I think you will find that they were originally made by General Mills, not Kellogs.

They are made by the Shulze and Burch Biscuit Company. The website is: http://www.toastem.com/

Toast-Ems were not made by Kellog's. Kellog's made Pop-Tarts. They were competitors. Today, Toast-Ems are made by Shulze and Burch Biscuit Co., and they still feature that cool zig-zag pattern on the crust bottom. Way better than Pop-Tarts! You can find Toast-Ems at most Dollar Tree stores.

I randomly found some @ a $ Tree & had fond memories of my childhood. Much better than pop tarts ... more moist.

Wrong,,,,,,,POST made toastem's

Mary is absolutely right. They were called Toastem Popups. I ought to know, my late father was part of the team at Post Cereals who helped develop the machinery to make the product. They graciously put his name on the patent! By the way, to Battle Creek natives (yes, Post is in Battle Creek too, the first cereal manufacturer here) it was always Postum, I suspect the Toastem name was a play on that.

I'm getting the name of Toastems confused with another non-pastry snack. What were the 3/8" thick slices of cheese that you would apply to a slice of bread and either bake em or microwave them? The Reuben flavor had real chunks of corned beef in them and were delicious! Probably between 1981 and 1985 or so. Help!

I purchased a box of Toastem's (brown sugar cinnamon). Upon opening the package all the pouches were hard as bricks. Definitely not edible. I sent an email to the company & also called at six times. Have never heard a word from them.

The Apple used to be the BEST can't find anywhere
Pat - April 09, 2016 - Report this comment
I agree the Apple were so good with sprinkles of sugar on them instead of frosting
Moe Williams - July 10, 2016 - Report this comment

My favorite flavor was grape. Don't think any had frosting back then. Remember the little x's on the top? ARE they still there?

From the Saturday morning cartoon vault, a TV spot for Toast 'Em Animal pastries. A cartoon with a safari hunter using a net to bag three different types. These were Cinnamon Lions, Berry Bears and Chocolate Elephants. This aired on "Hong Kong Phooey" over ABC (10/12/74). Scatman Crothers of "Chico and the Man" voiced Hong Kong, superhero dog who doubled as Henry, a janitor in a police station. Joe E. Ross voiced Sgt. Flint, and Julie Bennett as Rosemary Giddy, a policewoman on double duty as meter maid and switchboard operator. In several cartoons, she helped solve crimes, as well as rescue Hong Kong or Sarge out of danger. The series parodied "Kung Fu."

From the prime time TV vault, an original Toast 'Em spot with two little boys, plus Toast 'Em frosting, in a squeeze tube, for one to spread frosting on unfrosted pastries. This aired on "Mayberry RFD" over CBS (9/29/69). Along with General Foods, the Philip Morris Tobacco Company co-sponsored the successor to the "Andy Griffith Show," with former "F-Troop" CO Ken Berry as the star, along with George Lindsey and Jack Dodson.

My favorite was the grape, it was frosted tho when I was a kid. Can't find them today anywhere. I sure do miss em even now as an almost senior citizen!

In the film "I Love You Alice B. Toklas!" (1968) Peter Sellers plays a lawyer named Harold Fine who lets his brother's hippy girlfriend named Nancy (played by Leigh Taylor-Young) stay overnight at his apartment. The next morning after he leaves for work, she hangs around his apartment, goes into the kitchen & lo and behold, when she opens the kitchen cupboard, on the shelf is a box of Grape-flavor TOAST'EM POP UPS, the 1968 purple-side panel box with the old GENERAL FOODS insignia on the side. So great!!

I was happy to find Toastems still available after all these years, even if the taste isn't quite as good as when Post made them. So sad that Kellogg, in spite of an inferior c**p product, won the battle of the toaster pastries by outspending the competition. Now, if someone would just start making Toastettes again - would much rather have those back than all these organic, gluten-free products full of acai berries, pomegranates, and healthy, all-natural bat guana!
