There are oddly few good videos of poptarts making huge flames[1]... but I did find one! (edit: same video, but use KennyBlanken's youtube link below instead) https://videosift.com/video/Mr-Science-Strawberry-Pop-Tart-B... Given the description, maybe it's even related to this site?

Honestly that's pretty impressive. I know it says "10-18 inches", but yea... that's 10-18 inches. For a full minute. That's a serious house hazard.

[1]: I expected them to be all over. "Common things making unexpectedly large fires" is, like, 10% of the internet, right? But no, it's just a rare handful of actual matches in a sea of unrelated search results.



Video minus blogspam:

Definitely does look like it was by the same people, and the bit about "waking the neighbors" is a bit of artistic license.
