How Often Do Americans Eat Pop-Tarts?

Before we get into the state-by-state data, a few additional facts: Most of us aren’t eating Pop-Tarts that often. According to the survey, 60% of Americans rarely eat them, 25% eat them a few times a month, 7% eat them once a week, 6% a few times a week, and 2% daily.

1. Frosted Strawberry

• California

• Connecticut

• Florida

• Georgia

• Iowa

• Louisiana

• Michigan

• Mississippi

• New York

• North Dakota

• South Carolina

• Tennessee

• Utah

Frosted strawberry landed in the No. 2 spot when I ranked Pop-Tarts flavors, but in the hearts and stomachs of America, it’s No. 1. As potentially the most approachable flavor, this makes sense to me.

2. Frosted S’mores

• Delaware

• Illinois

• Indiana

• Nevada

• New Jersey

• New Mexico

• Ohio

• Oregon

• Virginia

The sweet tooth is real. I’ll never understand how people can crank something this sweet early in the morning, but I do respect it.

3. Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon

• Arizona

• Kentucky

• Massachusetts

• Minnesota

• Missouri

• Nebraska

• North Carolina

• Oklahoma

• Wisconsin

As the best flavor in my opinion, I’m surprised to see it as the third most popular choice. I live in North Carolina, so I assume most of those purchases are from me.

4. Frosted Cherry

• Alaska

• Maryland

• Pennsylvania

• Texas

Only four states love Cherry the most, and that means there are 46 states missing out. Cherry is a good one.

5. Frosted Blueberry

• Colorado

• New Hampshire

• Wyoming

A toasted Frosted Blueberry Pop-Tart isn’t far off from a hot blueberry muffin, which means Colorado, New Hampshire, and Wyoming know exactly how to kick off a beautiful morning.

6. Frosted Hot Fudge Sundae

• Alabama

• Kansas

• Vermont

I’ve never tasted this flavor, but just like S’mores, it’s quite a decadent way to start your day. Unless Alabama, Kansas, and Vermont are eating these for dessert, we are not on the same page at all.

7. Frosted Chocolatey Churro

• Rhode Island

These seem to be discontinued, which is a shame because I’d love to try them. C’mon, Pop-Tarts, don’t do this to Rhode Island.

8. Wild Berry

• Maine

Maine stands alone in its love of Wild Berry, and that’s a bummer. Wild Berry is a top five flavor, according to a certain genius (me). Oh well. More for Maine.

9. Unfrosted Blueberry

• South Dakota

There is no conceivable reason to eat an unfrosted Pop-Tart, let alone a blueberry one. Is everything okay in South Dakota? Did you know there are other flavors, too?

10. Frosted Raspberry

• Hawaii 

Raspberry is a pretty decent flavor. Not sure why the folks in Hawaii are the only ones who know that.

11. Frosted Cookies & Crème

• Idaho

Though Cookies & Crème isn’t my favorite Tarts flavor, I do feel pride for Idaho’s let’s-have-Oreos-for-breakfast vibes. 

12. Frosted Apple Cinnamon

• West Virginia

How is a flavor that’s barely different from Brown Sugar Cinnamon only popular in one state? I bet the rest of the country is just too afraid to try it. Scaredy-cats.

13. Frosted Chocolate Fudge

• Arkansas

This thing is so chocolatey that you could serve it in a restaurant as the most decadent dessert on the menu. Arkansas, are you firing this thing up at 7 a.m.?

14. Frosted Chocolate Strawberry

• Montana

Here’s another flavor I didn’t know existed. It seems to be discontinued, but as a lover of chocolate and red fruit, I’d like to try this immediately.
