Nestlé (Swiss Exchange: NESN-CH) announced Tuesday that it was voluntarily recalling two of the snack products following a widespread meat recall.

The move affects its Philly Steak and Cheese Hot Pockets in three sizes and its Croissant Crust Philly Steak and Cheese flavor in the two-pack box. In total, about 238,000 cases of Hot Pockets were recalled, NBC News reported.

I'm trying to lose weight. I bookmarked this and the previous post and will look at them anytime my appetite returns.

They are also unfit for the roof of your mouth. Sir, would you like that frozen or boiling lava hot? Hotttttt Pocketttt.

I had no idea that our politicians came packaged in that manner.

Now you're just exaggerating.

At least inverted boneless pork rectums have a common use in the United States: making dumplings for Chinese restaurants.

On election day we just break out a new crate of pork rectums.

Pooork Recuuums

So...what could be in them that a snake would like?

[Salamander]

What??

[OldMissileer]

Rectum! Nearly killed ‘im!

[Scoutmaster]

Now you’re just making me hungry, and the closest all-you-can-eat Chinese buffet closed at 10.

Memories of BRD!

I have decided on SPAM sandwiches tonight

If you want Chines just make sure you go to a reputable establishment.

A guy posted cripplecreek's photo on his Facebook page in 2012. The photo was taken in a restaurant in Taiwan, and the pork rectums were to be used for Chinese dumplings.

It caused an immediate, but short-lived, frenzy in the media about inverted boneless pork rectums in the U.S. and the exportation of inverted boneless pork rectums (which are more expensive and labor-intensive, and are chopped) and non-inverted boneless pork rectums (the poor man's pork rectums, which are ground).

Turns out they are used here for the same thing, dumplings - and for hot dogs.

Google 'boneless pork rectums' the next time you want to start your diet.

I don't know why I know these things. It's a curse. Tim McCarver was the last catcher to lead the National League in triples. Stop me before I spew additional useless factoids.

It’s always so hard to find the Inverted kind.

[Guyin4Os]

Is the owner of the company a Republican?

[cripplecreek]

As a society we want everything right now. As my great grandmother used to say, “If you are so hungry that you don’t have time to invert your own pork rectums, chances are getting them pre inverted probably won’t save you.”

d@nggit! ..no hands/fingers!
now if i were a skink..Lizard.

That meat was uninspected... that doesn’t mean unfit inspire of what the government says.

I put odds on that the meat is way safer than any fruits or vegetables coming in from Mexico or South America

Hot Pockets are gross. Never understood the appeal of them. I also never understood Pop Tarts either. How would those be appetizing to anybody?

However, the absolute worst in convenience food has to be those "Lunch-able" snack boxes that kids are toting to school these days. All that packaging for just a few crackers and hunks of sliced processed "cheese" and slimy luncheon meat. So salty too. These Lunch-able boxes could have been sitting in a warehouse since 1982. How would we know?
