> This is the same class-action lawyer who sued Kellogs for not putting enough strawberry ingredients into their strawberry poptarts

I'm definitely against frivolous lawsuits, but that doesn't seem like a good example of one to me. "Product isn't what it claims" seems like a totally valid lawsuit.

Exactly. I have no problems with someone going after false or misleading advertising.

Does any brand make a decent toaster ready alternative that isn't just flavored sugar but actually contains a decent amount of actual strawberry filling?

I'll give Kellogg's some credit for having the other fruits listed in the ingredients and making it clear there is very little fruit at all. It looks like strawberry pop-tarts may contain more salt than strawberry.

ingredients on the box says:

wheat flour, sugar, sugar, sugar, oil, sugar, and wheat flour.

Contains 2% or less of wheat starch, salt, dried strawberries, dried pears, dried apples, baking soda/baking powder, citric acid, gelatin, more wheat starch, yellow corn flour, caramel color, xanthan gum, corn starch, turmeric extract color, soy lecithin, red 40, yellow 6, blue 1
