Pop-Tarts Demands Secret Recipe After Taylor Swift Bakes For Kansas City Chiefs

March 7, 2024

Pop-Tarts has taken a delicious dive into the world of pop music, and to everyone’s delight, it has hitmaker Taylor Swift involved.

The Kellanova-owned snack maker has released a public plea — so public that they took a full-page ad in a newspaper for it — asking Taylor to release the recipe of her homemade Pop-Tarts pastry.

To make sure their plea was heard by the masses, Pop-Tarts used a full-page ad in The Kansas City Star’s Friday print and e-Editions, where the company said they were “tortured” not knowing more about Taylor’s version of the baked goods. Does it have a special filing? Does it have frosting? Pop-Tarts begged to know.

“To KC’s most famous fan. We heard you have a Pop-Tarts pastry recipe,” read the message on the ad.

“We’re tortured not knowing more about this DIY delight. What’s the filling? Does it have frosting? Do they have little holes?” the company said, clearly unable to contain their curiosity just like the rest of the eager Swifties across the world.

The buzz around Taylor’s special Pop-Tarts began after the Kansas City Chiefs’ coach, Andy Reid, spoke about how the Love Story singer captured the hearts of her boyfriend Travis Kelce‘s teammates by baking for them.

“Kind of behind-the-scenes, she, to fit in — she didn’t even know she was doing this, I don’t think — she likes to cook, so she made the offensive linemen homemade Pop-Tarts,” the coach said on an episode of NFL by NBC.

When hosts Mike Florio and Chris Simms asked if he managed to taste one of the Taylor-made goodies, Andy replied, “She didn’t give me one, and the offense linemen definitely didn’t give me one!”

The coach also remarked on how Taylor is currently the woman of the hour across the world, loved for her catchy tunes and heartfelt lyrics.

“Since the Queen has passed away, she might be the most famous woman in the world. She’s so grounded for who she is,” the coach said.

After Andy told the world about Taylor making homemade treats for members of the Kansas City Chiefs, Pop-Tarts became desperate to see what Taylor’s version of the pastry was like.

In their full-page ad that appeared recently in The Kansas City Star’s newspaper, the company made a deal with Taylor, pledging to double a donation to Harvesters food bank in Kansas City if Taylor graces the world with her version of the Pop-Tarts pastry.

“So let’s make a deal,” the ad went on to say. “We are making a donation to Harvesters, a local Feeding America partner food bank, and will double it if you share (your version) of our recipe with the masses.”

Pop-Tarts also promised to offer Andy a bite of her version this time.

“And this time, we’ll make sure coach gets a bite. You in?” the ad said.

If a full-page ad in the local newspaper wasn’t enough, Pop-Tarts also decided to extend its plea on Instagram with a post that said, “Release the Recipe.”

“To KC’s most famous fan, we heard there’s a Pop-Tarts pastry (Your Version) and in its honor, we’re donating to @harvesters, a local Feeding America partner food bank. But if you #releasetherecipe, we’ll double our donation,” Pop-Tarts wrote on Instagram.

In the comments section, Harvesters expressed their gratitude and said they also wanted to take a peek at the recipe.

“We can’t thank you enough! We all want to know her recipe too…” Harvesters commented.

Taylor often swaps her guitar for a whisk and has offered some baked treats to her boyfriend Travis in the past. She once treated Travis to some homemade cinnamon rolls as a pre-game meal, according to former NFL quarterback Bernie Kosar.

“I was at [Kelce’s] house three hours before the game. We’re having a pre-game meal, and Taylor is so nice, she comes in by herself, and she’s so cool,” Bernie said on Audacy’s AM 560 Sports WQAM last December.

Bernie, who noted that he is a vegan, said he couldn’t resist trying some of the Grammy-winner’s cinnamon rolls.

“She made her homemade cinnamon rolls for Travis for a pre-game meal. I’m a juicer right now, trying to be vegan and gluten-free, but I absolutely had to sample some of that cinnamon roll on game day,” he said.

“Release the Recipe,” Pop-Tarts said, hoping the hitmaker would tell the world about the baked goods she offered her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his teammates

Bernie is just one of many big-shots that have praised the singer for her skills in the kitchen. Gigi Hadid once said in an interview with InStyle that her famous friend is an “exceptional cook” and even mentioned the Taylor’s Version dishes that she loves.

“When you’re not hosting, whose dinner party are you never missing, and what’s on the menu?” Gigi was asked by the outlet.

