Well, the one with sugar sell much faster as more people eat them.
People don't read ingredients. They read what's out in front.
As to why it is legal to sell Strawberry Pop Tarts that don't contain any strawberry is beyond me.
The first line should be: ARTIFICIALLY FLAVORED POP TARTS. The subtitle should be Strawberry flavored.
I understand that it is easier (which translated into cheaper) to create a vanilla flavored compound from oil, but as the consumer it must be plain obvious. It must be part of the text that I read when selecting a product, not when I hold a product and look up close.
Going back to the sugar, another pet peeve of mine is: these sugars not derived from sugar cane or sugar beets but agave and then labeled as natural sugars. It's the same thing. For the most part, it is a gigantic dose of calories that are incredibly bad for you. Same with honey [^1].
How is it legal to sell a product that has >50% the daily amount of recommended sugar?
[^1]: ok technically honey has a higher glycemic index
