pop tarts

Frosted breakfast rectangles

Pop-Tarts is a brand of toaster pastry—flat, rectangular treats with sweet filling and often frosting, designed to be heated in a toaster.

The name has become semi-generic for any similar product.

Figuratively, someone or something called a pop tart is flashy but insubstantial: The album is pure pop tart—catchy but forgettable.
