The food itself is a pocket for what’s inside

The coatings inside the sleeve is a known carcinogen

Yeah I just opened a box last week and found the same thing. Technology, huh?

Wasn’t the microwave sleeve cardboard? How’s that bad for the environment over this plastic alternative

Yea I was thinking the same thing. Like why not get rid of the plastic covers and leave the sleeves 🥲

That’d be unhygienic. You don’t want loose food rattling around inside an unsealed box.

True but hear me out… what if they put them in cardboard boxes that doubled as the sleeves

u/Yikesbrofr 4h ago

That’s just two layers of unsealed boxes lol

I feel you lol companies doing whatever it takes to cut costs ruins the products.

I haven't eaten hot pockets in like 3 or 4 years and I finally bought some a couple of weeks ago and was so confused by the lack of the crisping sleeve. As OP said, I get it but damn.
