These Patriotic New Pop-Tarts Are Red, White, and Blue (But Mostly Red)

Do you like soccer and snacks? Well, it’s a big day for you, my man. Kellanova is the official snack sponsor of the U.S. Soccer Federation and to celebrate the World Cup (which is coming up in June), they’re releasing a whole slew of new products. Ole, am I right? You can look forward to Cheez-Its that taste like chili dogs and Pringles that taste like loaded nachos, but arguably the most eye-popping new drop is Star-Spangled Blueberry Pop-Tarts.

What makes Star-Spangled Blueberry Pop-Tarts different from regular Blueberry Pop-Tarts?

The Blueberry Pop-Tarts you know and love are topped with a smear of white icing and dotted with multi-colored sprinkles. The pastry is, you know, pastry-colored. That’s where these new Pop-Tarts differ. The pastry is RED. Like, bright red, according to the imagery that’s been released. And the sprinkles are only blue and red. Breakfast has never been quite so patriotic. Or has it… 

If these “new” Pop-Tarts look familiar to you, you’re onto something…

Think alllll the way back to 2019 and you might remember Red, White & Blueberry Pop-Tarts, which were also made with red pastry, red and blue sprinkles, and blueberry filling. And before that, back in 2013, there were Red, White & Berry Pop-Tarts, which also had red pastry and blue and red sprinkles. So, yeah, Pop-Tarts is going back to the well with this one, but the good news is: They taste good. 

When food blogger Cereously covered the Red, White & Blueberry Pop-Tarts in 2019, they said, “By far the worst and best thing about Red, White & Blueberry Pop-Tarts is their appearance.” Red Pop-Tarts aren’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it sounds like you can rest assured that these taste like regular ol’ Frosted Blueberry Pop-Tarts, the second best Pop-Tarts flavor, according to the Sporked team. There are A LOT of flavors, so second place is pretty elite.

If you’re in the “redder the better” camp, the limited edition Star-Spangled Blueberry Pop-Tarts will be heading to stores in May, so keep an eye out. They’ll be hard to miss.
