Will he be covered with strawberry jam and cremated?

He will be on view with a layer of makeup that's too hard.

Raise your glass and toast him!

You can warm Pop Tarts up in a toaster? Wow. And I was just eating them cold right out of the box all those years.

@Dr. Pangloss - the other day I had to visit my grandson's elementary school. In the hallway, there was a line of small students following a teacher. The little girl at the end of the line had disheveled hair, dragging her backpack, and she was nibbling a cold Pop-tart. I felt sorry for her.

He did more than most for human happiness.

The best remembrance: Dedicate a hospital burn unit after him.

Hopefully, he didn't perish in a toaster fire.

96? Did he get credit where credit is due for inventing the cotton gin?

What about the Mom tarts?

If he’s going to be cremated will they put in him a giant toaster?

The saddest part is, he was only days away from perfecting and marketing "BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN" brand popcorn that you cook in your toaster when the bubonic plague struck him down before his rightful time.

In honor of Mr Post, this 30 year old column from the Blog:
"It was a dramatic moment, very similar to the one that occurred in the New Mexico desert nearly 50 years ago, when the awestruck atomic scientists of the Manhattan Project witnessed the massive blast that erupted from their first crude experimental snack pastry."

A little known fact is that his Pop Tart fame followed his early, failed experiments with croissants.
