It’s trying to be some kind of fruit filled pastry. Imagine the cheapest ingredients you could source, to mass produce as many as possible with the longest shelf life possible. I think they probably come frozen? I haven’t had one since I was a kid like 30 years ago, and that would have been at a friends house because my parents wouldn’t but that crap.
I do eat other frozen type junk food though. Like frozen burritos. So it’s not like it’s beneath me or anything.

You’re right about everything except the frozen part. They can just sit in a box in your cupboard because they’re basically made of plastic.

They are incredibly flammable. Basically just a slab of glucose fructose.

Yeah I wasn’t sure on that part. That’s crazy that the filling is shelf stable and keeps.
