  SPEAKER_00: I had to ask the question because we just found out that apparently Hot Pockets no longer use the crisping sleeve, which really didn't really didn't do what needed to be done with that.
• 0:11
  SPEAKER_00: Except for the corners, which were outside the sleeve.
• 0:13
  SPEAKER_00: They were always rock hard.
• 0:15
  SPEAKER_01: It did incinerate the inside.
• 0:17
  SPEAKER_01: The crisping sleeve never touched the corners, though.

  SPEAKER_01: That's the funny part.
• 0:20
  SPEAKER_01: Never.

  SPEAKER_01: It crisped the corners.

  SPEAKER_01: Yes, and they just they're they oh also once they get a little colder, once they cool down, becomes a rock as well.
• 1:44
  SPEAKER_00: I have some in the freezer that the only thing that's uh happening to them is freezer burn.
• 1:49
  SPEAKER_00: So that's my revenge on those.
• 1:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I love it.

• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Wow.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: And the pretzel ones, oh, so good.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think I think a more of a majority of people, I mean, we're speaking to a segment right here that lived on Hot Pockets and potentially kept you alive for a couple years of your life.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_00: But I think there has been a massive shift.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm gonna bet you sometime in the 2010s, Hot Pockets.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: You know what?
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_00: Do me a favor, Google um, how do we how do we Google this?
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: What did you want to ask?
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: Are Hot Pockets profitable for their guys?
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: Because I'm wondering when the decline started.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: Because like I said, 12 and 7.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_01: No, no hot pockets.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_01: One of the things that first comes up, are hot pockets bad for you?
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: Well, um I mean, I suppose you could type it in uh you didn't you didn't type it in are they good for me, so you'll get an honest answer.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: Hot pockets generate over$1.2 billion in annual revenue, and they have a profit margin of 30%, which is why they keep them.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: I guess I would have liked to have seen was there somewhere where it changed, like around 2010, they took the dip of the city.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, I'm sure.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: You need to have that younger audience to sustain the future.
• 3:20
  SPEAKER_00: Or single guys.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_01: I also think well, that's the same with how when's the last time you ate a microwaveable meal?
