They’ve long said that breakfast is “the most important meal of the day” and since this would usually happen after a good night’s sleep its probably 100% correct. That being said, the fun comedy feature by Jerry Seinfeld called “Unfrosted” tells the tale about the origin of Pop-Tarts. The film will premiere on Netflix in May and the Official Trailer has been shared below along with a massive ensemble cast. Take a look.

Hello again my friends and kind readers of “The Chronicles of Piercing Ken”, I’m back once more to continue along with the findings from last weeks adventure at the Toy Insider “Spring Fling” Toy Preview for 2024. It was held at the Lavan Midtown event space and brought together the industry, the influencers and the media (queue dramatic music). Having been to a number of the Toy Insider happenings at this point I am always trying to present the posts in the best way possible and with the “Spring Fling” have decided to lead with company succinct focuses. Let’s begin.

The folks at LEGO had a wonderful booth that had all sorts of coolness from a number of franchises along with their own creator offerings. I’ll chime in when I feel the need to.
