DAILY DELIGHT

A little pick-me-up before you go.

Cold Pop-Tarts are for amateurs. An Ohio mom shared a hilarious Twitter thread after she got a call saying her 13-year-old son smuggled the family toaster into school in his backpack, plugged it in during lunch and started making Pop-Tarts for the other kids. Now, in honor of this lunchtime legend, Kellogg's is buying Pop-Tarts for his whole school after spring break and donating $5,000 to No Kid Hungry in his name. (photo by @ElisaStoneLeahy)
