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.'

British couple try Chinese takeaway in America and spot one big difference
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A British couple, James and Siana, recently tried Chinese takeaway in America for the first time and noticed a significant difference. In the UK, ordering 'a Chinese' is a beloved tradition, with favourites such as egg fried rice, chow mein, and sweet and sour chicken. Chinese takeaways are dotted all over the UK and are a popular choice for relaxed get-togethers with family or friends. For some families, getting a Chinese takeaway for dinner is a treat, while for others it's a convenient option when they don't feel like cooking. Americans also enjoy Chinese takeaways, and this British couple decided to document their experience of trying one in the US on TikTok. James mentioned that a Chinese takeaway "is normally very good in Britain", so they were "intrigued" to see how it compares in the US. Siana started by opening a "stunning" container of broccoli beef, noting that it "actually smells really good," reports the Mirror. Next up was orange chicken. James confessed that he had never tried this dish before in the UK, and Siana admitted she hadn't heard of it either but knew it's a "big thing" in the US. Upon opening the container, James took a whiff of the chicken and exclaimed: "Oh it smells amazing." Siana excitedly chimed in: "Ooh yum, that smells like sweet and sour chicken." They also ordered some chicken fried rice. The next dish left them puzzled. They explained that the item was labelled as egg rolls, but the couple thought they looked more like spring rolls. In their exploration of different Chinese takeaway options between the US and the UK, Siana questioned whether 'egg rolls' were simply a stateside term for 'spring rolls', imploring her viewers to weigh in. She also pointed out one key item missing from American Chinese takeaways: "The one thing that we're missing is prawn crackers." James chimed in, remarking on how they didn't receive the customary prawn crackers but instead got complimentary white rice: "They usually just put them in for free but it seems like they've just added some white rice for free. Maybe that's something they do here instead." Despite the lack of prawn crackers, they were pleased to find fortune cookies included. Tasting the egg rolls, Siana immediately noted their resemblance to chunkier spring rolls: "That's a spring roll but thicker." She expressed enjoyment at the heartiness of the roll, finding it "actually really nice." When they delved into the orange chicken, James declared it "really good" with both agreeing it bore a similarity to the sweet and sour chicken back home in UK takeaways. Their verdict on the broccoli beef was less enthusiastic, branding it "average" and somewhat uninspired in flavour. Siana however found its subtlety ="still quite nice." Digging into the chicken fried rice, the pair were unanimous in their approval, with Siana commenting it was "just your typical fried rice" and akin to that served in the UK. To clear up confusion over egg rolls versus spring rolls, The Food Network has differentiated the two on its website, noting that egg rolls are an American invention, while spring rolls have their origins in China. Egg rolls are known for their thicker skin, utilising a "wonton or thick, yeast dough wrapper", in contrast to spring rolls which boast a "more delicate, thin skin and use a spring roll wrapper." When it comes to what's inside, egg rolls are usually packed with "typically contain cabbage and meat", whereas spring rolls tend to be "traditionally vegetarian or vegan", although there are versions that feature meat or seafood.

Two-second trick can show if soy sauce is high quality or not
A cook has shared a simple trick that will tell you if a bottle of soy sauce is of good quality or not – and you don't even need to open it to find out Soy sauce is a staple in many of our kitchens. Its complex, umami-rich profile makes it a staple in various cuisines, especially in East and Southeast Asia. The food product comes in countless different varieties – so which one should you pick up next time you're at the supermarket. To assist, a cook named Paul has revealed his straightforward trick. On TikTok, he shared: "Quick hack to tell if soy sauce is actually good before you even buy it. I discovered this trick while researching how soy sauce is actually produced - and it's surprisingly simple. "Just shake the bottle. If bubbles form and linger, that's a positive sign. It indicates more soy beans and excellent fermentation. No foam, that usually means shortcuts." Paul also elaborated in the video's caption, writing: "Cheaper sauces usually watered down and rushed - seen by bubbles that disappear quickly. Good cooking starts with good ingredients." People were very appreciative of the advice and left their thoughts in the comments section. One wrote: "Love this. I've wondered about this for so long." Another shared their own tip, writing: "If you can't pronounce the name of the brand, or if the text on the package is written in more Chinese than English, it's going to be good." Meanwhile, a third added: "Look at the ingredients list. It should preferably only contain soybeans, wheat, water, salt. Sometimes potassium sorbate. Absolutely no caramel colouring and no taste enhancers." More ways to check soy sauce quality 1. Check the ingredients High-quality soy sauce should contain minimal ingredients. These are typically water, soybeans (or soy concentrate), wheat, and salt. Lower quality products may include added sugars, artificial preservatives, flavour enhancers (like MSG), or caramel colour. Avoid soy sauce labeled as 'hydrolysed vegetable protein' or 'chemical soy sauce,' which is typically cheaper and made artificially. 2. Fermentation process High-quality soy sauce is made through traditional fermentation, often over several months to years. This process gives the sauce a deep, complex flavour. Low-quality soy sauces are chemically manufactured, which speeds up production at the cost of flavour. Look for the words naturally brewed or traditionally brewed on the label. 3. Look at the colour and texture Good soy sauce should have a translucent, rich, brownish-red hue and a thin, slightly syrupy texture. It shouldn't be overly dark or watery. 4. Smell it Finally, don't forget the scent of the product. Authentic soy sauce has a balanced, complex aroma that is slightly sweet, malty, and savoury. However, lower quality options may smell overly salty, sharp, or artificial due to additives or chemically-produced ingredients.

