The stupid mistakes I see people making sometimes &#8211; offensive, unnecessary insensitivities. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s like&#8230;pick up a paper, find out what is going on and then just navigate around it!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The former &#8216;Seinfeld&#8217; star has now made his feature directorial debut with &#8216;Unfrosted&#8217;, an upcoming comedy loosely based on the true story of the creation of Pop-Tarts toaster pastries and recalled that the breakfast snack was a favourite of his from his childhood because it was so original at the time. <\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: [Pop-Tarts] just kind of stuck out. There\u2019s like a few things that I remember from childhood that [I was] like, \u2018Wow! I can\u2019t believe they\u2019re giving us that, like Silly Putty and G.I Joe and&#8230;that&#8217;s why Barbie was such a big thing. It&#8217;s like &#8216;Wow, somebody invented a really crazy toy here and the Pop-Tart was the craziest food that I remember. Cereal was a normal thing but the Pop-Tart, it didn&#8217;t have anything to do with anything! It just seemed so space age, and it was great!&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cIt didn\u2019t relate to any other product that they produced. It was hot, it came in these packets, it just seemed so space age, and it was great!
