I was wondering when Hot Pockets would come up again.

/'urp

from another article in the Washington Post:

Spokeswoman Roz O'Hearn said the reported foreign substance _ hard red plastic as well as clear flexible rubber-like material _ might have splintered off from a testing device and some of it could be buried inside with sharp edges.

but Versace Pockets are still ok, right?

wow, I was just about to buy some of these yesterday.. glad i didn't.

are they just going to take them back and throw them in the toilet?

Blackneto: are they just going to take them back and throw them in the toilet?

Cut out the middle man.

I was never fond of the molten hot cheese squirting down the back of your throat.

One of my favorite not-often-seen Fark cliches.

This is news that could affect a great deal of the readership here, too.

notmtwain: the reported foreign substance _ hard red plastic as well as clear flexible rubber-like material _

Actually, that sounds like a pretty good description of Hot Pocket pepperoni.

Oh man.
I love those things.

Hard plastic and rubber-like material just might make them taste better. I'd rather have a Spam sandwich.

World of Warcraft usage expected to plummet.

Caliente Pockets!

/You my friend, have a gift.

This guy is not amused.



/here come the hotlinker.

Recaaaaaaaalled Pockets!

There are foreigners in my Hot Pocket? Dammit, is nothing sacred anymore?

Gut Rockets!

RabidDog: Blackneto: are they just going to take them back and throw them in the toilet?

Cut out the middle man.

How about the second bite that is still ice cold?

I wonder if that was a finger...............

They will be fine.... just sprinkle some Bacon on them.

Bippty, Boppity, BACON!

"Is your Hot Pocket cold in the middle?"
-"It's Frozen. But it can be served boiling lava hot."
"Will it burn my mouth?"
-"It'll destroy your mouth"

Some guys like pepperoni in their hot pocket.....not that there is anything wrong with that.

Yes, I can see the red plastic and the clear rubber-like material.

Came here for Jim Gaffigan, leaving satisfied.

"Dead Pockets"

Did I just eat that.... or rub it on my face?

...stuffed pepperoni pizza sandwich products that may contain foreign materials

That's a little vague.

My husband loves those disgusting things, but neither my son nor I will touch them. In fact, just bought some (the individually-wrapped ones) for hubby's lunch. Better warn him about this, just in case.

Theodore Donald Finch reported to have been treated for depression on hearing this news story.

dennysgod: ...stuffed pepperoni pizza sandwich products that may contain foreign materials

That's a little vague.

I think that's also written on the box as a description.

Didn't it take them forever just to finally come out with pepperoni Hot Pockets? Why do they have such a problem with this? Isn't pepperoni one of the fundamental ingredients of pizza FFS?

I love those things. But hate it when it squirts out the other end.

Doesn't it worry anybody that something that is, in thory, edible and can, in theory, prevent you from dying of starvation is labeled: "BEST BEFORE JAN2010."

What is it after Jan2010? still good, but not "Best?"

I have never encountered these pockets of heat of which you all speak, but I can't say it sounds like I missed much of a culinary treat.

Dr Emilio Lizardo: Doesn't it worry anybody that something that is, in thory, edible and can, in theory, prevent you from dying of starvation is labeled: "BEST BEFORE JAN2010."

What is it after Jan2010? still good, but not "Best?"

I always take the "best before" as an example of: "if you eat it after at least the colors will be pretty."

Soylent Green Hot Pockets?.

Nope, Mt.Dew and Cheeto's are still fine.

Begs to differ.

well isn't THAT an internet gem! good find.

The_Pole_Of_Justice - Wrong, on SO many levels.

/cross-posted from Caturday :)

I had a Pepsi once that had many plastic shavings in the bottom, heard nothing of a recall.

"Take the number of Hot Pockets in the field, (A), and multiply it by the probable rate of red plastic and rubber choking's, (B), then multiply the result by the average out-of-court settlement, (C). A times B times C equals X..."

"If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."

/hacky but I couldn't resist :Þ

AllzLoZT: When you find a hotpocket that's vibrating, nine times out of ten it's an electric razor. But that one time...

No no, "every once in a while" is the line, damnit, I fubbed it.

/one small step

As long as it's not the ham and cheese. Those things rock.

I am concerned by the lack of Jim Gaffigan links and references in this thread.

More reason to never eat hot pockets again (Eww window)

"Each carton bears the USDA mark of inspection. "

Wait...Hot Pockets got inspected and PASSED? Good god.
