> I don't buy sweet treats since discovering they're actually frozen/thawed.

But why, though? Are they less delicious? Less convenient? Obviously not. Do you think the freezing/thawing process destroys the nutrition? Seems unlikely, since they aren't exactly a health food to begin with.

A baked good that is meant to last months in a freezer is often made with more preservatives than a baked good meant to be consumed within 48 hours (as is the case with many baked goods: bagels, donuts, french bread).

It was a dubious value at $5 or whatever per slice when I thought it was at least fresh. Knowing it was not remotely fresh, it was a clear loser in my book.

Even a fresh pastry is just a pile of empty calories. If breakfast is the most importantl meal of the day then no dessert for breakfast for me.

I never ate them for breakfast, but brought them home for dessert. But if it's a frozen piece of junk, I'll pass.
