Hot Pockets Are Apparently Turning Into a Go-To Coronavirus Quarantine Snack Amid Grocery Shortages

Back in August, Amy Duggar told PEOPLE Now that when she was pregnant, "I only wanted Hot Pockets and mashed potatoes." So much so that she made her husband, Dillon King, had to make special trips to the store for her.
"I would fix a whole meal, and she would take like one bite and she'd be like 'No, that's not good. That's going to make me sick. I'll take a Hot Pocket,'" King was quick to add.
In April of 2018, Reality TV star Jenelle Evans took solace in the snack after her ex-husband, Courtland Rogers, was arrested on drug charges.
"Alright, now that I ate a Hot Pocket I feel like I had lunch and can get back to cleaning," Evans tweeted at the time.
Incidentally, after Evans tweeted about Hot Pockets, a fan asked what flavor she preferred. When another user replied with "heroin" amid accusations that Evans was back on drugs, she called the response "disgusting."
There's also the infamous bit from comedian Jim Gaffigan, who in 2005 said: "You can have a Hot Pocket for breakfast, a Hot Pocket for lunch, and be dead by dinner." It turns out, the now-classic joke may have been a major contributor to the snack's declining sales in the years that followed.
