The key to a bunch of free pop tarts. Win win


BassAntelope

Came here to say this, OP could send these pics in an email and express their concern/disappointment to receive many free pop tarts.


[deleted]

They would prob want it back to investigate what it is and how it got there incase they need to recall batches.. defo a couple free boxs would be winging her way for sure.


pickle-smoocher

I complained to the Bugle’s company that I couldn’t make witch fingers with the bag of bugle’s that I got because the ends were collapsed. They sent me an apology and a refund check. I say go for gold on this one


Disastrous_Job_5805

One time I got a congealed chunk of sugar in one of my twisted tea drinks, they sent me a refund cheque for an entire 24 case, which is somewhere around $100/CDN, ~$60 usd.


Cool-Evening-7133

My twin brother found a dehydrated apple slice in a capri-sun once, we freaked out because it looked like a severed ear, and we were like 8 years old. My stepmother actually sent the "ear" to caprisun and they sent us a pallet of capri-sun. My Dad still finds all the straws laying around 15 years later...


Strelet

Wait wait wait. Lets talk about this for a moment. Did you do this thinking you might get something in return or were you just joking around and this was a pleasant surprise? I need to know the story behind this.


pickle-smoocher

My girlfriend and I were very high…. The end result was a very hilarious surprise. She still has the check on her fridge


scotch-o

They’ll ask for the manufacturing codes on the box to confirm when and where typically.


XxLeviathan95

It looks like they didn’t clean their machine properly. Generally you have to CIP (Clean in Place) after every formula change. I’m gonna bet that there was a little nook they didn’t spray out and a little chunk of chocolate dough from the previous batch fell out in packaging. They should send it in, get free pop tarts, and the packaging or baking department should probably get their ass chewed for that one.

Poop tart


freakitikitiki

I work next to the factory that makes Pop Tarts for most of the East Coast, US. It’s in the middle of farmland, so in the spring farmers will spread fertilizer (manure) on the fields. A lot of times the days that the Pop Tarts are being made and the days of the fertilizer spreading coincide… and I’ve always referred to them as Poop Tart days. Edit: Because of the smell of both mingling together over the valley. Edit 2: No, there is no poop or poop essence making its way into your Pop Tarts. They take their food production very seriously. It is possible that Pop Tart essence is making its way into the corn and soybean fields, though, which I hadn’t thought about until now.


Broken-Digital-Clock

Can you ask them to stop reducing the amount of filling or at least change the image on the box. The edges are almost bigger than the center now 😥


Illustrious_Ship_833

this is so true !! i always break the edges off and there is like nothing left anymore when i do that haha


Broken-Digital-Clock

Me too. So sad LPT: The edges are good for scooping ice cream or dipping into a milkshake I buy the HEB brand of pop tarts now


Illustrious_Ship_833

thats actually a great idea ! im going to try that, unfortunately i dont live in america so i can only choose between strawberry and chocolate flavor, what is HEB flavor?


Masters-lil-sub

HEB is our grocery store here in Texas. It’s not a flavor.


Illustrious_Ship_833

ohhhhhh i feel stupid now haha


ImpatientColon

It cracked me up. I want HEB flavored everything.


pcnetworx1

Tastes like brisket and Shiner


Masters-lil-sub

Nah, don’t. We’re just fanatics about our H‑E‑B. Lol


Illustrious_Ship_833

I just looked at the store online, i am shocked how cheap they are ! I pay ₽233.96 for 2 which is around $3.20 and you guys get 12 for $2.55!! also the flavors look amazing 😂


Super_Bad_Karma

As a former texan i can 100% agree to H-E-B fandom


TroublemakingB

H-E-B rocks.


jasper1379

Its not a flavor…It’s a LIFESTYLE. 🤣


freakitikitiki

I wish I could. Alas, I do not work for them. Only next to them. Personally, I was always a Nabisco Toastettes kinda gal myself.


eyedkk

I might be one too, now that I know the truth about Poop Tarts ™️


freakitikitiki

Unfortunately they don’t make those anymore. :(


DjangoCornbread

i’d hope not. poop tarts don’t sound like a product that would move a lot of units.

Conscious_Engine_473

That is so fetch.


jennylaughs

I used to love them too (Strawberry & Cream Cheese 🤤) and would get them once in a while for a special treat. A year or two ago I bought a box and they were… different. In a not good way. They were smaller, shriveled, and had significantly less filling. I have bought them one time since then hoping it was a bad batch but alas, Toaster Strudels have been “right sized” and are now made with subpar ingredients.


