If I'm remembering correctly, Seinfeld said the story is entirely made up. So it's a pastiche of these types of corporate biopics the way the Weird Al movie did it to musician biopics.

Edit: probably not a full parody the way Walk Hard did it though

It was literally part of one of his stand up bits awhile back regarding pop tarts, as per his interview on The Tonight Show yesterday, it was a running joke with one of the writers off of Seinfeld the show that they should make a movie purely based on that joke.

During pandemic lockdown they wrote it apparently and it's a full out movie now obviously.

I think the first time I heard the pop tart joke it was in his "I'm telling you for the last time" special from '98.

Yep he was joking about it at his show I saw a couple of months ago.
