POP-TARTS has confirmed that a fan-favorite flavor was discontinued and some customers say their lives will never be the same.
Chocolate chip cookie dough-flavored Pop-Tarts were ripped from the shelves last year, but fans refuse to go down without a fight.
On May 3, a Twitter user tagged the company and asked why he could never find the cookie dough pastry in stores.
The treat was known for having delicious chocolate frosting with a decadent chocolate chip cookie dough filling.
Despite the fanfare, Pop-Tarts confirmed to the heartbroken user that it was indeed discontinued and apologized for any inconvenience.
The tragic interaction came weeks after another distraught Pop-Tart lover tagged the company and said: "I need y'all to bring back the cookie dough pop tarts my life hasn't been the same since."

It turns out that the flavor has not been sold for three years, and when it was taken off the shelves it started a media storm.
In 2020, a fan started an initiative on Change.org to urge the company to redact its decision.
The consumer Sophia Arnold pointed out that her favorite snack was taken away from her right before the Covid pandemic, causing her to spiral out of control for the rest of the year.
"Ever since I could start eating pop tarts the cookie dough ones were my favorite. They were a great easy breakfast," she wrote.

Arnold went on to say that the toaster pastries improved her mood and provided a pop of goodness with every bite.
In conclusion, she said that her life could be put back on track with the cookie dough pastry that, in her words, just hits different.
Over the span of three years, Arnold has amassed 378 signatures but needs at least 500 to be featured on the site.
The online outrage comes as Walmart fans were devastated when one fizzy drink got the axe.
The brand Clear American sells a variety of seltzer flavors at the big-box retailer.
However, fans freaked out when the cotton candy variety could no longer be found on shelves.
"Walmart I am very upset that you have discontinued or that the brand Clear American has discontinued the Cotton Candy Sparkling Water," one Twitter user said.
"I want it back!"
Walmart's customer service account replied with a link to a page where patrons can provide the company with feedback.
"We suggest submitting a ticket here," the message said.
But shoppers still have many other varieties of Clear American sparkling water to choose from.
The company has flavors like blackberry lemonade, white grape, and cherry limeade available on its website.
There are 33-ounce bottles for sale starting at just 57 cents and 12-packs of cans going for as little as $2.98.
"Whether you are looking for the perfect drink to accompany your meal or want to try something new, this sparkling water is wonderful for both enjoying on its own or using as the main ingredient in a homemade punch," a product description on Walmart's website says.
Those still looking for a cotton candy-flavored drink at Walmart have a few options.
The company has 16-ounce cans of cotton candy Bucked Up Big Game Energy Drinks on sale for $2.48.
Each can has 150mg of caffeine.

Those looking to stock up can also get a 24-bottle pack of cotton candy-flavored pop from the iconic cult brand Faygo.
