Mom slams Pop-Tarts for not resolving VERY obvious issue with its packaging
A disgruntled mom did not hold back as she slammed Pop-Tarts for their inefficient labeling on their packaging.
The frustrated woman, only known as Sapphyre online, took to TikTok to call out the brand for not labeling the flavor of the snack on each individual packet.
'Guys, Pop-Tarts, this is for you. If you're not Pop-Tarts you can scroll.
'It is 2025. Is it too much to ask that Pop-Tarts be labeled on the outside what freaking flavor they are?' she scathed in the 24-second video.
'So when you have two different kids who like two different flavors, you don't have to label them so they don't open the wrong one and then leave it to get stale?'
As she spoke, the mom was labeling the individually wrapped packs manually with a marker.
And her clip seemed to resonate with other parents - who rushed to the comments with advice.
'It's printed under the flap on the other side. Sometimes it gets cut off but it's there,' they wrote.
However, some commenters bashed the mom for not keeping the treats in their original boxes.
'If only they came in a box that labeled them,' someone said.
'That's why you leave them in the original box. Like how hard is that???' another wrote.
The mom responded to a comment about keeping them in their boxes.
'We have a big snack box that holds all our things like this (like the Nutrigrain bars/little Debbie's/etc)so my kids can easily access it all, instead of cluttering the counter area with all the boxes,' she explained.
Though some people disagreed with the mom's method, many users could relate to her complaint and shared their own experiences.
'I agree! Or be in a more protective bag so they don't crumble if they're not in the box!' a user explained.
'The off-brand ones label their wrappers. Pop-Tarts should catch up,' a person urged.

'I LOATHE that Pop-Tarts do not come labeled individually. We have all been in a serious relationship with Pop-Tarts they owe us this one thing,' someone admitted.
Others chimed in with more frustrating grocery issues.
'While we're at it can we please put bacon in a resealable package,' someone said.
'Kind of why does cereal not have like a zipper lock,' a person wrote.
Another said about Pop-Tarts: 'It's 2025 they need to put the icing all the way to [the] edges!!'
A spokesperson for Pop-Tarts responded to DailyMail.com's request for comment: 'We are continually evaluating our packaging graphics for our Pop-Tarts...
'Our intention was never for our packaging graphics to cause concern, and we are sorry that it did.'

‘Edgers' are the cheeky commuters invading the National Rail network
It's early, and you're standing on the platform regretting not working from home. When the train finally arrives it's rammed. You squeeze on and quickly scan the seats and all are full – except for one. There's a free space by the window. But someone's already sitting in the aisle seat, avoiding eye contact at all costs. You're left with an awkward decision, do you ask them to budge up? Or do you just accept defeat and stand up for the next 30 minutes? So common is this conundrum, that these commuter criminals now have a name: the edgers. Relax, it's not what you think. It's a perfectly innocent term coined by Metro to describe the people who deliberately sit in the aisle seat and leave the window seat empty, even as the train or bus starts to fill up. And it's been annoying people for years. 'There seems to be an epidemic of people choosing to sit on the aisle side of a bus or train leaving the window seat free. Is it just me or is this quite a weird thing to do?' one user asked on Mumsnet back in 2018. 'They probably think that people are less likely to sit next to them but once the bus/ train fills up all the seats fill up so people have to squeeze past them to get on.' TikTok user @hanasimpson95 brought the debate to the platform recently. She asked her followers: 'Genuine question (no hate): Those of you who sit in the aisle seat on a full bus/ train and leave the window seat open. Why?' Some commuters had their reasons. 'I hate the feeling of being boxed in. If I see someone eyeing the other spot, I'll gladly move aside and let them get to it, but I won't personally go sit there,' one wrote. @hanasimpson95 A genuine thought that pops into my head most days. The bus is full, yet there is a space that I can sit in but I need to awkwardly ask you to move so I can use it. Help me understand. I'm socially awkward. #fyp #foryou #bus #help #question ♬ DtMF – Bad Bunny Others were far less thoughtful. 'Don't like people sitting beside me, it's a subtle deterrence,' one wrote. Another added: 'I am selfish and hoping if it's getting full they'll sit next to someone else first.' At least they're honest, hey? But plenty of commenters weren't having it. User @yesanastasia wrote: 'So many people think they're the only people who like their personal space. No one likes it but public transport is a shared space, so sometimes you just have to share.' Another @forgetful_lucy wrote: 'I totally understand people have their reasons but at the same time if a bus is full and there are NO other seats why can't people just move it's so selfish to make ppl stand for a bit of extra space.' Meanwhile @elizabeth__c_ said: 'If I'm only going a couple stops I'll do this. But not for a long journey. I never understood it either.' There are plenty of irritating commuter types who make the journey from bed to desk more excruciating. We've already told you about double-baggers, who take one seat for themselves and another for their bag, and barebackers, who endure the commute without Airpods or any other form of entertainment. Not to mention ' bare beaters ' – the infuriating passengers who watch videos or listen to music from their phones without any headphones. When will the general public learn? So, how can you deal with an edger? Generally, the most polite thing to do if you encounter a seat edger is ask them to move up. Try asking directly but nicely. Most people will shift over without a fuss, even if they're secretly annoyed. If you don't fancy your chances, you can either find another seat or just let it go. But try not to get sucked into passive aggressive staring matches – no one wins, and it will probably set you off for a bad day. And, if you are the edger? Unless you're getting off at the next stop, or have a genuine reason to sit in the aisle seat, maybe consider scooching up. Or at the very least, look up and acknowledge the poor person standing next to you, desperate to sit down. You might like your space, but so does everybody else. And we're all stuck on the crowded commute together. Do you have a story to share?

