I just tried one of those new Hot Pocket Pepperoni and Three Cheese Calzones. The commercials always make it look good. I don’t like their Pepperoni Pizza Hot Pocket but I thought maybe this “Italian Style Herbed Cheese Crust” might make the difference. Um…no. The sauce is still atrocious, I mean you truly can’t get more bland than that. Well, there is taste but it tastes like liquid italian salt. The pepperoni is bland as well and I tasted the crust on its own and it tasted neither cheesy nor herbed. And because I was an idiot and didn’t read the label before I ate it, it counted as 2 servings so it was like eating 2 hot pockets calorie wise…620 calories and 1700mg of sodium!!! Not a happy girl. So for anyone who may have been curious about the calzone, don’t be. Stick with any flavor Hot Pocket but “Italian.”

I can’t believe they give you one calzone “pocket” and expect you to only eat half of it. What are you supposed to do, let half of it spill out onto your plate and scoop it back in so you can save it for next time? Who wants half a leftover microwaveable anything? And if you do eat the whole thing, for 620 calories I will take a real pizza thankyouverymuch!
