They both share some type of fruit filling or sometimes chocolate, and are an easy way to make breakfast fast. They've been a staple in many American households for a quick before school breakfast, and they aren't that expensive, either. The real question isn't are they delicious, it's which one is better?

Brittant says:

Pop tarts. I love poptarts. WHen I tried toaster strudels, it was horrible.

Paco says:

Pop Tarts are a classical American treat. I hate your face.

Paco says:

Pop tarts are a classical american treat, f**k you toaster strudel

davidjl123 says:

Pop Tarts. I tried the Toaster Strudel before and it tasted horrible. The only thing good about it is the icing.

joe says:

yummy

MindOverMater says:

Poptarts!I like the chocolate ones the best because they remind me of fudge brownies,you know how the corners of brownie pans are chewey and how brownies have that crust on top that you like to pick off,yeah it's just like that....tastes so good with a cold glass of milk

Kellie Garrett says:

Pop Tarts are definitely better...there's nothing really like them! So many varieties, and the flavor of them is just not really in anything else pastry-like. Toaster Strudels are too much like those nasty cheese danishes they have at gas stations or in vending machines. I could make a pastry way better and would rather do that than have one of those, whereas a pop tart is delicious toasted or not (and who knows how they make them, lol).

Hunter says:

Go poptarts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Besides toaster pastry strudels totally tried to copy and they make poptarts look like they suck in the commercials wich they absoulutly do not and poptarts have way more variaties so I say POPTARTS RULE!!!!!!

EileenSmith says:

Strawberry Pop Tarts are more delicious than any Toaster Strudel.

MarkUpshaw says:

No mess.

kc says:

pop tarts

Phil says:

Go POP TARTS!

Bulbasaur says:

Pop Tarts! I have never tasted a Pillsberry Toaster Strudel, but from what I have seen in commercials and comparison videos, I never will want to taste them. Pop Tarts are bigger, frostier, and are from Kellogg's. Pop Tarts have a wider selection of flavors and have sponsored for many movies, games, and many other popular things nationwide. Hands down, POP TARTS FOREVER!

cristina says:

i think poptarts because you can eat them even when they are not toasted you cant do that with toaster strudel because it would taste nasty

Kyecerulian says:

There are some horrible pop tarts (seriously, chocolate?), but if I have my choice of any I'd take the raspberry ones over a toaster strudel.

Sylvestermouse says:

Let me start off my saying, I love Toaster Strudels, but I would have to choose Pop Tarts because they are so convenient and portable. I like being able to munch them in the car or at my computer :)

Toaster Studels!

Jiggle Fuck says:

Toaster Strudels are better looking.I eat them all day every day. replaces my hooters sometimes. i agree with that guy down there VVV

Abbskidoodle says:

Pop Tarts are too sugary and plain tasting while Strudel is fruity and gooey and warm. Pop Tarts are Strudel's ugly twin..

Nigger says:

Pop tarts are only good for on-the-go, but toaster strudels are so tasty, filled to the brim with that fruit filling, and bursting with flavor. Epic win for ze strudels.

Natsu says:

Toaster Strudels BY A MILE. They're flakey, and the center is nice and gooey to the point of being able to squeeze it out.

Plus, you have the choice of icing or no icing, and where you want to put it. As an artist, I think it's fun to draw on my Toaster Strudels with icing! ;D

AND... They just taste better, frankly. :/

calia says:

so much better!

Jared says:

I like Pop Tarts, but Toaster Strudels wipe the floor with them.

Jared says:

I like Pop Tarts, but Toaster Strudels destroy them.

Nicole says:

toaster strudels all the wayy!

Nicole says:

Toaster Strudels outrules pop tarts any dayyy!

Cassidy says:

toaster strudels r sooo much better and that is a fact lol

Erika says:

- toaster strudels are awesome because they are so good ! ; & creamy , pop tarts are plain Bread !

Erik W. says:

Only because I really liked the chocolate and Smores flavor. I wish theyd bring them back, or back to PA since I havent seen them in along time.

Melanie A. says:

toaster strudels r freakin amzing!!!!!!!! i would eat them for the rest of my life if i had 2!!!!!!!!

mulberry says:

aargh, I can't choose just one! Well, I'll say Toater Struedels because they are the bigger indulgence for me...more like a warm fresh jelly donut.

mcochs says:

I just like the fruit better.

Candice G says:

I've never been fond of pop tarts, but I LOVE toaster strudels :)

Billabong says:

Toaster Strudels! Pop Tarts suck!

kiwisoutback says:

Toaster strudels! I like fresh frosting, I like the pastry, and I like the fruit filling. To me, there's no comparison. But, I must complain Toaster Strudel is lacking in variety of flavors. There, Pop Tarts have them beat. I've burned my mouth countless times on both, so I can't say that I'm not a Pop Tart fan, too.

Is this where Toaster Strudel beats the crud out of Pop Tarts? The filling in a Pop Tart is drier and chewier, while Toaster Strudel's filling really holds up after a toasting. What do you think?

    I didn't care for the toaster strudel when I tried them, if your going to make something hot it should taste good. Pop Tart Amazing :)

    Maybe it's a regional thing, but I don't believe I've ever seen anyone eating a Toaster Strudel. Ever. I recall trying them a couple times, but other than that... Pop Tarts all the way! Great lens.
