... the products are “unfit for human food.”

I’d pretty much figured that out by simple observation.

If you can stomach a hot pocket, a little tainted meat isn’t going to upset your system.

They’ve been unfit for humans for a long time.

I was really hoping that was a Jim Gaffigan link. You did not disappoint!

Hot pockets - the name is enough to keep me away from it.

Every time I hear “Hot Pockets” it reminds me of a guy I had on my crew.

He sewed pockets on the inside of his coat under the armpits.

He would put his lunch in the pockets while he worked and it was hot by the time lunch rolled around.

The coat got to stinking so bad I paid the guy $3 for it and threw it in the fire.

Needless to say I’ve never had a Hot Pocket.

Jim Gaffigan is hilarious.

He was on Talking Dead the other night after Walking dead.

For the price you pay for that nasty, unwholesome gak you can go buy some real meat and cook it.

The Nestle recall notice specifies "Philly Steak and Cheese" batches with "use by" dates between March 2014 and December 2014.

My youngest likes Hot Pockets, so I checked my freezer. I found a "Philly Steak and Cheese" which I bought last week. It has a "use by" date of Feb 2015.

This indicates to me that the recalled items were made last year, and most likely have already been consumed.

I like ‘em on the bone, myself. Easier to turn on the grill.

Yes, a "use by" date on frozen foods of next month means they were sold a year ago. Wonder how long they knew about it but didn't bother telling anyone.
