The alternative product tempting people away from Pop Tarts are called Toast’ems, said to be similar – only cheaper.
While packets of eight Pop Tarts are on sale for £3 apiece, or 75p per 100g, you can snap up Toast’ems six-packs for £2 – 69p per 100g.
That means buying a box of Toast’ems instead of Pop Tarts every week for a year would prove to be £52 cheaper.
Retail giant Iceland announced the arrival of the new product in a Facebook post yesterday, declaring: “Toast’em pop-ups are here and you’ve got to try them!”
