Hello and welcome to another installment of Will It Waffle?
I'm Jackson Bird and, if you don't follow me on social media – which by the way you
should, @jackisnotabird – you may not know that for the past several months, I've been
doing a residency program with TED.
Like, TED Talks, those people.
I've been working with a guy named TED.
Which means that after many many years of working remotely from my apartment, I now
work in an office and I have to commute into the city every morning.
And as you might guess from someone who hosts a breakfast-based YouTube show, I am a big
fan of breakfasts of long leisurely big breakfasts in the morning.
But I don't always have time for that anymore so I've been looking for a more time-efficient
breakfast to have and I thought I would go back to my unhealthy childhood and try some
Pop Tarts.
But I don't actually own a toaster.
I have a toaster oven.
And putting Pop Tarts in there is alright, but I think you know where this is going.
I wanted to find out if my old trusty waffle iron could do the job just as well.
And I gotta tell ya, this is the first time in a long time of Will It Waffle?
episodes that I was actually surprised with what happened.
So here it is.
[Will It Waffle? theme music]
Alright we're going to try two different types of Pop Tarts.
I've got Chocolate Fudge, one of my favorites, and because I want to see any waffle grid
patterns that might happen a bit better, I got an unfrosted version as well.
I actually really like the unfrosted versions, but everyone always makes fun of me because
they think if you're getting the kind with no frosting, you're trying to be healthy when
of course there's like nothing at all healthy about Pop Tarts.
In the chocolate fudge Pop Tarts, there is 19 grams of sugar and in the unfrosted strawberry
there is 14 grams of sugar.
Wow!
A whole whopping five grams difference in this heart attack of chocolate and this trying-to-make-you-think-it's-healthy
unfrosted version.
And it's even baked with real fruit!
How can it not be healthy for you?
I'm wearin' this Luke's t-shirt in honor of two of the biggest fans of Pop Tarts in the
world: Lorelai and Lorelai Gilmore.
Let's put these babies on the waffle iron!
This is going to be a delicate process because we don't want to crush the Pop Tarts.
Will Pop Tarts Waffle?
Very gently put that on there.
I don't want to break 'em.
Pop Tarts are very breakable.
Starting to hear the faintest little bit of a sizzle, but uh overall it's just a really
boring waffle.
[sniffs] Also, doesn't smell like anything.
How long are you supposed to cook Pop Tarts when they're in the toaster?
(Reading) For Toaster.
For Microwave.
No for waffle iron!
That's what my face looks like, saying "where's the waffle iron on the instructions?"
Holy crap!
You're only supposed to put them in the microwave for three seconds??
That's like not even putting them in the microwave at all.
What the heck...
So let's find out if Pop Tarts waffle!
Oh-ho ho!
I was not expecting that!!
Oh my god! (laughter) Ohhhh my god!
This is so NOT what I thought was gonna – (laughter)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh my gosh.
What happened here?
Oh wow.
Yeah.
Look at that.
That is very cool looking.
It's crystallizing like when I waffled jam.
Alright.
That's beautiful.
That is a very beautiful waffle pattern on there.
Phew.
Alright.
So not what I was expecting.
I mean, that's cool.
That's weird.
It's one of those situations where uh you wanna wait for it to cool down so you can
eat it, but once it cools down, it hardens.
So... ah hot!
That is hot.
Well, I can say, I definitely over cooked these.
Now that I found out you're only supposed to keep 'em in the microwave for three seconds!
Oh look, I made a house.
Hot!
Also hot.
Also hardening.
Sticking to my teeth.
Oh!
So good though, this chocolate.
This one works better.
i think if you only put them on the waffle iron for a little bit.
I would say maybe a minute.
They'd probably be pretty good.
Not a bad way to heat up a Pop Tart.
It's definitely fun.
I will give it points for being fun and unexpected.
Will I be heating up all of Pop Tarts on the waffle iron?
Probably not.
I've got a thirty minutes later update: these have all solidified together – oh, oh!
Nope.
Awww.
They are so hard you can't even really bite them anymore.
So um no, Pop Tarts do not really waffle.
Now I gotta clean my floor.
Well, I think I'll probably be sticking to the toaster oven.
If anything, it's easier to clean than a waffle iron, but that was definitely a fun thing
to see.
Thank you to all of these people for suggesting that I waffle Pop Tarts.
If you have suggestions for what I should waffle next, please leave those in the comments.
And if you try waffling Pop Tarts or anything else, I wanna see it.
Tag it on social media with #willitwaffle or send it to me @jackisnotabird.
And one quick announcement before I go that actually y'know what I don't feel bad announcing
because no one watches the end of these unless you're actually interested so for those of
you who are interested, I started a podcast.
No, it's not about waffles, but maybe we'll talk about waffles sometimes.
It's called Transmission.
It is a podcast amplifying the voices of transgender people of today.
So every episode I sit down with a fellow trans person and they tell me their story
and we talk about our lives and some of the challenges living in this world where we're
like incrasingly visible, but sometimes that's good and sometimes that's bad.
Pretty much I'm trying to get more people, especially like a broader maybe older demographic
to understand who and what trans people are and the fact that we are all so different
and unique and diverse and complex.
So if that sounds like something that is of interest to you, please go check it out on
iTunes.
It's also on Stitcher, wherever Android people get their podcasts.
It's up there.
And if you really like it, I would love for you to leave a rating and review on iTunes
so more people can find it.
Or just share it with your friends.
Also, share this video with Pop Tarts.
Like actual Pop Tarts on Twitter.
And tell 'em that we want a waffle Pop Tart.
I'm imagining like the surface would have like waffle indentations and maybe it would
taste like maple syrup?
I don't know.
What do you think a waffle Pop Tart would be?
Let me know in the comments and let's get Pop Tarts to make it.
Thank you all for watching.
I'll see ya next time.
