Hot Pockets And Hot Ones Team Up For Hottest Pockets Ever
If sweating while you eat is something you enjoy, you’ll love the new Hot Ones x Hot Pockets collaboration. For those who aren’t hip to the heat, Hot Ones is a YouTube interview show created by online food culture magazine First We Feast. It’s a show that’s notorious for getting celebrities to buckle under the fire of chicken wings doused in the hottest sauces — all in good fun of course.
“We’re focused on pushing boundaries in culture to engage Hot Pockets fans in hyper-relevant ways,” said Bryan Waddell, Brand Marketing Manager. “Our collaboration with Hot Ones combines that brand promise with their unquestioned authority on heat to deliver a truly unique and impactful snacking experience.”
The new Hot Ones x Hot Pockets collab will feature four distinctly flavorful options for fans. Using authentic Hot Ones hot sauces from Heatonist, the lineup includes:
- Spicy Garlic Chicken & Bacon featuring Hot Ones The Classic Garlic Fresno: Perfect for a milder experience with chicken, bacon, and a lively sauce packing Fresno chiles and a punch of garlic to give a sweet heat lift.
- Smoky Green Chile Cheesesteak featuring Hot Ones Los Calientes Verde: A satisfying cheesesteak that turns up the heat with a delicious, smoky blend of serrano and habanero chiles.
- Hot Habanero Pepperoni and Sausage featuring Hot Ones Los Calientes Rojo: A spicy, meaty medley of pepperoni and sausage, sizzling with the flavor of smoked red jalapeños and habanero chiles.
- Fiery Hot Pepperoni featuring Hot Ones The Last Dab: Apollo: Dubbed the hottest HOT POCKETS sandwich ever. Made to light your tongue aflame with the sweet and earthy fire of the Last Dab: Apollo, made from the Apollo Pepper.
This collab comes at the perfect time, as we’re approaching the fall season and colder temperatures. In October the new Hot Pockets will be featured on a special episode of Hot Ones.
You can expect these to hit store shelves nationwide in September. Each will cost only $3.29 except the Fiery Hot Pepperoni & Sausage flavor — apparently, it’s too hot for the frozen food aisle, so will only be available via Gopuff for $5.49.
