Toaster Strudel is a toaster pastry brand which was originally notable for being stored frozen, due to innovations in 1980s food manufacturing processes.[2] The pastries are convenience food, prepared simply and quickly by heating them in a toaster and then spreading the included icing packet on top of the pastry.

Owned by General Mills, Toaster Strudel is marketed under the Pillsbury brand, formerly of the Pillsbury Company. The product has found considerable success, since being deployed in 1985[2][3] as competition with Kellogg's Pop-Tarts brand of non-frozen toaster pastries.[4] In 1994, the company launched the advertising slogan of "Something better just popped up".[1] As of August 2013, the company increased the foreign branding, launching a brand ambassador character named Hans Strudel, and the new slogan of "Get Zem Göing".[5]
