Is it me or do they pack these things so they smash the fuck up every time now. I've not had a full poptart in years. I stopped buying them for 4-5 years as I was pissed off with having to hook bits of poptart back out of me toaster.

This week I've had a rough week. Hard week at work, family stress... I just fancied a poptart for fuck sake. First 2 in, and half a poptart out. Is someone in the factory just picking up the box after packaging them and smashing the whole thing on the deck?

Goes off to have porridge instead...

    No I've just got the standard toaster. I've bought these from about 6 different shops (tesco, sainsburys, lidl etc) they always seem to be smashed. There's a gap of about 4 poptarts worth in the box when you open it. Like its designed to look bigger.

      how are you getting them home? perhaps next time you go to the store come prepared with some bubble wrap and a box to carry them in to see if that fixes it

          yeah but if they are getting stuffed in a bag with other groceries that might be what is crushing them

            Box isnt deformed or folded though. Thats what makes me think this is a factory or packaging thing

          Dalek' walk home ;)

          For real though even if you go to many different stores in the same area it's quite possible you have the same company delivering to those locations. That company might not be loading their trucks well. It's all guesses but i can tell you i unbox more than your average person's share of poptarts as part of my current job and they've been in great shape.