People struggle to work out 'closest time to midnight' in 'confusing' riddle
This riddle might seem simple at first, but it's proved it's not as easy as you'd think. This kids' homework question has stumped adults as they try to work out the closest time to midnight A kids' homework question has left adults seriously baffled as they try to work out the closest time to midnight out of four options. Although most people will have gone to school and done similar riddles, it can be hard to make your brain work in the same way it used to do. Mortgage brokers Crawford Mulholland recently took to TikTok to ask people to work out the "closest time to midnight", and it's clear many found it confusing. The possible answers given were: A) 11.55am, B) 12.06am C) 11.50am and D) 12.03am. Sharing an image of the puzzle, which was apparently meant for children, one employee collected answers from people. Many people confidently picked D, 12.03am, but others said they were confused because of the wording of the question. It's asking for the closest "to" midnight. One man said: "Why is this confusing? I thought it was going to be way too easy." A huge debate ensued in the comments section, where there were a lot of varying answers. One person said: "Has to be B," while someone else wrote: "It's C." "It's B. Obvious," said another. "11 .55am is closest TO midnight...," said one person. Another wrote: "It's A, the question is what is the closest TO midnight not FROM midnight." Another answered: "A. The others are 23 hours away from midnight time doesn't go backwards." Explaining how they worked it one, one person on Reddit shared: "Just to be contrarian, I will say A. Unless you have a time machine. A is 12 hours 5 minutes from midnight. B is 23 hours 54 minutes from midnight. C is 12 hours 10 minutes from midnight. D is 23 hours 57 minutes from midnight." However, others argued the wording of the question could be interpreted in different ways. One person said: "'Closest to' does not have to be interpreted as the arrow of time. You could interpret it that way, but you could also interpret as most of the people in this sub do: absolute difference." According to Mind Your Decisions: "Answer choices C and A are 10 and 5 minutes before 12 noon, so they are about 12 hours away from midnight. On the other hand, answer choices D and B are 3 and 6 minutes after midnight. One could say they are just minutes away from midnight, or one might say they are nearly 24 hours away to the next midnight. "But the question does not specify time to the next midnight. It only states which time is closest to midnight, so that could mean time before or after midnight. Therefore answer choices D and B are more appropriate choices to be closer to midnight. Of these, answer choice D is only 3 minutes after midnight and that is closer than B which is 6 minutes. Therefore the correct answer is D. 12:03 a.m."

'Old coins' you could have at home worth over £100,000
One of these coins is still in circulation, while the others could be hiding in coin jars at home An expert has urged people to look out for three 'old coins' you could have at home that are highly sought after by collectors. Combined, these coins could be worth more than £100,000, and one is potentially still in circulation. Speaking in a video uploaded to social media platform TikTok, a coin aficionado known as the Coin Collecting Wizard detailed exactly what to look for in order to spot these pieces. The first coin he listed is dated 1905, making it unlikely to be in your wallet at the moment. However, it could be buried in an old coin jar or up in the attic. The expert said: 'Random old coins that will make you rich. The 1905 half crown from the UK.' This coin is made of silver and features a shield on its reverse side (the tails side). On its other side is the image of Edward VII. It is particularly valuable due to the fact that it is so rare. He continued: 'With only 166,008 ever made you can easily grab between £450 and £10,000, depending on the condition.' Next, he alerted viewers to the most valuable coin of all - the 1933 penny. It is thought only six or seven of these were ever minted. This is because, at the time, no new pennies were actually needed that year. This coin depicts an image of Britannia on its reverse and George V on its obverse. He said: 'The rarity of the 1933 UK penny makes it highly sought after by collectors and its scarcity contributes significantly to its market value.' This could be worth £100,000 if found. 'If you happen to have a 1933 UK penny in your possession, then you are 100 per cent rich and can easily sell this coin for over £100,000,' he said. Finally, he described a more modern coin that can still be used as legal tender. This ordinary-looking 2p coin features the words 'new pence' instead of 'two pence.' However, it has to be from 1983 to be especially valuable. The expert added: 'The 1983 'new pence' two pence coin from the United Kingdom is considered rare due to a specific transition in the design of the coin. In 1983 the Royal Mint in the UK began the process of changing the inscription on the two-pence coin from 'new pence' to 'two pence'. If you find this rare coin, you are looking at £1,000 plus.'
