hot pockets

Anybody notice that the hot pockets Marriott carries don't have any crisper sleeves? Why not? I have never seen them without crisper sleeves, the technology that actually makes them crispy!

You would think for $4 Marriott can not buy hot pockets from a decade ago.

Did this really need to be its own thread?

Just did a quick search and I don't see it listed as a guaranteed benefit, sorry:

What do you mean by "hot pockets Marriott carries"? When I buy a box from the market, they're always exactly the same as I get in the store. Do some Marriott's have some special Marriott-branded hot pocket?

I don’t know what a hot pocket is, but this is the most interesting thread since oatmeal-gate.

Are you talking about those thing you put in your gloves? Is there a thread for the most useless thing to complain about?

I can assure the OP, whomever is responsible for ordering market items does not care whether the hot pockets has sleeves or not. At the SHS I worked at, the person in charge of ordering was a FDA. Not the FDManager, not the assistant manager, not the general manager, it's all about profit margins. $6 red bull (smallest can btw) only makes since if you only care about profit margins.

Are hot pockets like Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts? I don’t recall pop-tarts having a sleeve...

"Made with 100% REAL CHEESE"
Does this mean the other ingredients are not 100% real?

What is real cheese and what could be fake/false/imitation/counterfeit cheese?

Do grown adults eat this stuff? Were they out of Lunchables and Microwave cups of Mac and Cheese?

Real cheese is cheese. The USDA doesn't stop you from labeling cheese as cheese. The USDA does prohibit the labeling of "processed cheese product" as "cheese."

Yes. But in a way where people still eat them in a self-deprecating manner. Or maybe if you're in college/high school and have no shame.
