Wait - they have pop-tarts in Romania?

No. I'm pretty sure we don't have pop-tarts in Europe. Maybe in the UK, but they're not really Europe anyway.

I was travelling through Romania last summer and saw a middle aged man measuring the surface area of a living room with [what looked to me as being] chocolate and marshmallow Pop Tarts. I'm unsure if this is standard practice in the less developed Eastern European countries because Pop tarts over here cost a fortune, surely there are cheaper ways of doing this?
 
He wasn't measuring the floor.  This is indeed common practice all over Europe by people having heated floors and broken toasters.
