As you can see it's not an easy issue. Both pastries can and should have frosting/icing and both taste better with sprinkles. The tie breaker (or thigh-breaker for the health conscious) should be decided on the nutrition labels.
POP TARTS (strawberry...double this for the 2 pack from 7-11):
Dunkin Donuts (Strawberry Frosted...also 2 of these because who eats just one donut???):
As you can see, each has roughly 400 calories but the donut has double the fat while the PopTart has double the sugar. Do you see why this is not an easy choice?? And it's made even harder by the fact that they are both DELICIOUS!
Well if you can't decide here...have an Egg McMuffin (or similar egg and cheese sandwich).
Oh by the way...here's the nutrition on that one.

you might want to check your math on that one . . .
It looks to me like the pop-tart has about 600 calories. And the donut doesn't have "double the fat" (pop tart = 24 grams of fat, donut = 18 grams).
Here's a better idea -- eat a piece of fruit.
I guess its back to donuts for me then - who knew that something so tasty could actually be better for you than a pop tart!
To those who left comments on the earlier version of this posting I apologize for mixing up the Egg Mcmuffin and Pop Tart labels. they are now correct.

ok -- but how does a pop tart (17 grams) have "double the sugar" of your selected donut (12 grams)?
And who orders a "strawberry frosted" donut??? Are you a 12-year-old girl?
I choose D. a box of fruit loops...you get your fruit and sugar all in one serving...YUM
