They’ve long said that breakfast is “the most important meal of the day” and since this would usually happen after a good night’s sleep its probably 100% correct. That being said, the fun comedy feature by Jerry Seinfeld called “Unfrosted” tells the tale about the origin of Pop-Tarts. The film will premiere on Netflix in May and the Official Trailer has been shared below along with a massive ensemble cast. Take a look.
The Premise: In this “tale of ambition, betrayal, sugar, and menacing milkmen”, cereal company Kellogg’s attempts to beat their rival Post to the market with a revolutionary breakfast pastry in 1963 Battle Creek, Michigan. (c/o Wiki)

Piercing Ken Thoughts: This trailer was a hoot and its Seinfeld’s first go round as a director so it should be interesting to see how he does. I also love the Pop-Tarts brand and often snack on them as opposed to having them for breakfast. I haven’t added too many comedies to our Pop Culture focuses here on “The Chronicles” but with a cast of performers like this film, I just couldn’t resist. All of that comes up in Google after all and that means website traffic. We love website traffic even more than treats like Pop-Tarts and as I wrap this up I wonder what you readers think about it all. Do you like comedies like this one or more importantly are you a fan of Pop-Tarts? Chime in down below in the comments and I will see you next time.
