Hot Pockets were better when they had the sleeve. They got rid of it and then started saying they have improved the product so that it didn't need the sleeve anymore to get crispy. Clearly a cost-cutting measure they are spinning. They tell you to use an air fryer if you want a crispy crust.

This is a surprise to me since I have only been buying knock-off Hot Pockets for years because fuck Nestle.

Fuck Nestlé indeed. I only know because a grocery delivery accidentally got sent to me and I ended up with a big box of them. It will take an entire year of self loathing to get that shit out my freezer.

Sidebar: I don't know who ordered like $300 worth of junk, and one Lean Cuisine, but I hope the person who ordered the Lean Cuisine is doing ok in that house.

Totally agreed, however this isn't a hot pocket. This is a 'Crustini'. They are a thousand times better. The patry is super flaky and almost pastry-esque.
