I’m waiting for the Girl Scout Cookies flavors to finally hit stores, but in the meantime, I found the new **Frosted** **Lemon Blueberry Crumble** variety. It’s hard for a new flavor of Pop-Tart to really, really capture my attention. After growing up with the Unfrosted Strawberry flavor before moving on to Frosted Strawberry, I moved on to S’mores and way too many boxes of Hot Fudge Sundae Pop-Tarts during college. Over the past few years, I’ve excitedly bought the Eggo Waffles Pop-Tarts ... only to be disappointed by gimmicky flavors like that. (I gave Frosted Marshmallow Hot Cocoa [a pass back in October](https://www.theomnicosm.com/toast-or-roast-the-frosted-marshmallow-hot-cocoa-pop-tarts/).) I saw some pretty positive buzz around Lemon Blueberry Crumble online, which made them a no-brainer purchase for me when I discovered that they were available on Target’s website ... ## Sign up Join the hundreds of ****Snackology** subscribers who already get this free newsletter covering new snacks — candy, soda, fast food and more!

Something was off with this flavor. As I do with food for **Snackology**, I arranged these Pop-Tarts for some photos. They had a nice crumble. The Pop-Tart pastry itself was much more pastry-ish than your standard fruit-filled Pop-Tart. The blueberry filling looked good. These were definitely Kellogg’s attempt at creating an elevated Pop-Tart. But, still, something was off. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f4/8b/f48be8ca-23c6-4d81-b0cf-da2fb0785911/content/images/2025/03/IMG_9962.jpeg) As I brought half a Pop-Tart up to my mouth, the smell hit me again. It was too ... clean? Too floral? I offered a bit to Caitlin without telling her what I thought about the Lemon Blueberry Pop-Tart. “It tastes like a cleaning product,” she instantly said. “It tastes like a bad Yankee Candle.” Yeah, that was it. The Lemon Blueberry Crumble Pop-Tart tastes like a cleaning product. Maybe that’s something you look for in a Pop-Tart, but it’s definitely not my ideal version of the breakfast pastry. (My ideal version is the S’mores flavor, because *I’m an adult*.) ### Final verdict: PASS Look, if something tastes like a cleaning product, I’m definitely not going to recommend it to you. In a world of a billion Pop-Tart flavors — Frosted Strawberry! S’mores! Wild Berry! Hot Fudge Sundae! — I’m never going to tell you to buy a flavor that isn’t worth your time or your taste buds.
