What would you do with 3,000 Hot Pockets?

UPDATE: Although it's still a good question, the guy in Weymouth was pranked and does not have 3,000 Hot Pockets.
Some guy down in Weymouth claims he has 3,000 Hot Pockets left over from a convenience store he just closed and wants to give them away for free.

I had a Hot Pocket.
Once.
It was gross.
I gave up on 'You can microwave it in 30 seconds'
convenience foods many years ago, as I found they are all pretty bad . And, based on my sole experience with one (a classic "what was I thinking" moment), Hot Pockets are clearly mislabeled - they should be called "Boiling Pockets" instead.

pretty sure the person who owns that phone number is going to have a loooong nite. do you have to verify your number on craigslist or can you just post the number of someone you hate or want to prank..?

That did sound like too much inventory for a convenience store
If they'd toned down the quantity it might have been more believable. Maybe.
If you have that much
If you have that much inventory, that should give you a pretty good sense of how good you are at running a business.
Common Hack
This guy got lucky, but others have been scammed by people before by people using Craigslist in similar ways. It's surprising CL still posts phone numbers without confirming they belong to the person who posted the ad first.

Easy: build an addition to your home, like Pee-Wee did
with fruitcake on his Xmas special.
You're not going to find many
You're not going to find many readers on this snob-o-torium of a website who will eat hotpockets. C'mon, they're better than that. Everyone on here think their shit doesn't stink and that they are better than everyone else. This starts with the site leader and it then trickles down to all his minions.
That isn't the issue
I bought some when Market Basket had them on sale when I happened to be shopping for my then teen sons' MtG-themed birthday party. The joke was too much fun to pass up. They loved it when I brought them Hot Pockets in their game lair. Their friends still laugh about it, and yell "Mom! I need a hot pocket!" as a running joke.
They aren't that bad. This is true. But let's be honest: this is Massachusetts, and the local pizza joint can deliver fresh, likely high quality pizza to that same basement for a similar price. Why would you bother with a hot pocket?