Pregnant mum-of-4 trolled for being ‘lazy' as she shows the state of her council house first thing in the morning
A PREGNANT mum-of-four has been labelled "lazy" after sharing a look inside her council house kitchen first thing in the morning. Nicole Austin is no stranger to causing a stir on social media, particularly when she posts videos showing just how messy her house actually is. 4 4 4 And one accusation she regularly hears is that she's lazy - a description she found herself attracting once again after explaining why she and her husband leave their dinner washing up until the morning. "Sometimes I'm just too tired to do the evening washing up after dinner," Nicole said in a video on her TikTok page. "And in our household that's okay! "Rest is way more important to us than doing some dishes. "And that's how it should be." Nicole added that because she's a "morning girl", she's always "bursting with energy" as soon as she gets up. "So at 6am, 7am, whenever we get up, we come downstairs and we clean everywhere," she continued. "This is 90% of the time before the kids are even up. "So the kids don't even know the difference before anyone comes at me for that." Nicole predicted some of the responses she was going to receive, as she said she's even "waiting for the threats of social services". My council house always looks dirty despite endless scrubbing - it's all broken or hanging off hinges & I can't fix it "But come on, if you're that exhausted, why are you pushing yourself to do some dishes that can easily be done a few hours later after you've got some sleep?" she said. "Putting rubbish away, taking bins out and things like that. "I do understand. But some dishes? No." When it comes to her own priorities, Nicole insisted she "prioritises my peace". "I learnt this because I used to burn myself out all the time," she said. "Now I prioritise my peace. And sometimes that does mean going to bed and getting that extra hour sleep. The household items you're not cleaning often enough IF you want to ensure your home is squeaky clean, you'll need to listen up. Below are the household items you're forgetting to clean, and how to get them sparkling... Remote Controls: Wipe with a disinfectant cloth. Use a cotton bud for crevices. Light Switches: Wipe with a disinfectant wipe. Use a mild soap solution for tough stains. Door Handles: Clean with an antibacterial spray. Wipe down regularly. Underneath and Behind Appliances: Vacuum or sweep regularly. Mop with a suitable cleaner. Shower Curtains and Liners: Wash in the washing machine. Use a bleach solution for stubborn mildew. Kitchen Sponges and Dishcloths: Microwave damp sponges for one minute. Wash dishcloths in the washing machine. Computer Keyboards and Mice: Use compressed air to remove debris. Wipe with a disinfectant wipe. "And I'll never feel guilty for that!" "Do you do your kitchen clean up at night or first thing?" Nicole asked in her video caption. "Or whenever you feel like it? BIG controversy!" As Nicole predicted, people slammed her in the comments section, with many having some choice names for her. "Lazy lazy lazy people," one raged. "This is what's wrong with GB these days. Self diagnosed scroungers!" "Don't matter how tired I am, having a clean home for my children to wake up to in the morning is a priority, even when I was heavily pregnant," another said. "You also have a man tell him to pull his weight instead of leaving it to you - it's just pure lazy." "Nope, I cant... it leaves smells in the house. and coming down to the smell of last nights dinner makes me feel sick," someone else said. "I couldn't sleep knowing there's a mess waiting for me - I would be an overwhelmed mess in the morning," another insisted. However, others defended Nicole, with some agreeing with her that it's more important to put self care first. "I don't get the comments on here," one said. "Leaving washing up overnight isn't the worst thing in the world! "If you know it is going to get done the next day then what's the issue?" "For God's sake," another added. "Stop coming for this lady just because she hasn't done her cleaning. "Leave her alone!" "I do & I've got a dishwasher, rest is important," a third commented. "No-one's on their deathbed wishing they'd done the dishes every night before bed," someone else said. 4
