The [Pop-Tarts Party Pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pop-tarts-1) has been unveiled by Kellanova as an oversized take on the [classic breakfast toasted pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poptarts-protein) that's sure to surprise and delight consumers of all ages.

The pastry is reported to be 73-times larger than the brand's original Pop-Tarts [toaster pastry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-original-donut-shop-poptart) and will thus serve up to 73 partygoers with its oversized format. The pastry features the signature golden crust that's filled with the classic strawberry-flavored filling before being frosted and covered with sprinkles. The pastry is being offered in limited quantities in Los Angeles, New York City and Chicago starting August 7, 2024 for $60 in celebration of the 60th birthday of Pop-Tarts.

For over 60 years, Pop-Tarts has been dedicated to making moments Crazy Good, so if you are celebrating an everyday small moment or a major life event, the Pop-Tarts Party Pastry will bring the energy of summers past into moments that matter most to you today."
