Cons
Con Replaced lime (in original Skittles) with green apple
One of the best things about the original Skittles was that all of the flavors worked together. Eating a random handful at once was never a problem as all the flavors could combine with versatility. Now that effortless combination of flavors does not work as green apple has been thrown into the mix replacing the original lime, now creating an odd amalgamation of flavor that just does not work as one.
Con Either cold in the middle or boiling hot
Even when using the cooking sleeve, Hot Pockets never cook evenly. They are either cold in the middle or boiling hot.
