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?

Are you an American? If so there's your answer.

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?

Sam Spade: We were talking about a lot more money than this. Kasper Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this, you can buy ten dollars of talk.

No. I'm pretty sure we don't have pop-tarts in Europe. Maybe in the UK, but they're not really Europe anyway.

Would anyone be interested if I import pop tarts into Europe. The answer OP's question: 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...

This guy is hilarious: I think poptarts are about 2 inches wide. That would make my cock 7 Poptarts long. Typical of those commies to devalue my capitalist knob.

I kinda doubt it. Apart from the novelty factor, they're a very American thing. And Jesus Christ I get fat just LOOKING at the Ingredients. Here's a list of all the simple sugars found in the blueberry variant: - Corn Syrup - Sugar - Dextrose - High Fructose Corn Syrup - Corn Syrup Solids - Milled Corn - Caramel Color - Fructose - Molasses - Blueberry Juice Concentrate Goddamn, and people wonder why there's an obesity epidemic.

So, how long have you been trekking the globe as an intentional voyeurist? It's a shame you didn't stick around long enough to peek into the Romanian's bedroom to see what else is measured with a chocolate vanilla Pop Tart, sharing your discoveries with us. By any chance was the one doing the measuring donning a groom tux? http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012/sep/3/bride-napping-a-wedding-custom-in-romania/

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.

Didn't even list the more complex carbs or the palm fat.

Pop-Tarts® are Kelloggs' most popular brand, selling more than two billion Pop-Tarts® each year. For tax reasons, Pop-Tarts® 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. Since their creation, Pop-Tarts® 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.

He was peeking in windows and made the discovery.
