Maybe they aren’t the breakfast of champions, but nonetheless, Pop-Tarts have worked their way into everyone’s hearts as a timeless favorite to kick off the morning.

With their countless flavors ranging from the classic Brown Sugar Cinnamon to the extravagant Chocolate Fudge Sundae, it’s hard to not find at least one that is appealing—and even harder to eat just one pastry.

On April 8, students at the University of Maryland had the pleasure of Popping the Vote outside of McKeldin Library: a taste test of 22 different Pop-Tart flavors.

Between the hours of 12 and 4, hungry students lined up to choose flavors in one of four “parties”: fruity, nutty, chocolatey and baked goods. From there, testers were asked to vote on whether or not they liked the flavor by placing a sticker next to the flavor under the Yummy or Yuck columns.

Amongst the impressive collection of flavors were the classics such as Frosted Strawberry, Frosted Blueberry, Cherry and Brown Sugar Cinnamon but also more obscure flavors like Watermelon, Blue Raspberry, Confetti Cupcake, Cookies and Creme, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Red Velvet and Cinnamon Roll.

Not surprisingly (because really, what Pop-Tarts’ flavor doesn’t satisfy?) all the flavors up-votes greatly outweighed the down, indicating a positive reception of the delicious abundance of breakfast pastries.
