The people have spoken, and what they have said is, “we want Arctic dairy beverages distilled into rectangular toaster pastry form.”
Yes, after much clamoring from a cult of cow-juice junkies (in other words, fans), both Strawberry Milkshake Pop-Tarts and Vanilla Milkshake Pop-Tarts are coming back from whatever breakfast Hades Pop-Tarts shuffle off to when they’re discontinued from this mortal coil.
Both were originallky introduced in 2006 as part of Kellogg’s Ice Cream Shoppe line-up, which also included Ice Cream Sandwich Pop-Tarts—the fact that Kellogg’s morning necromancers skipped over that one will forever earn them my soft-served ire. And while Strawberry Milkshake got rave reviews and has since been the subject of countless Facebook petitions and annoying BuzzFeed nostalgia-holic listicles, I recall Vanilla Milkshake’s reception being more tepid—so I’m surprised to see it riding the coattails of its fruitier, more successful sibling.
Oh well, regardless, I’m triple-deckering both with a Hot Fudge Sundae Pop-Tart to make a Neapolitan pastry sandwich sharply sweet enough to carve a portal in space-time straight between Michigan and Renaissance-era Naples.
Why did they stop making vanilla pop tarts? I had those as a kid and they were my favorite (late 70’s, 80’s). They really should just bring them back. Not everyone likes all these fruit ones or mixed ones, sometimes people just want either vanilla or chocolate.
Is it me or could Kelloggs have named the Vanilla Milkshake pop-tarts also just “Vanilla pop-tarts”?
i mean were exactly would be the difference? Both should’ve vanilla flavored cream inside, right? 😉
Ok… point taken… Vanilla Milkshake sounds fancier and way more catchy 😉
CHEERS!
Well, at least I’m excited for those vanilla milkshake pop tarts! Actually, make that ecstatic!
