Title: Is it true that pop tarts are used as a measuring tool in European countries. Post by: joycece on June 28, 2013, 01:47:37 PM I was travelling through Romania last summer and saw a middle aged man measuring the surface area of a living room with [what looked to me as being] chocolate and marshmallow Pop Tarts. I'm unsure if this is standard practice in the less developed Eastern European countries because Pop tarts over here cost a fortune, surely there are cheaper ways of doing this?

He wasn't measuring the floor. This is indeed common practice all over Europe by people having heated floors and broken toasters.Wait - they have pop-tarts in Romania?

No. I'm pretty sure we don't have pop-tarts in Europe. Maybe in the UK, but they're not really Europe anyway. Title: Re: Is it true that pop tarts are used as a measuring tool in European countries.

The answer OP's question: Quote Of course, it's not the regular way... though Romania is still short of many supplies since it is one of the poorest countries of Europe next to Albania or Moldavia. Usually, people use rulers or meter tapes while I myself often use my shoes or my finger span since I know my own sizes...

That would make my cock 7 Poptarts long. Typical of those commies to devalue my capitalist knob. Title: Re: Is it true that pop tarts are used as a measuring tool in European countries.

Are you sure you're not confusing sugar with fat. What I've witnessed is that if too much sugar is consumed by kids, they get hyperactive, thus burning off most, if not all, those complex carbohydrates.

Post by: Phinnaeus Gage on June 28, 2013, 04:23:25 PM Quote Pop-TartsŪ are Kelloggs' most popular brand, selling more than two billion Pop-TartsŪ each year. For tax reasons, Pop-TartsŪ are considered to be cookies and should always be pronounced as a plural, never "Pop-Tart" or "Funtangle" in the singular form. They are distributed mainly in the United States, but are also available in the United Kingdom, Australia, and Hell. Quote Since their creation, Pop-TartsŪ have served as the epitome by which all not-nice things are measured [sans Romanian living rooms]. I'll leave it to the reading to figure out where the above quotes were gleaned, sans the sans Romainian living rooms comment.
