'Unfrosted' borrows from real-life events but it is a fictional story of ambition and betrayal told comically. The story is loosely based on the creation of the Pop-Tart pastry as a breakfast option and the corporate war that ensued for the creation of the pastry. 

The official synopsis of 'Unfrosted' reads, "In a time when milk and cereal ruled breakfast, a fierce corporate battle begins over a revolutionary new pastry. A Pop-Tart comedy from Jerry Seinfeld."
