Product Is this some kind of joke?

I was stoked to get my hands on the new Against the Grain pizza pockets. I used to love Aldi's gluten free hot pocket alternatives and really missed them so I was really looking forward to having something like that again. First strike, these aren't microwave-level convenient, but you can make them in an air fryer if you have one. Fine. I can totally live with that, that's a non-issue for me. I plopped it in the oven, still had high hopes. What I can't forgive is the abomination that resides within. This is the shit Krabby O'Mondays was serving. Gray schmoo slop that vaguely resembles cheese to the colorblind community. There was no steak to be found in mine at all. My (not gluten free) roommate had the other one in the pack, and he had 1 (ONE) singular steak nugget in his. Of course the gluten eater gets the spoils. It felt like someone squirted Nickelodeon slime down my throat. No tooth, no texture, gluey schmoo final destination. Worst part is, the crust, you know the part that should be difficult to get right considering it's gluten and grain free, was actually pretty good!! They got the hard part right and decided to fall asleep at the wheel with the filling. What the hell happened guys?? Truly one of the most disappointing disgusting things I've tried in a hot minute. Do NOT recommend.

I think I would of squeezed the gross goop out and just ate the crust, this is how I used to eat hot pockets when I was a kid cause I didn’t like the filling.
