Pop-Tarts are the subject of Jerry Seinfeld's Netflix film, Unfrosted, and the fictional comedy about Pop-Tarts' origin story inspired limited-edition Trat-Pops boxes. Only by tuning in will fans understand the charming typo on the product packaging.
While the new film was created without the involvement of the iconic toaster pastry brand, Pop-Tarts leaned in and partnered with filmmakers to release a comedic digital short written by and starring Jerry Seinfeld. "Unfrosted is the ultimate flattery, and the biggest fanfiction ever," said Heidi Ray, Senior Director of Brand Marketing, Pop-Tarts.
Fans can win a Trat-Pops box of their own, the official box of the Unfrosted movie, by entering online. Pop-Tarts fans can also look forward to seeing in-aisle and online activations from retailers across the country.
