Jerry Seinfeld’s Pop-Tart Movie Moving Forward After Scoring $14 Million Tax Credit, This Is Not A Mad-Lib

I’m pretty sure I ate breakfast this morning and I’m not hallucinating this story. I mean, I’m not 100% positive, but here we are. I’m not sure how I missed the news that Jerry Seinfeld was making a Pop Tart movie, but it’s entirely possible that I thought it was a joke. This film is based on a stand-up bit Seinfeld did back 2010 on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” California is giving Seinfeld money to do this project in the form of tax credits — $14.2 million in tax credits to be exact, from the California Film Commission, according to Variety.
The film will be called, “Unfrosted,” which are the very worst of the Pop Tarts. What is the point of those? If I’m making the very unwise decision to eat these things after binge drinking for breakfast, I might as well go all out and eat the crunchy frosting with glitter sprinkles, right? This is being referred to as an “origin story” for the breakfast treat/something I ate in college every day, every meal, for a month. Seinfeld will star in, direct, and produce the film. He also co-wrote the script with Spike Feresten and Barry Marder who worked on “Seinfeld” and “The Bee Movie” with him. Seinfeld told the site:
“We are so happy to get the California tax credit which enables us to make our whole movie there. Having made all of the ‘Seinfeld’ series in L.A., I very much wanted to come back and shoot there again. On behalf of everyone working on the movie, we really appreciate the great welcome.”

‘One’s not enough and three’s too many’
That’s complete speculation on my part. It’s also possible that this is the full plot of the Netflix film. I have pretty good odds of being correct.
I’m not even going to ask why this one got the credits. Munchies, probably.
