Recently, a woman from Illinois sued Kellogg's $5 million because the so-called "strawberry-flavored" Pop-Tarts were actually made with apples, pears, and color additives. When I heard about this, I was a bit speechless at the fact that this is the case. The same thing happened with Starbucks when they got complaints that their pumpkin spice lattes didn't have actual pumpkin flavor, so in 2015, Starbucks went to using the original pumpkin recipe, after being complained to since 2003. Or that famous Mcdonald's coffee lawsuit where Stella Liebeck sued them for burning her body over overheated coffee back in 1992. Thanks, Adam Ruins Everything! Anyways, Kellogg's getting sued is probably a big deal for them now, so they have to go to court. In fact, Jerry Seinfeld actually made a joke about Pop-Tarts while live on Letterman. We have that clip. Credits go to NBC and David Letterman for the original deal. And I guess, Seinfeld himself for saying those words. Oh I dunno.
GUESS WHAT? SEINFELD IS MAKING A MOVIE ON NETFLIX BASED ON THAT JOKE!!! I'm not kidding, this is real.
KELLOGG'S! SHAME ON YOU! YOU DIDN'T USE REAL STRAWBERRIES AND WENT TO USING APPLES AND PEARS? I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU PEOPLE GOT AWAY WITH THIS FOR MANY YEARS.
So the next time you have a Pop-Tart, remember that it isn't strawberry-flavored at all. Seems like it's too good to be true.
