Flings reviews assert the brand can work as a lower‑sugar, higher‑protein alternative to Pop‑Tarts—many users praise flavors like Sticky Cinnamon and a satisfying frosting, but numerous reviewers find the texture gummy or dry and report a persistent artificial/sugar‑alcohol aftertaste. This helps buyers who prioritise protein and lower sugar determine Flings may satisfy sweet cravings without sugar spikes, but risk unpleasant mouthfeel and sweetener-driven taste.

Pretty good toaster pastries that have a good flavor. I like that they're made with natural ingredients and includes protein, unlike other brands. I'd buy these again due to their ingredients and high quality.

I tried this after reading the reviews here, so I wasn't expecting much. These have not that much flavor, but it's not offensive. What is offensive to me is that these have a fibrous aftertaste thing that sticks in my teeth. I really don't think these are worth it.

Have tried both the brown sugar cinnamon and the strawberry. The strawberry wasn’t too great but brown sugar wasn’t bad, just a little bit chemical? tasting. Apparently they have a new formula though, maybe it’s improved.

I tried their strawberry flavor of this product and I did not like it all unfortunately. I thought it tasted way too sweet. I was not expecting it to be so overly sweet. It is also quite pricey for what it is.

I was a little skeptical about these. A) how were they so expensive and B) would they actually taste good? I was pleasantly surprised that yes, they actually are tasty! I still don’t get why there’s only 4 (four) pastries per box… I feel like there should be more, tbh.

I wasn’t a huge fan of these Flings. I really liked the imaging and the branding but I didn’t really like the taste and texture of these very much. I think something should change in the formula to make it better

The reviews had me thinking this would be inedible. While I wouldn’t say I LIKED them, it wasn’t awful and I can imagine someone liking them. The taste is a bit artificial and the aftertaste sticks around. Contains a little bit of protein and a LOT of fiber so that’s a plus. Do they taste as good as pop-tarts? Of course not. But it could be a good replacement. Honestly I think the worst part is the price. If it costs $9 for a 4-pack they should at least taste better.


Warming in microwave may get exploded fillings. Eating it at room temperature doesn't taste that great. The crust is dry and has a taste that is not appetizing. The texture was ok. Though the filling has less sugar compared to its competitor brands, but it is quite sweet to me. Not really worth the price and taste.

They have a new recipe so tried the cinnamon one since I didn’t like the strawberry one last time. I toasted the fling on the lowest toaster setting to warm it up. It was definitely better than the previous version. I liked the softness of the shell. The inside was a tad too sweet for me to have alone but went well with a cup of coffee. It also has high protein and fiber as an added benefit.

Honestly, really disappointing. I had high hopes as I used to love pop tarts, but find whatever the sweetener flavor is to taste so artificial. I will not finish my box.

I discovered these on Thing Testing and ordered the chocolate ones. I was SO excited when I saw they had arrived (in a cool package btw). I tried them right away, and they're delicious. Great texture and they definitely give Poptart vibes. Was I disappointed when I saw they only had 1 tart per baggy? Yes. Did I eat 2 of them to get the complete Poptart experience? Yes. Was that a whopping 24g of Erythritol because each contains 12g of it? Holy crap, yea! My stomach hurt so bad all night after eating them. Don't eat them before a big day or a date because you'll be passing gas and super uncomfortable. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt because I ate "too many" (2) but I don't think I'll be able to enjoy these like I wanted to. I honestly think they could do with half the sugar alcohols they contain and they'd still be delicious!

Awesome Breakfast Option. Got my hands on the and Love how these don't taste like your typical "health food" - they're actually satisfying and feel like a real treat, not a compromise.

I was excited to try considering I tried other brands before. Needless to say I was very disappointed in the quality and taste. Not sure why the packaging shows something that looks good versus what was unpackaged. Once I bit into It the flavor and taste was not was I expecting from a low sugar or sugar free option. I’m not sure if the store left the boxes out in the heat which would cause the whit frosting come off or if the were old. The expired dat was not there yet but I think I bought a bad batch. Not sure what flings can do to provide better quality. I hope Fling’s reads this review because I feel they should know

First off, it was absolutely bare. It looked nothing like the packaging. There was no icing or strawberry on top. It's chalky, it has a bad aftertaste. I would literally rather focus on macros at other meals or snacks and enjoy a regular pop tart than ever having to try this again.

Just wow! This amazing company replicates the taste of Pop-Tarts but even better! With no sugar crash, and I get my protein intake these toaster pastries actually have no strings attached!! The kids absolutely love it! I can't believe they're healthy, and not to mention so instagrammable 😅

Brand is amazing! Product is decent but I think theres too much sugar alcohol or something that tastes fake, gives it a weird aftertaste. Product also doesnt look anything like it does in the photo.

As the creator of these delightful toaster treats, I might be somewhat inclined, but even without my personal connection, I'd still say - start your day with Flings. Why just have a regular breakfast when you can indulge in a touch of sweetness? It's the most appetizing innovation since, believe it or not, the traditional morning toast!

Loving the new recipe. The perfect road trip snack, Paired perfectly with an ice cold brew!

One box comes with four individually packaged in straight out of the factory aluminum packets and when you open them, it's looks a bit like a plain cookie x cardboard. I was ready to give it an honest shot though so I microwaved according to instructions and the door opened to reveal...a kinda shiny piece of cardboard? The thin layer of sugar had kinda melted and was sticky when I went to go take my first bite. It tasted bad, what more can I say? It was kinda gummy in texture and didn't have much flavor other than "FAKE SUGAR". Didn't ever get desperate enough to run through the rest of the box so they'll sit in my pantry forever I guess...
Flings Pop-Tarts are a fun twist on the classic, with interesting flavors that are definitely different. However, the taste can be hit or miss, and they’re a bit too sweet for my liking. They’re a decent snack, but not something I’d reach for regularly. Good for trying something new, but not a favorite.
