Science Sort Of Embraces Hot Pockets

That's science for you. Kind of.

Behold: this incredible label printed on a microwaveable convenience-store food product. Have you taken a moment to digest it? Are you amazed that this is really a thing that got printed and sent out on millions of cardboard packages across the country? Are you questioning your faith in science and man?

Question not, ye of little faith. Turns out this ad, which we were sincerely hoping marked a new low in the Pockets family trove of ridiculous things, is actually a part of the new Breakfast Pockets ad campaign, which also includes gems like "Hot breakfast eaters survive bear attacks more frequently than cold breakfast eaters," based on "research done by a space chimp." Bravo, Breakfast Pockets. Bravo.

We are currently awaiting an update from Jim Gaffigan on this new product, but in the meantime:

Too bad some of the bible is based on fact.

NB : I said 'some' - not all.

A great deal of the old testament is arguably based on factual kings and the challenges an early Judaic state was faced with. Embellished in an allegorical sense, but so was Homer's Iliad.

As for the new testament, take it as you will. There is evidence of Jesus existing as a man. I take that the same way I accept Muhammed as a man. Prophets, not Gods. Jesus showed up with a case of wine and saved the party - it's a more likely scenario than the miracle of water to wine.