“Taylor Swift is an exceptional cook, and I love her. She also makes a really good bolognese sauce and a really good chili that I love,” Gigi said.

“So, I love to cook, but it’s also such a treat to get cooked for,” she continued. “And when you have friends that really also care about those special moments and the more intimate spaces and what can really come from putting an effort into making the time for that, I think that that’s when you start to find the friends that you really connect with, because you’re both working towards manifesting those really special moments.”

Singer Katy Perry also once raved about Taylor’s cookies in the past and called them “incredible.”

“They were soft. I couldn’t believe they weren’t store-bought.” Katy was quoted saying in an interview.

If being an amazing baker and award-winning singer wasn’t enough, Taylor has also shown that she’s a wonderful friend to her pals as well. For singer Selena Gomez’s 26th birthday in 2018, Taylor baked a cake for her that said, “Gomez or go home.”

“Will I let distance stop me from celebrating my best friend’s bday?” she wrote on social media as she showed off the homemade pink cake.

“I mean I could but why would I want 2” she added, making a special nod to Selena’s popular lyrics from the hit ‘Hands to Myself.’

While some fans were eager to know the recipe themselves, others were not impressed by Pop-Tarts’ marketing gimmick

50 Moments People Realized They Were Dating Or Married To An Idiot

December 7, 2021

Man, relationships start off so great. The initial, sweeping romance often consumes a couple when they first get together. In this stage, you feel as if you’ve found a perfect match, someone who is both similar and new. Someone compatible. You want to spend as much time with them as possible, and enjoy each other’s boundaries melting away. But that exposes our less glamorous attributes too.

In an attempt to show the unexpected turns their love life has taken, women are confessing to the internet how husbands and boyfriends are testing their limits. So we at Bored Panda decided to put these complaints together and see if we can all somehow grow from it.

From little everyday crimes (such as eating cheese like an animal) to bigger offenses (like hitting on your partner’s married niece), here are a million ways to frustrate and disappoint your partner.

By the way, I feel like we also need to include a disclaimer. This publication doesn’t mean that all men are garbage and every woman is a saint. I’d say it’s more of a study to see what common relationship problems women go through.

According to some estimates, almost 50 percent of all marriages in the United States will end in divorce or separation. But what exactly makes sustaining a romantic relationship so hard?

Well, in 2020, a team of scientists led by Menelaos Apostolou of the University of Nicosia in Greece found that fading enthusiasm, long work hours, and lack of personal time and space are the three most common problem areas that prevent people from staying together. However, if it offers you some reassurance, they also think that only 30% of adults find it easy to maintain long-term romantic relationships.

#4 I Split Up With My Boyfriend Yesterday. I Fell Asleep While He Was Packing And He Stole My Toilet

When it comes to the top challenge (fading enthusiasm, it can be explained by the fact that many people find long-term relationships to be tiring and they get bored quickly. They also sometimes realize that the passion and romantic love fades sooner than they might’ve expected. Fading enthusiasm is especially problematic among people who dislike routines.

Long work hours is one of those factors that might seem a little bit surprising at first but later sound really logical. In fact, some have already speculated that divorce rates can be predicted by the length of a spouse’s commute. This research adds credibility to this notion — partners who spend many hours working or prioritize their career over their relationship are, not surprisingly, less involved and less successful in the latter.

Feeling suffocated or lacking sufficient me time is the third most common reason why people have difficulty maintaining romantic relationships. Those who feel constrained by their commitment, or (whether or not it’s justified) feel that their partner is constantly nagging them, will have issues working on and sustaining it.

The publication said that other common problems were character issues, clinginess, and bad sex.

But coming back to what we briefly mentioned in the intro of this publication, it’s important that no gender is the bad one. Just the individuals. Dr. Kristie Overstreet, a clinical sexologist and psychotherapist, highlighted that men face their own unique set of relationship issues—and a lot of them have to do with the way guys are raised. (Keep in mind that these differences are not relegated to just men in heterosexual relationships; they apply to all men in every kind of relationship.)

Fear of rejection, hiding depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues, pressure to be the financial provider, and performance anxiety around sex are just some of the things that men frequently worry about in relationships.

“Men are taught from a young age to not talk about their problems or struggles. Men aren’t allowed to show or express emotions,” Overstreet told Men’s Health. This can actually be the root cause of many romantic conflicts. After all, managing emotions and communication is vital for every couple.

He says he’s “saving it for later.” There are now ten bags with little or next to nothing in them. The problem is he never eats them, buys new ones, and after a few weeks I have to throw them away.
