Yes, these new Pop-Tart flavors are real, and coming soon

Kellogg's is expanding its variety of Pop-Tarts with five new, rather interesting (if not a bit weird) new flavors.

Starting this December and running through Spring 2016, Kellogg's will launch new, sort-of-spring-time flavors. While I suppose Pop-Tarts are technically labeled as a breakfast pastry, I feel it's widely accepted that there's really no wrong time to eat one of these delicious treats. While I admit I'm not the biggest fan of the more eccentric Pop-Tart flavors, I do indulge in the delicious S'mores flavor every now and then. But these new flavors… I'm not too sure about them.

Sure, the "Chocolatey Caramel" and "Frosted Spring Strawberry" don't seem to deviate too far from the Pop-Tart norm, the other three — "Maple Bacon," "Frosted Watermelon," and "Pink Lemonade" — might be going a bit overboard.

Food blog Delish described each of the five new flavors:

Chocolatey Caramel (December 2015): "Decadent choclate crust full of caramel… topped with extra chocolate and caramel icing." Basically, diabetes in a silver foil wrapper.

Maple Bacon: "Golden crust packed with maple-bacon filling and topped with sweet white frosting. The 'Crunchlets' showered on top are salty and smoky." Apparently, Delish likes it, but it sounds just downright gross to me.

Frosted Watermelon (December 2015): Perhaps better fitted for warm-weather, Delish says "its sweet center and pink-and-green icing will be a bright flash of summertime amid the winter blue."

Frosted Spring Strawberry (early 2016): Not your "average strawberry flavor." Instead, they are "emblazoned with "crazy good" brightly colored illustrations and cartoons on white frosting." So, strawberry with fun designs.

Pink Lemonade (April 2016): "Lemonade-flavored filling inside a golden crust… topped with pink frosting and crunchy pink and yellow sprinkles." Sure, an ice cold pink lemonade is refreshing on a sunny spring day, but as a warm (or room temperature) solid pastry? I'm not too sure about it.

I'm not the most daring Pop-Tart's pastry eater, typically sticking to the bland non-frosted Strawberry, so maybe I'm not the best judge of these five new flavors. What do you think of them?
