Hot Pockets “Mmmm, So Hot!” Ad

In this silly spot for Hot Pockets, some guy brings his sister over to his apartment to meet his roommate, and as he enters and introduces her, his roommate bites into a pepperoni Hot Pocket and exclaims: “Mmmm, so hot!” And while his friend is offended, his sister is ravenous (she must be to do what she does next), and so she walks over and takes a bite out of the other end of this pepperoni Hot Pocket, proclaiming: “Mmm, that is hot!”

But anyone who has ever eaten Hot Pockets will know this is not a realistic scenario whatsoever, because when you bite into a hot pepperoni Hot Pocket, lots of that bright red pepperoni oil drips out all over the place, and so in real life, she’d have burning hot red oil stains dripping all over her shirt (or worse), and she would most likely not be happy about it. So the one they’re biting into must be either a cold or a room-temperature Hot Pocket, and they’re just pretending it’s hot.

From my experience, people eating freshly cooked Hot Pockets don’t bite into them and say: “Mmmm, so hot!”, but rather, they say: “Ow! Holy f&%ing s#*t! I just burned my mouth!” Because, you see, the inside is always a lot hotter than the outside. And I mean the temperature.
