technically hot pockets are on topic because they need to be microwaved

I am only very recently woke to hot pockets because I was reading an
interview with Jim Gaffigan and they had a youtube video of his hot pockets
routine embedded in the article

I asked my sister if she every tried them and she said they're good

but Jim Gaffigan describes them as "let's take a pop tart and fill it
with some nasty meat"

and "they make vegetarian hot pockets for people who don't eat meat
but still want the diarrhea"

so I'm just looking for other reviews here but I'm afraid I'll have
to try them myself because I'm really curious now

my sister says she likes the cheese hot pockets

Jim Gaffigan is a hoot!

I used to buy the Ham & Cheddar Hot Pockets to microwave as a quick
lunch at work. IIRC they come with a crisping sleeve. I never did care
for the pepperoni ones that pretended to be pizza. I've heard of 'Lean
Pockets' (vegetables and sauce in a crust?) but have not tried them. No
interest.

I haven't bought a Hot Pocket in a very long time. I wouldn't recommend
you waste your money.

You are curious about the world and that's a good thing. Don't listen to what other people have to say about Hot Pockets - find out for yourself. I like Patton Oswalt's shtick about KFC's Famous Bowl. I find that Famous Bowls suits my style - it's like a TV dinner piled in a plastic bowl.

I bought them once many years ago. Nobody liked them. Perhaps a year or so
ago I bought the breakfast ones with eggs inside. They were on sale for
cheap. Again, nobody liked them. I actually don't know anyone who likes
them. Who eats these things?

Even the Bove family doesn't like them??? Imagine that.

More to the point, she bought them a second time and they still didn't
like them.

"On sale for cheap" seems to be a recurring theme. Even if no one likes
whatever it is, at least it was cheap.

Would you rather pay a lot for something you don't like?

I used to keep some in the freezer at work. Acceptable in a pinch. I
tried them about 6 months ago and though they were terrible. Either I
changed or they changed but now would not touch them.

Yes. I generally don't buy stuff like that unless someone requests it, or it
is cheap. I no longer have asst. people in and out of my house. When I did,
and they wanted a snack, chances were good that one of them might eat it.
They wouldn't eat those though.

Not really. Maybe new to where you shop for things no one winds up liking.

That's what happened here. The boxes said "New and Improved".

Dominos pizza used to be terrible. When I lived in NY, it was a staple at
kid's parties. I couldn't believe it because we were surrounded by good
pizza and every place delivered. After I heard a boy comment, "Pizza
again?", at one such party, I vowed never to have pizza at a party. I
ordered Chinese food. Angela's party was a hit. We did everything Asian and
even gave out fancy chopsticks for the kids to take home.

Dominos has since changed their pizza. It still isn't the best but it's the
best that we can get delivered in this area. IMO, there is no truly
excellent pizza here unless you make it yourself.

I believe that would be a variation of a product that nobody liked.

I can understand buying something you like when it is on sale. I just
see the economy in buying something that no one will eat.

They didn't like the pizza ones. At the time, anything I bought with egg was
being eaten like mad. So I bought those.

I had never bought that kind before. How would I know no one would eat them?

Hehehe. Good call! I missed the missing word. I think Dave has been making
moonshine with his oakmilk!

Given the history of your family's dislikes there would seem to be about
an 90% chance they aren't going to like anything new. Combine that with
the unexpected dislike of the other hot pocket I don't know what would
possess you to think they would like the the new product that was on
sale cheap, and likely because they were bad and no one was buying them.

There was no missing word.

Dave, she said anything she bought at the time with egg was being eaten
"like mad". Uh huh. I don't remember anything in her house being eaten
like mad.

The Breakfast version of Hot Pockets also contains sausage or bacon and
always something they call 'real cheese'. I looked them up:

https://www.hotpockets.com/en/products/breakfast

It's apparently a cheap, quick fix freezer thing.

I think she tried to pass some Hot Pockets off to her gardener when he
first arrived on the scene. Heh.

Yeah, there was Dave. The missing word is *don't*. You "don't see the
economy in buying something that no one will eat."

Now they're just messing with you.

Well Jill, I was not too surprised that Julie and her idiot Australian
cousin missed the point. It defeats the purpose to insert something to
denote the sarcasm.

I bought the ham and cheese hot pockets this weekend and tried them
with my kids. Actually one of my kids wouldn't even touch them. I cooked
them in the oven because I was making baked potatoes anyway. I'm not
sure how you can screw up ham and cheese but they taste like plastic.
The pastry was okay - it was the "flaky croissant crust" version. I could
only eat three bites. The kid who was brave enough to try them could only
eat two bites. The rest got composted.

Oh, that's a shame The idea of them sounds so good!!!

I suppose with a nice pastry with good cheese and ham, they would be really
nice.

You could make your own and show everyone what they could be!

yes, an actual ham and cheese croissant would be just the thing
