1. Frosted Strawberry
California
Connecticut
Florida
Georgia
Iowa
Louisiana
Michigan
Mississippi
New York
North Dakota
South Carolina
Tennessee
Utah
Frosted strawberry landed in the No. 2 spot when I ranked Pop-Tarts flavors, but in the hearts and stomachs of America, it's No. 1. As potentially the most approachable flavor, this makes sense to me.

2. Frosted S'mores
Delaware
Illinois
Indiana
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
Ohio
Oregon
Virginia
Washington
The sweet tooth is real. I'll never understand how people can crank something this sweet early in the morning, but I do respect it.

3. Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon
Arizona
Kentucky
Massachusetts
Minnesota
Missouri
Nebraska
North Carolina
Oklahoma
Wisconsin
As the best flavor in my opinion, I'm surprised to see it as the third most popular choice. I live in North Carolina, so I assume most of those purchases are from me.

4. Frosted Cherry
Alaska
Maryland
Pennsylvania
Texas
Only four states love Cherry the most, and that means there are 46 states missing out. Cherry is a good one.
5. Frosted Blueberry
Colorado
New Hampshire
Wyoming
A toasted Frosted Blueberry Pop-Tart isn't far off from a hot blueberry muffin, which means Colorado, New Hampshire, and Wyoming know exactly how to kick off a beautiful morning.
6. Frosted Hot Fudge Sundae
Alabama
Kansas
Vermont
I've never tasted this flavor, but just like S'mores, it's quite a decadent way to start your day. Unless Alabama, Kansas, and Vermont are eating these for dessert, we are not on the same page at all.
7. Frosted Chocolatey Churro
Rhode Island
These seem to be discontinued, which is a shame because I'd love to try them. C'mon, Pop-Tarts, don't do this to Rhode Island.
8. Wild Berry
Maine
Maine stands alone in its love of Wild Berry, and that's a bummer. Wild Berry is a top five flavor, according to a certain genius (me). Oh well. More for Maine.
9. Unfrosted Blueberry
South Dakota
There is no conceivable reason to eat an unfrosted Pop-Tart, let alone a blueberry one. Is everything okay in South Dakota? Did you know there are other flavors, too?
10. Frosted Raspberry
Hawaii
Raspberry is a pretty decent flavor. Not sure why the folks in Hawaii are the only ones who know that.
11. Frosted Cookies & Crème
Idaho
Though Cookies & Crème isn't my favorite Tarts flavor, I do feel pride for Idaho's let's-have-Oreos-for-breakfast vibes.
12. Frosted Apple Cinnamon
West Virginia
How is a flavor that's barely different from Brown Sugar Cinnamon only popular in one state? I bet the rest of the country is just too afraid to try it. Scaredy-cats.
13. Frosted Chocolate Fudge
Arkansas
This thing is so chocolatey that you could serve it in a restaurant as the most decadent dessert on the menu. Arkansas, are you firing this thing up at 7 a.m.?
14. Frosted Chocolate Strawberry
Montana
Here's another flavor I didn't know existed. It seems to be discontinued, but as a lover of chocolate and red fruit, I'd like to try this immediately.
