(UPDATE: Click this to read my review of Frosted A&W Root Beer Pop-Tarts!)
What’s more fun than a barrel of monkeys? A barrel of root beer, of course!
And what’s more fun than a barrel of root beer? Cramming it inside your morning toaster pastry!
Earlier this year we reported that Orange Crush and root beer flavored Pop-Tarts are on the way, and thanks to this picture sent in to us by reader and redditor /u/boyfoster, we know that those mythic sarsaparilla Tarts are not only real, but they’re A&W branded, too. Sorry, Mug and Barq’s fans: maybe you can convince the Pillsbury Doughboy to use those drinks in some Toaster Strudels.
According to boyfoster, who received and sampled these pastries from an in-store source, they taste good, but alas, they don’t fizzle. Oh well, I guess we’ll have to wait for Pop Rocks Pop-Tarts.
Oh, and one more juicy bit of news: according to boyfoster (whose word I now trust like scripture), there are also new Caramel Apple Pop-Tarts on the way that he was unable to photograph. Now that’s a flavor worth bobbing for!
Thanks again, boyfoster. To all readers who would like to see their picture or thoughts featured on a “Spooned & Spotted” post, head over to our submissions page, or just email us at cerealously.net@gmail.com.
Also, one more thing: If the Root Beer Pop-Tarts are real, then the Crush Orange ones are too. I’ve noticed Crush Orange and A&W are put together, so it’s no wonder they’re being released together (probably)
Hey dude, glad you posted this! You deserve more attention. But more importantly, I managed to get a picture of the caramel apple Pop Tarts! Here it is! http://imgur.com/2QNEVuQ
Holy moley: you’re the bomb, boyfoster! Thanks a ton. I’ll have to put up another post soon.
Any idea when these will hit shelves?
No, but they’re in the store’s stock; so soon obviously.
