It’s October and fall is in the air. That cooler weather signals the end to another season of baseball. Now most of the teams must switch gears and begin to wind down as they patiently wait for spring to return. Yet, there are a few lucky teams. Teams filled with winners. Teams that have earned an extension. Teams that have entered post-season. Even though many teams are hoping to survive the playoffs, only two make it to the World Series. Where, in the end, one team will be left standing victorious. What does this have to do with Pop-Tarts? Everything! On this episode we try the PRINTED FUN! MLB SPONSORED FROSTED STRAWBERRY POP-TARTS. This daring tart offers 30 different possibilities for the hungry Pop-Tart fan in need of a snack.  Is this tart a winner? Or does it strikeout? Oh, the dangerous games we play. 

We're getting the band back together, or at least the culinary equivalent. Winter, Kat and the duo forever known as Series Regular have returned to kick up some crumbs and continue their quest to review all of the various variations of Pop-Tarts.  Upon first whiff of this seasonal tart, Series Regular presents tales of Portland and the emerging artisan Pop-Tart scene; while Kat gets lost in a whirl of misplaced patriotism, American history and the questionable film career of Michael Bay.  Spoiler Alert! America gets a pretty crummy birthday present in the form of the Red, White, and Berry Pop-Tart. - OR - Did Kellogg's actually craft the most appropriate tart ever to compliment the celebration of America's independence? Mission Accomplished?!

With summer upon us, the joyful days of spring are a fleeting memory for most. Why not relive those wonderful days of cool weather, new growth, and potent pollen counts with Pop-Tars Limited Edition flavor Wild Berry Bloom! Recorded in the midst of spring and excited to be returning to the podcast, Winter and Kat dive into this springtime treat with a fervor unparalleled on past episodes. Their excitement is only damped by the fact they failed to release the episode when Wild Berry Bloom was still on store shelves.    Along the way, they make plans for the future of the show, talk up Ethan Embry so more, and promise a proper return.  This is only the beginning!

With October behind us and November well established, we embark on a journey of discovery for a classic Pop-Tart flavor, the Frosted Chocolate Fudge. During our travels we discuss our general distaste for fudge and the burden one finds upon themselves when given a chunk of the stuff. Our only question is - does the Frosted Chocolate Pop-Tart suffer the same fate? Or does this fudge inspired tart rise above the faults of fudge? Our Ethan Embry Movie Club continues! We discuss his minor role in the film Disturbing Behavior and we pick next week film, THEY. Watch it on Netflix Instant and let us (@poptartpodcast) and Ethan (@embryethan) know what you think.

This week there is a great mix up at the podcast bunker. We set out to review Frosted Strawberry Pop-Tarts but grabbed the wrong silver pouches and ended up with Frosted Cherry! As professional Pop-Tart podcasters, we did not hold this unfortunate occurrence against the Frosted Cherry, instead we gave it our all. In addition to wresting with this Pop-Tart confusion, we reflect on last week's controversial Red Velvets and stumble into some very misguided X-Files analogies. Oh yeah, Special Guest swings by again and shares a Pop-Tart related news story... Can they still smell the Pop-Tarts in Pennsylvania?
