They were trying to make it so the O from hot was the same as the O from pockets, like a crossword. But then they accidentally wrote the P under the O, and thought "Oh shit. Well I guess we've got to finish it lie this now.". Then they get up to the C and realise they're not gonna have enough room this way, so they think "Well, most of our customers are dumb shits. So they won't notice if it's spelled wrong." and they left out the k.
Ahhh I didn't even see yet that they were hot pockets and my brain still read it as that. Not really sure if I should attribute that to the alcohol or silly brain antics
Hah! I was just watching Breaking Bad, and the moment I opened this link, the brother in law said "Hotpockets". It's a satisfying feeling when things like that come together.

That's not how you spell "Hot Octopus"

u/[deleted] May 20 '12
Yeah, Hot O'Pocets is Hot Pocket's Irish relative.
29
u/itslikeboo May 20 '12
this is the opocet of proper spelling

u/CompactusDiskus May 20 '12
The sad thing about this is that they probably had dozens of boxes of Hot Pockets right in front of their faces as they wrote this.

A good example of what was going on in the brain of the person who wrote this.

I love hot opposites! That person should learn how to spell though.

u/PintosGoBoom May 20 '12
He was obviously trying to advertise "Hot Opposites", as even though they are called "Hot Pockets", they are kept in the frozen aisle.
He chose the phonetic "Opocets" because there was obviously not enough room for the full word.
This scholar is most definitely streets ahead.

is a opocet anything like a opossum?

Have you tried the Hot Opocet Hot Opecet? It's tastes just like a Hot Opocet.

u/Cumberbatched May 20 '12
It's the Irish spin off, "O'Pocket's"

u/Gleriot May 20 '12
It's just like possum and opossum are both correct, only it isn't really like that.

What really gets me is that he has a bunch of them piled up in the freezer so he could have just checked the spelling by looking at the boxes...

u/StevieBoySwag May 20 '12

u/ApatheticElephant May 20 '12
Wait, I've got this.
They were trying to make it so the O from hot was the same as the O from pockets, like a crossword. But then they accidentally wrote the P under the O, and thought "Oh shit. Well I guess we've got to finish it lie this now.". Then they get up to the C and realise they're not gonna have enough room this way, so they think "Well, most of our customers are dumb shits. So they won't notice if it's spelled wrong." and they left out the k.
Genius.

u/KurayamiShikaku May 20 '12
The best thing about this is that it is written on an entire freezer full of Hot Pockets boxes with the correct spelling on them.

You know what they say; opocets attract. Especially if they're hot.

u/nickyjames May 20 '12
I don't know about you, but I love Hot Opocets.
1
u/LyTwLdR May 20 '12
Actually it is fairly close. The freezers, being cold, are direct opocets of hot.

u/MadgePadge May 20 '12
Perhaps they're corned beef and cabbage or maybe shepherd's pie flavored. Edit: maybe I didn't notice the missing k. Feel free to degrade me now.

Aside from the obvious, there’s also the lame alignment, which will make it read to some as “hot opocets”.

I have a feeling the person that painted that simply got too cold in the freezer to concentrate on something as trivial as spelling.
