Terrible Marketing - Hot Pockets

Good God, have you seen these things?



I know Hot Pockets aren't generally marketed to picky eaters, but could you make these things look less appetizing? They look like the little cartoon guys were photographed just as they began to vomit.




How bad could these things really look in real life that vomiting pastry men was a preferable alternative?

Holy shit! Really? Okay, dough balls with stomach flu does make a lot more sense now!

Uggghhhh!!! People really eat these things? I've eaten 7-11 meatball sandwiches, frozen grocery store egg-rolls, I'm not what you call a fussy eater. But dear Lord, even I have limits!

And speaking of Hot Pockets. . .
