Pop Tart inventor has gone to Heaven.

[Parliament 14142]

William “Bill” Post, the man often credited with inventing the beloved Pop Tart, has died at 96.

“It is at this juncture that Bill is often credited for having ‘invented’ the Pop Tart,” Post’s obituary states. “To be accurate, however, Bill would say, ‘I assembled an amazing team that developed Kellogg’s concept of a shelf-stable toaster pastry into a fine product that we could bring to market in the span of just four months.’”

Pop Tarts made their debut to the public in 1964 with the four original flavors of strawberry, blueberry, brown sugar cinnamon and apple-currant. Now, 60 years later, there are between 20 to 30 flavors on the market at any given time with new flavors constantly being in development and tested for an ever-changing market.

Rest in peace, Bill.  You made the World a better place.

Heck what that little fish.  If a shark was made of cherry pop tart I’d eat it whole.
