The Kelce brothers, Travis and Jason, recently indulged in a nostalgic conversation about their favorite Pop-Tart flavors on their popular podcast, “New Heights.” During the January 8th episode, amidst discussions about Jason’s new late-night show and upcoming bowl games, the conversation took a delicious detour when the topic of Pop-Tarts arose. The brothers, known for their on-field prowess in the NFL, showcased their shared love for the iconic breakfast pastry.
Travis, the star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, initiated the conversation by asking Jason, a former Philadelphia Eagles center, about his all-time favorite Pop-Tart flavor. Jason, after clarifying that Toaster Strudel was off-limits, admitted his fondness for the classic strawberry flavor. Travis enthusiastically agreed, proclaiming them “so good.”
Jason then revealed his appreciation for the brown sugar variety, describing it as a welcome change of pace after indulging in too many strawberry Pop-Tarts. Travis concurred, likening it to a “nice curveball.”

The brothers continued their reminiscing, attempting to recall other brown-colored Pop-Tarts from their childhood. Travis mentioned the s’mores flavor, which prompted Jason to share his aversion to the campfire treat, citing its messy nature and tendency to get stuck in his beard. Travis, while acknowledging the messiness, defended s’mores as a campfire staple.
The conversation then shifted to a “sneaky” flavor that emerged as they grew older: Wild Berry. Travis vividly described the purple pastry with blue icing, while Jason confirmed its deliciousness. Travis emphatically declared it “f—ing crack,” highlighting its addictive quality.

Beyond their personal preferences, the Kelce brothers acknowledged the significant role Pop-Tarts played in their childhoods, questioning what growing up without them would have been like. This sentiment resonated with the recent news of Pop-Tarts’ collaboration with Krispy Kreme, which resulted in a limited-edition doughnut collection inspired by iconic Pop-Tart flavors. The collection features Frosted Strawberry, Frosted Chocolatey Fudge, and Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon doughnuts, further solidifying Pop-Tarts’ enduring popularity and cultural relevance. The Kelce brothers’ nostalgic conversation serves as a reminder of the simple joys and shared experiences that food can evoke, even for NFL superstars.
