Italian flavor. Would be interested to see others

this is tragic for them being like 6$ for 2

My daughter's go-to lunch/snack was 1-2 hot pockets. They got rid of the sleeves and it was no longer an option. She's autistic and it sucked losing it as an option. I reached out to the company that makes them to see if I could buy the sleeves and got a basic message explaining why it was awesome they got rid of them. Recently I randomly searched Amazon to make sure I wasnt lying in response to a question and discovered a product on Amazon that supposedly replaces the sleeve. I bought it, and am using it, and so far it's like being back to normal. I am not going to link the product because I dont want someone to think im involved with it but you can find it. I am posting this to let people know there is a fix finally. This reopened a food for my daughter. I am psyched.

Wild work honestly. We’re just supposed to eat soggy hot pockets now? Don’t even get me started on how it’s not a handheld anymore because this thing is finna be way too hot to hold…

I used to like eating lean pockets and they're gone, I want them back

I noticed it at first with the big sams club sized boxes. But then soon realized that all of them dont have them. Who thought this was a good idea? And are they planning on brining it back. Because dont get me wrong I understand saving costs and stuff but I mean. It's just sad what used to he a great crispy snack it just looks sad, and floppy, and almost feels like im eat raw dough in comparison to was they originally used to look like after cooking. Seems like the only way to get that crispy feel is by cooking in fryer/oven. Just sad about it

I remember the days when hotpockets had these cardboard things, or sleeves whatever u wanna call it. I was making hotpockets yesterday and I asked my sister about it and she said she did(14) but she didn't remember it to much bc she was younger. My younger cousin (4) was saying that it never happened. so me and the lil man got into this playful kinda heated argument. u know the feeling when ur just arguing with a kid and u know ur right but its just this playful kinda argument? with no heat in it? it was one of those lol it was like an actual argument or anything like that lol. it did get me thinking tho on why they took it away. does anyone know why? it just quietly went away. in one box it's there and then suddenly the next it wasnt and since that box those hot pocket huggers were never to be seen again! I mean granted there weren't the most helpful thing out there. it just protected ur hands but not ur mouth and depending on the kind of hotpocket u had. the filling would leak out and create this big old mess🤣 so not only do u have a soggy Carbord but u also have a messy one too🤣 sometimes it falls apart and others u think u get lucky that its cooked all the way through for once, and not a leaky mess bc the cardboard looks perfect only to realize. IT DIDN'T GET COOKED! the frustration on those things connected so many generations that now the younger ones won't get that experience! and its not like u can put it in the microwave without the hugger(I mean u can it works try it🤣) bc ur mom,dad,grandparent or really any adult would get onto u bc they thought it would make a huge mess in the microwave! or they r just so keen on the instructions 🤣 but ya anyone else noticed this? why must they take it away after having it for so long?! the kids these days won't understand! and tbh i feel kinda old remembering it(im 21) with my younger sister kinda sorta remembering and my baby cousin thinking im lying about it. 🤣 the times have changed but that was the kind of suffering that connected everyone🤣🤣🤣🤣 WHERES THE HOTPOCKET HUGGER!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 And for any of u kiddos who dont know it. here's what it is. and today's side by side. (the pics r from google lol)

I don't have any teeth, so I need to eat soft foods and I remember eating hot pockets constantly a few years ago. They were normally pretty soft, but the ones I've been making recently are hard on the bottom and sides. I tried to spread butter on them to soften them but it didn't work.

I saw some people saying to wrap it in a paper towel, but don't know if that actually works. If it does, should I use a damp paper towel or a regular one?

Are there any other ways, if paper towels don't work?

I use a microwave.

So we put Cheese in your Cheese (cracker) so you can eat cheese while you eat cheese.

Where i work just got these in and it feels just a tad ridiculous. Still plan on trying them. I do love me some cheddar.

Been eating the new ones where it doesn’t have the sleeves and 30% more pepperoni and it taste bland now. The texture and how much cheese there is decreased so much. These were my struggle meals and now it just taste bad 😞

cooked and got halfway through the pocket before I realized it was empty. common hotpockets. send me a free box

Has anyone EVER seen a 1 pack?

I think I got the limited edition windows

I grew up eating ham and cheese hotpockets but I haven’t had any in several years. They were on sale so I thought why not. There is almost no ham in any of these hot pockets. Maybe 5-6 small squares throughout the whole thing. This is fucking ridiculous, hotpockets should be fucking ashamed to sell shit like this but shame and integrity are just going more and more extinct while greed rampages.

Since they took away the second barbecue beef, I haven't purchased a single Hot Pocket.

I'm probably the only one protesting the removal of BBQ beef, lol

Not a fan of pepperoni pizza or ham and cheese, and that seems to be all they're pushing these days.

I see so many freezers at the different stores with just those two in stock. Maybe a breakfast one here or there.

Wish they would come up with a variety of options. But I get that it's all about their bottom line.

all i wanted was a hot pocket. i bought some on my way to work and they were $8 for four which is ridiculous. where is the two pack??? but i was craving one so i bought them. i’m having the worst day ever, pete alonso didn’t sign with the mets and all i can look forward to is my hot pocket. i open it up on my break and there’s no sleeve. HOT POCKETS WERE GREAT BC YOU DIDNT EVEN NEED A PLATE. YOU JUST USE THE SLEEVE. i used to eat them on my way to work. it was so easy. there’s no garlic butter crust. the crust is soggy and wet and sad and pale. it falls apart as you eat it. it’s smaller than it ever was despite promising you somehow get more than before. i am exhausted. everything now is like: “here’s something you loved that was accessible and cheap. now here’s that thing but smaller, more expensive, and way fucking worse!” the back recommends i use an air fryer. why do i have to buy another appliance to enjoy something that’s been perfectly fine for YEARS????

for the same $8 i can get two calzones from the pizza shop near my job. they’ll be buttery and crispy and fresh. hot pockets appealed to my working class family bc they were so cheap and quick. they hit a spot bc i used to eat them all the time. now im just wasting money for something that doesn’t even resemble what i used to love.

it’s hard to not see the world as akin to the hot pocket. what once was golden, garlicky, and buttery is now pale, grey, and bland. i’m just going to withhold my money from everyone and everything from now on. i will make everything myself and support small businesses. this greed is destroying everything.
