"Inside there are three pouches of two. This is what happens to me: I open the first pouch, and I eat one tart, and I enjoy it very much, as naturally I would. And then I feel, Well, I have to eat the second one or it will go stale. Well, now I’ve eaten two, and it’s no longer just a snack, it’s a meal. I figure I may as well eat two more. And then finally I’m just like, Well hell, I don’t just want two pop tarts hangin’ out in a box. I eat the last two just to tidy up, really." — Paula Poundstone, in her 1990 special Cats, Cops, and Stuff

Love it! That is one of my favorite parts from one of my favorite comedy specials ever. Thank you for bringing it up.
I think about that quote ALL the time. That comedy special never ceases to make me laugh. I also enjoy rain and romance in San Francisco- “it starts out romantic, you break up a chair for a fire, open a bottle of wine. Two weeks later you’re an alcoholic with no furniture.”
I guy told me he likes to eat the chocolate flavor chocolate frosted pop tarts he says he heats them up breaks them up into a bowl pours milk over them and them I said well you might as well cook anyone know what she says sounds like funky to me