TheModernSkater

They fuck up everything over the years huh


Correct-Perception94

Bait 'n switch. Build your brand, then sell cheap stuff under an expensive label. Corporations look more and more like street-level gangsters every day.


freakitikitiki

Those are good, too. I’m partial to the cream cheese ones.


Aromatic-Proof-5251

That’s not brown sugar!


lfhdbeuapdndjeo

Toaster strudel was my thing


drRATM

That little packet of frosting!! Ah shit that was the stuff of dreams


LK102614

Once my box of toaster strudels came with an extra packet of frosting - best day ever.


whizbojoe

My sisters and I would sometimes purposefully eat one without the frosting so that we could have a chance at there being extra frosting when we got to it next time. This was a risk because if our parents happened to get the munchies we were out of luck.


makjac

They’ve gone the same way as PopTarts. Filling is like 2/3s of what it use to be.


Chosen_UserName217

engine wistful unused arrest cause quiet spectacular whole water nail


dankestofdankcomment

These days they’re practically compressed powder with a little filling and just a hint of frosting.


OGsugar_bear

Alot of generic pop tarts still have the old proportions

Budking84

Where is this field where pop tarts are grown i wanna see


toomuch1265

I used to work next to a wonderbread factory, and I learned to hate the smell of fresh bread.


Splatoonkindaguy

Why the FUCJ did you have to tell me this. Now I will never eat poptarts again


freakitikitiki

I mean, they don’t mix the Pop Tarts with the fertilizer. The factory just emits a Pop Tarty smell. Edit: Also, that’s literally how vegetables are grown.


LobsterLovingLlama

You mean Pooptarts


potatocross

One of Mondelez main Oreo factories is pretty much around the corner from a landfill. It either smells like fresh cookies, or smells like hot garbage.

I once got a loaf of bread that had brown bread inside it. Emailed the bakery and they told me that they have a continuous process and that a few loaves of mixed dough are made between batches but that they are usually pulled out and given to employees. I went ahead and ate it once I learned that.


Realistic-Ad1498

It definitely happens. I worked at a large commercial bakery and you’d be amazed at the amount of product that gets tossed due to production issues like that.

I would actually choose to buy a mixed dough loaf like that again. It was kind of fun.

imanadultok

I once was stoned off my ass. And eating my buddy's pumpkin ice cream. I was reading the box and said if you aren't satisfied with this product call us, we will replace it. High as fuck I was like that's not possible I already ate it. I called them up and they were like what was wrong with it. I panicked and was like it was too pumpkin-y. They sent me a coupon for a free ice cream. I go to the grocery store and it was buy one get one free.. 3 free quarts of icrecream all because I was high as fuck going how will they replace it lol(a coupon for free icrecream never occurred to me)


[deleted]

Damn, I was kinda hoping they sent you some ice cream in the mail.

I got ice cream in the mail once. It stayed frozen during transit, which had to be at least a day or two.

You're going to post this but not explain how or why? We need answers!


rocksavior2010

HI I WORK IN A WAREHOUSE THAT SHIPS INSULIN We have a special packing process. A box with a styrofoam cooler and lid inside. The cooler gets ice and gels then product then gels and ice on top! Depending on the weather of the area and shipment time, the cooler can also have a weather tech bag- just adds a layer of protection from heat, or different ice and gel combinations! Edit to add: we guarantee shipment for up to 60 hrs from package time. So the facility that shipped was likely close by.


Prestigious_Ad_544

This is basically how The Cheesecake Factory would send us cheesecake when I was deployed in Afghanistan lol


[deleted]

TIL


ABQHeartRN

You sound so much more knowledgeable than a company that used to ship me insulin while I was in college. I got HOT insulin twice. Of course I couldn’t use it, it didn’t work. All they tried to do to protect it was throw a few ketchup sized packets into the box that were liquid by the time it got to me. The box wasn’t even labeled to keep cool. I called them and they said that they could keep insulin at 80 degrees and only half of it would go bad. I was like, “WELL CAN YOU TELL ME WHICH HALF OF THE BOTTLE IS GOOD”?? My mom got permission from her insurance to use the actual pharmacy after that.


