Many of the same Republican lawmakers who have targeted the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau for cuts have collectively directed thousands of constituents’ complaints about banks, credit cards, loans and other products to the agency.

There have been a number of variations of Apple Pop-Tarts. One variation is back on the market. See the attached illustration. However, by and large, apple variations have been discontinued due to the fact that consumers allegedly prefer stronger flavors.

I see that there are other Pop-Tarts that didn't make the cut. Wild Watermelon, Frosted Grape, Guava Mango, etc. For a possibly interesting Pop-Tarts article, visit the link below:
