natural sugars, fats, and oils are probably worse for you than the artifically developed dye.

I see no Nebraska logo? I guess “sucking ass strawberry” must not be a popular flavor.

Though, given that this week gives us the first Saturday in October, I denounce any inch given to Pacific Life University of texas, I will say this: “Oklahoma! flavored Pop!Tarts…why not eat the whole box!”
WARNING: Kellog’s™ Corporation asks that you see a doctor if you have consumed a whole box over the course of a regular season. Possible side effects include, but are not limited to: Choking, Puking down your leg, Academic ineligibility. Advertisement, thoughts, or the presence of Burlington Coat Factory stores or related goods have been known to induce cleptomania after the consumption of “Oklahoma!” flavored Pop! Tarts

The Cal Pop-Tart tastes good for about the first half and then makes you want to puke after you’ve finished it.

WVU Poptarts:

“Warning: may cause choking, impaire decision-making ability, and/or induce shitting the bed.”

Your subtle digs at LSU have not gone unnoticed. Please be aware that Mike the Tiger is not intimidated by his likeness being devoured via Pop-tarts. Rather, once the consumer inhales said likeness, that person will feel the sudden urge to drink himself to the brink of liver failure and hurl obscenities at all opposition, including but not limited to Gators and Gator-fans. Be forewarned that the only way to alleviate such abuse is to entice said persons with more alcohol, fried foods, and numerous scantily clad women.
Good luck.

Would an Illini Pop Tart get better and better every bite?

by WhiteSpeedReceiver on Oct 7, 2008 2:01 PM EDT reply actions  

Michigan-flavored pop tarts: Still mediocre… even when you open them up and spread out the filling.

Mizzou-flavored poptarts: overall a very nice snack… unless you are double-fisting with an Oklahoma poptart, in which case it tastes like boogers.

That Mike the Tiger looks like it was eyeball’d on there by a bad tattoo artist.

USC tarts – whole box is awesome except for one that tastes like someone shit a 3AM Denny’s meal into it

tOSU tarts – exclusive warning on box cautions consumers NOT to mix tOSU tarts with any tart not affiliated with the Big 10 or serious consequences to include violent gagging, choking and shitting of beds

F$U tart – has answers to numerous course exams printed on every wrapper

KU and Maryland tarts – contain about 7000 more calories per serving to sustain… nevermind… that’s just cold

Maryland PopTarts. Open one box and there will be 10 inside. Another box may have 2. But, one thing’s for sure, you’ll always be glad when you’re done with them.

And, bonus fact, the box for the NC State poptarts tastes better than the pastries inside.

@ meatybob – the Nebraska version was considered unfit for public consumption.

I’m assuming when you eat the Oklahoma version, you cough it up at the very end. Just a hunch.

The Notre Dame Pop Tart disappears if you turn it sideways.

UT grads do not eat pop tarts. Too low-brow.

I’m also sure that The University of Texas charged way too much money for Kellogg’s budget to license the logo use. We earn 8 million plus a year in marketing/merchandise.

As HFCS is the State Food of Tennessee, I’m very amazed that big ol Orange T ain’t on the box.

A ‘taint’ on the box?

I guess the Syracuse logo would be on a box of cupcakes.

The Northwestern Pop-tart costs twice as much as the Michigan Pop-tart, is usually served frozen, and you really hope that brown filling is supposed to be chocolate.
