In defense of the Pop Tarts, I would have to assert that the pop tart is not a single item, but an entire food group.
You may be able to group the S'mores and Frosted Cinnamon flavors into one category, the Chocolate Fudge, Chocolate Vanilla Creme, and Hot Fudge Sundae into another category (Chocolate Chip getting a category all to itself), the Frosted Berries (Strawberry, Blueberry, Raspberry, etc) into a 4th, the the Unfrosted Berries into the trash, Wild Berries into a 5th, etc., but I cannot believe that you would lump the Chocolate Vanilla Creme and the Frosted Strawberry into one homogeneous category.  Methinks the solution is to ensure variety in Pop Tart category resupply.  Thus, you will circumvent the apparent repetitiveness, and ensure a tasty variety.