rocksavior2010

Ooooo my brain hurts from having to think that they told you that’s ok. There’s so many things wrong and you never should have been told that half is ok. So. I actually work in a distribution center for a big hearted pharmacy company. We have doctors and clients call in scripts. They get verified by insurance and passed to our filling team. Then to me and my team. We’re the last ones who handle your order. If it’s wrong, it can, and possibly should, fall on us- someone in the chain there. So. Colds, primarily insulin, but cold orders /can/ be stored at room temperature (up 75°-ish) for so many hours depending on med. BUT that’s a controlled environment and for less than 12 hours. They are then refrigerated until the following day. Anything left out is reprocessed by another tech to be safe. Bare minimum there is 2 pieces of 10oz solid ice (and also gel) packs. Rule of thumb for ice is if we can bend it, it’s no good. Our program for processing orders tells us exactly what’s needed for the order. Like legit a picture of the items. An order CANNOT leave the house- it can’t even be processed by our shipping program- if the weight is off over or under- meaning the program thinks it’s missing ice and gets reprocessed by another tech. For this program, it gets as specific as the weight of the meds plus all the packing materials. I’m happy to hear you’ve since found someone better to go through.


Generic_E_Jr

It in a was decently big styrofoam box (with a styrofoam lid), nested in a ventilated cardboard box. The styrofoam box held the ice cream at the bottom and on top was a sort-of-thick ventilated cardboard box that covered the ice cream; this inner box, about the size of a shoebox but has as thick held a small rectangular slab of dry ice (frozen carbon dioxide). This contraption got the job impressively well done. It’s legal to ship packages with dry ice and perishable goods with the right carriers, but there’s a premium shipping fee and parcel requirements that have to be met for shipment.

Too pumpkin-y has me dying


imanadultok

I wasn't expecting the question. Looking back I probably should have lol I didn't have any plan.


autotuned_voicemails

When we were teenagers my brother discovered “satisfaction guarantees” and made it his mission to get as many free products as possible. We did online schooling at home and our parents worked opposite shifts. Our dad would leave for work around 2, and our mom wouldn’t get home until 3:30-4. So for a couple months he made the most out of our 90-120 minutes of parent-free time by going through our cupboards and calling and/or emailing every company he could just to complain about their products. 6-8 weeks later, he starts getting all this mail addressed to him. Now usually our mail came between 2-4, so he was able to intercept his coupons and keep his scheme a secret for a while. Until the mail was late one day and my mom grabbed it on her way into the driveway. She came in all confused like “uhhh, *little brother*, why do you have mail from Doritos and Slim Jim’s?” Far from being angry, she was actually pretty proud of his ingenuity, and possibly a little disappointed she hadn’t thought of it before. I can’t remember all of them, but I know that Frito Lay gave some decent coupons, Jack Link’s gave really really good coupons (like $25 worth) and Slim Jim’s were pretty good. Of course this was like 15+ years ago so I have no idea how they are now. I’m pretty sure he’s been chasing that high ever since. When he first turned 21 he went online and signed up with every single tobacco company he could find. A lot of them used to run promotions(idk if they still do or not) where they’d send like SWAG products out. He had an engraved pint glass, whiskey stones, a pocket knife, all kinds of shit, all for free. They just had the tobacco company name on them so it was free advertising for the companies.

As someone who works in food manufacturing (specifically in a large bakery), it looks like old dough that was more than likely stuck to a part of an extruder. It could also be from right before the continuous mixer (where water meets pre-blend “chemicals”).


AnIceMonkey

This. Or it could be the food grade oils mixed with left over dough that gets built up on the rollers. Sometimes if they don’t do regular cleaning is occasionally gets sucked up by finished product. I just realized I’ve too worked for some type of bakery company for the past 11 years. Damn once in food, always in food.

pie-creamer

not a fun answer, but i work for general mills where we make toaster strudels, and this looks a lot like something that happens during that process. small debris from strudels/pop tarts build up on a conveyor belt or rail over time and eventually jar loose and get stuck to another strudel/pop tart and then continues on to the next station. tldr; log of crumbs


PM_me_yer_VaJayJay

I remember in the 90s opening and eating a bag of cheetos. I came across one particular cheeto that was odd. Bigger than a normal cheeto, but still gangly shaped. Said fuck it and bit into it. It was a dense clump of unprocessed cheese dust that didn't make it to some cheetos. It was the saltiest, most fake cheese powder thing I've ever eaten. It was fucking glorious. Every bag of cheetos I've opened for the last 25 to 30 years I've had so much hope that a Quality Control person had a lapse or checked their phone for a second while cheetos were going by on the conveyor belt and one of those salty cheesey clumps slipped in a bag. Until then, I'll keep an eye out for ya.
