It was essentially a small electric sandwich grill that presses your creation into little triangular pockets.

I think they’re fairly commonplace now, but whoo boy, it seemed like a real innovation to me at the time. Somehow my brother and I must have convinced our mom to buy one. At least for a few years there it seemed like we were always sitting around after school, cookin’ up some sort of glorious (read: disgusting) pocket creation.

In memoriam, I present a Choose Your Own Sandwich sketch, featuring some of the ingredients that most dazzled my ten-year old tastebuds.

My fave combo probably would have been The Breakfast Pocket: 4 + 5 + 6 + 9 +2

Aside: I can’t even believe it, but the original infomercial is actually on youtube. Thank you, Internet!
