Possibly one of the more teased breakfast items is the Pop-Tart. Here are some of the snarky burns I have heard:

"The Pop-Tart: It tastes like someone sprinkled sugar on a sheet of drywall and called it a day."

"They are so sweet my dentist bought a new car when he heard I eat them."

"The toaster looked at it and said, ‘Really? This is what I’m reduced to?’"

"Has the texture of a coaster and the flavor of regret."

"It’s basically dessert cosplay pretending to be breakfast."

"Pop-Tart or pocket-sized cardboard box? You decide."
