I'm trying to be a little more health conscious than I have been in the past, because being healthy is important. Right now, it's as simple as counting calories. So while we were at the store today, I looked at how many calories were in one blueberry poptart, sans frosting. 210
Wow, I think. That's kind of a lot. Then out of curiousity I checked the frosted variety, assuming there would be an extra 30-50. Total calories in one frosted blueberry poptart: 200.
I'll repeat that, because it bears repeating...
One unfrosted blueberry poptart: 210 calories.
One frosted blueberry poptart: 200 calories.
I double- and triple-checked to make sure my sleep deprivation wasn't playing tricks on me. I made sure they were both the same brand. Yep, Kellogg's.
SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW A FROSTED VARIETY OF ANY PRODUCT CAN HAVE TEN LESS CALORIES THAN ITS UNFROSTED COUNTERPART!!!
That's effing stupid. I no longer have ANY faith in the FDA and think counting calories is stupid because they apparently just MAKE THE DAMN NUMBERS UP!
That is all.

I would think it's because they are making up for the lack of flavor in the unfrosted by putting something else in there, like extra sugar or fat, etc. Makes sense to me. That way it can still taste pretty good.
Maybe all of the calories come from the blueberry insides, and because there is frosting on the top, there is less room for blueberry goodness on the inside?
