We’ve
all talked about how great it was to grow up in our own generation,
and maybe we’ve learned some of the differences between the Baby
Boomers, Generation X’ers and Millennials. But I grew up in the
PopTart generation.
Along
with my brothers and sister, we grew up eating PopTarts for breakfast
and we each had a favorite flavor, which worked out great so we didn’t
have to fight over them. I always liked the plain blueberry
PopTarts and my brothers loved the brown sugar cinnamon, but I would
eat them in a pinch. Some people jumped ship and went on to Toaster
Strudel.
