At the time, old school incandescent bulbs were being phased out by government regulations, and companies were looking for more efficient substitutes. The two big contenders at the time were compact fluorescent lights (CFLs) and light emitting diode…
I ate a lot of Pop-Tarts as a kid. A lot. No, they’re not that good for you. Yes, they taste great. You’ve got a tasty filling inside of a flaky pastry, and usually some frosting on top for good measure. Plus, they’re easy. Just open up the foil packaging, and either heat them or…

Sometimes you don’t have time for breakfast. Not even a simple bowl of cereal. That’s why it’s helpful to keep some convenience foods in the pantry for days when you’re in a hurry. Pop Tarts can fit the bill, but they’re high in sugar and calories, not very filling, and generally not good for you….
