Is it me or do they pack these things so they smash the fuck up every time now. I've not had a full poptart in years. I stopped buying them for 4-5 years as I was pissed off with having to hook bits of poptart back out of me toaster.

This week I've had a rough week. Hard week at work, family stress... I just fancied a poptart for fuck sake. First 2 in, and half a poptart out. Is someone in the factory just picking up the box after packaging them and smashing the whole thing on the deck?

Goes off to have porridge instead...

Most likely it's management making workers cut corners to get things shipped out and stocked onto shelves faster. In my experience they resort to tossing shit around and treating product like garbage to shave off a minute or two to meet some kind of timing quota. You will probably have better luck at Costco since most things are brought out to the sales floor as a pallet which I'm guessing means there's less handling between the factory to the point of sale.
