Decided to look up the ingredients in pop-tarts. Went to http://www.poptarts.com/ and clicked on "Parents" (as distinct from "Kids") section.

Yeah.

Sainsbury's website gives the following information for Strawberry Pop Tarts:

Wheat Flour, Glucose Syrup, Dextrose, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Invert Sugar Syrup, Strawberry (7%), Starch, Apple, Salt, Colour (Beetroot Red, Annatto, Curcumin), Raising Agent (Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, Diphosphates, Calcium Phosphate), Citric Acid, Modified Starch, Tricalcium Phosphate, Acidity Regulator (Sodium Citrate), Beef Gelatin, Stabiliser (Xanthan Gum), Emulsifier (Soy Lecithin).

Looks like a nice dessert... possibly a bit sickly sweet compared to, say, meringue.

I like sugar at breakfast! But preferably not in nasty cereal form (because I hate milk and hate dry cereal...). Pain au chocolat is a lovely breakfast for instance. However I'm also dreadfully lazy, so breakfast is more normally dried fruit and coffee at my desk for me.
