You probably don't know the name William Post, but odds are you've probably eaten his greatest creation: the breakfast staple Pop-Tarts.
Bill, as he was known, died on February 10 at the age of 96.
A Grand Rapids man credited with inventing a breakfast staple, Pop-Tarts, has died at age 96.
William “Bill” Post died Feb. 10.
According to his obituary, Post was a Keebler plant manager in Grand Rapids in the early 1960s when he was approached by executives at cereal giant Kellogg’s to create a breakfast food for the toaster.
Post and a team of co-workers then developed the early versions of something he called fruit scones, but which soon became Pop-Tarts. They became an instant hit when test marketed in Cleveland in late 1963.
Everyone has had a Pop-Tart at some point in their life.
Huge.
He could die a happy man. And in case you missed it, here's the story behind the Pop-Tart at the college bowl game.
Here's your crown.
This is so good.
Couldn't resist. This made us laugh. Hard.
May have to get some tonight.
A hilariously touching tribute.
These keep getting better and better.
Same here.
Laughed out loud at this.
Chocolate Fudge or Frosted Strawberry.
We see what you did there. Well played.
If this doesn't happen, just what are we doing here?
We bet people will leave Pop-Tarts on his grave.
Yes, moms everywhere thank you for a quick breakfast.
King.
Dark, but hilarious.
RIP
Life comes at you fast.
Reunited.
We hope so, too. Got to go out on top, really.
