What exactly is the point of the sleeve thingy on my Hot Pockets?

I’ve never eaten a Hot Pocket. Am I missing something? [I’ve also never gone bowling or seen a Sylvester Stallone movie.] If I want to break into Hot Pockets, what are the good flavors?

Four-cheese pizza is good. (Never seen a Stallone move either - at least, not all the way through - and I hate bowling. Does that give me enough cred to suggest a flavor?)

The “Limited Time” Spicy Pepperoni & Pineapple Pizza Pocket is quite good. You know, for a Hot Pocket.

The technical term for “crisping sleeves” and the like is susceptor.

I thought after you heated it, you put it back in the sleeve to keep it hot when you put it in your pocket. I guess I was wrong. Some investigation has shown that these are not, as I had assumed, pocket warmers for cold weather use, but some kind of food product. I never would have guessed that from looking at them, or tasting one.

I hear the outer packaging is high in fiber.

Absolutely!!

What we need is McRib meat stuffed into a Hot Pocket.

I want a Spam and Velveeta Hot Pocket,

This one is answered. I could move it to Cafe Society but it’s not that great. Closed.
