Hot Pockets. Essentially high-fat hand pies, sold so you could pop them in the microwave and eat them in your car. And because it’s a pastry and should be crispy, they had cunning little origami quasi-metal sleeves that would supposedly crisp the pastry in the microwave without making the microwave spark.
Well, now we have air fryers, so evidently, the sleeve? Is gone.
This happened sometime last year. The box says it was because they wanted to be eco-friendly, but we know better. It was the advent of the air-fryer.
Of course now sleeves are selling at a premium.
Forty dollars for a “vintage” Hot Pocket sleeve.
What else would one expect from a fancy Swiss company?
Société des Produits indeed.
