Inside [the Pop-Tarts Box] there are three pouches of two. This is what happens to me: I open the first pouch, and I eat one tart, and I enjoy it very much, as naturally I would. And then I feel, "Well, I have to eat the second one or it will go stale." Well, now I’ve eaten two, and it’s no longer just a snack, it’s a meal. I figure I may as well eat two more. And then finally I’m just like, "Well hell, I don’t just want two pop tarts hangin’ out in a box." I eat the last two just to tidy up, really'
