Hot Pockets

Hot Pockets is a microwaveable turnover brand from the United States that often contains one or more varieties of cheese, meat, or veggies. Chef America Inc. is the company that created Hot Pockets. Nestlé has been producing them since April 20, 2002.

Hot Pockets, a hand-held snack, has become a frozen dinner staple in many families. Chef America Inc. created the brand when brothers Paul and David Merage came up with a way to mix a sandwich and a calzone that would stay crispy after being microwaved for minutes.

The Hot Pockets brand was sold to Nestlé in 2002, and the frozen meal category was estimated to be worth $2 billion. Hot Pockets changed its brand multiple times in the 2000s, removing artificial flavors and lowering salt levels in their goods in order to promote a healthy image to consumers.

Despite the fact that Hot Pockets' early income projections were not met, it remains one of the most popular frozen meal brands in the United States.
