  1. The fruity Guava Mango flavor was discontinued shortly after its release.
    Released in the summer of 2008, the fruity Guava Mango flavor was an exciting, experimental flavor that featured rich filling and drizzles of frosting rather than a whole coat. The tropical flavor brought two tasty fruits together in a way that the company hadn’t often done before, so it didn’t come as too much of a shock when they were discontinued soon after their release.[14]
    • The Guava Mango Pop-Tarts were aimed towards Latin American and Caribbean markets, as the two fruits are extremely popular in the cuisines of these regions.

Tropical Mango

Toasting the Tropical Mango Pop-Tart helped bring the rich flavor out, but not enough for it to avoid being discontinued sometime after 2022.[15]

It was even re-released in 2017 as a part of the It’s Back!” Pop-Tarts series, but has since disappeared from shelves.[17]

Splitz Chocolate Strawberry

  1. The tasty Chocolate Strawberry mash-up was discontinued in 2012.
    When Pop-Tarts released their Splitz Chocolate Strawberry combination in 2007, it was the best of both worlds. One side of the Pop Tart was chocolate and the other was strawberry, which presented you with the option of eating them separately or together. Sort of like Neapolitan ice cream, this was a versatile flavor. Despite its success, Pop-Tarts discontinued the Splitz Chocolate Strawberry flavor in 2012.[18]
