This reminds me of the Melt-Downs commercial where the insane principal annihilates the intercom over a parking space…
But I don’t know why…

I just ate a Hot Pocket, and thought the same thing!

Have you ever eaten one? Even when it is boiling lava hot, there always somehow manages to be that one little frozen bit still in the middle. I can’t explain it, but it always happens. To me, anyway. :\

it’s not a ripoff if the whole point of the site is “Music and culture in chart form. Can you explain music and culture in charts?” …reading FAIL!

I see you got some inspiration from Jim Gaffigan.

By: Ninjinister

I don’t even know who this Jim Gaffi-whatever is, but I have complained about this very hindrance for about 10 years. Does that mean he ripped ME off? Doubtful.

You’re supposed to let it sit, to let the heat soak through.

Being a stickler is fun!!!

My advice is to cook on it lower power for a longer time. That usually works out well for me.

If this is the reference for this graph, than it’s a petty crappy graph.
Why would something be frozen AND lava hot in the middle?

By: Rohvannyn

Rohvannyn — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 09:19:10 +0000

If indeed this is in relation to the comedian, then I suppose he should be mentioned. But on the other hand, hasn’t everyone who has cooked Hot Pockets encountered this problem at some time or other? It doesn’t have to be a ripoff, but it still can be funny.

(I don’t get this problem when I rotate them, but mine always rupture. Love the little reflector sleeves that come with the high-end pockets.)

4th grade 3-paragraph research papers need source credit. I think a mostly adult-contributed site should have it. Even if it’s just for fun, it’s published and so was the original.

By: Sunshine

Sunshine — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 02:50:50 +0000

Doesn’t matter to me, it’s wonderfully laid out. But GJ should put the credit up under it.

Now the ubercrud XKCD one with the escalators, that I mind. That ruined the joke from the comic. But if you do it well and credit, I don’t care.

if your pockets/pizza pops are frozen in the middle, just poke holes in the middle with a tooth pick. thats what i do

By: Jefoid

This graph is true. I believe that cheese is the ultimate insulating material. Homemade pizza is still scalding hot a half hour after it comes out of the oven. I have the scars to prove it.

Maybe you should get a better microwave, or learn how to cook them better.

But how can anyone eat a hot pocket?

By: papajon

papajon — Tue, 09 Jun 2009 18:05:51 +0000

Read the directions me thinks. I’ve never had this problem.

Pop-tarts in the toaster, on the other hand, should be classified as too dangerous to handle by humans.
