'''Toast'em Pop Ups''' is a [[toaster pastry]] brand, currently produced by the Schulze and Burch Biscuit Company.<ref>[http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2007-08-26/news/0708250276_1_mr-boyle-general-foods-bridgeport Patrick J.

They are sold in pairs in Mylar wrapping, do not need refrigeration, and are typically heated in a toaster oven or toaster before eating.
 
==History==
The product has no [[trans fat]], and Schulze and Burch Biscuit Company claims that the products have extra [[fruit]] filling.<ref name="pastries_2011"/> The product's pastry and filling are said to have a higher standard of production, and the company suggests that it has a 'state of the art' production facility.<ref name="pastries_2011"/>
In 1963, [[Post Consumer Brands|Post]] invented a way to partially dehydrate foods to keep them from spoiling, by using foil (later, [[Mylar]]) wrappers. They initially used this for dog food, sold under the name [[Gaines Burgers]]. In February 1964, Post announced they would soon release a new breakfast pastry using this method, which they named '''Country Squares'''. However, the announcement came well ahead of the company's ability to produce and distribute the product, during which time rival [[Kellogg's]] was able to release their new product, [[Pop Tarts]].<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.arcamax.com/trivia/s-94657-350268 |title=Trivia&nbsp;— How long have we been munching on Pop-Tarts?| website= arcamax.com |publisher=[[ArcaMax Publishing]] |date=July 17, 2006 |access-date=October 8, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080122024916/http://www.arcamax.com/trivia/s-94657-350268 |archive-date=January 22, 2008 |url-status=dead}}</ref>
 
Country Squares sold very poorly compared to Pop Tarts, and Post changed the product's name to Toast'em Pop Ups in 1965. In 1971, Post sold the rights to the name and product to the Schulze and Burch Biscuit Company, which still produces Toast'em Pop Ups today.<ref>{{cite news |last=Hymon |first=Steve |date=September 25, 1994 |url=https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1994-09-25-9409250345-story.html |title=Toasting an Icon – Chicago Tribune |newspaper=[[Chicago Tribune]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211109185714/https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-1994-09-25-9409250345-story.html |archive-date=November 9, 2021 |url-status=dead}} </ref>
