    The past two Insomniac Nets have featured questions about some popular food choices -- including some "fast foods".
    For our fast Net tonight, we are asking questions about one of the most popular "fast foods" for eating at home: HOT POCKETS.
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question  
    So, let's get Susceptor-ing*!
++ "Heated Pockets" ++
Question #1: When did the first HOT POCKET product officially become available in grocery stores?
        A. 1983, or
        B. 1984, or
        C. 1994
"1983: HOT and blazing a trail, our yummy hand-held sandwiches officially land in grocery stores. The revolution begins."
[SOURCE: caption taken from PHOTO (below): history-infographic-hot-pockets]
Question #2In 2009, a HOT POCKETS "mascot" figure was created. What was this 7-foot tall "mascot" named?
        A. HERBIE HOT POCKET, or
        B. HOTTIE HOT POCKET, or
        C. HOLLIE HOT POCKET
"2009: HERBIE HOT POCKET is born!
He's a seven-foot tall triple threat who fights hunger, stops bullying and dances like a rock star.
The world is forever changed"
[SOURCE: caption taken from PHOTO (below): history-infographic-hot-pockets]
Question #3: AS of 6:00PM PT tonight, there were 59 different HOT POCKET items available for your enjoyment -- True or False?
        A. True, or
        B. False
True -- Checked by K7LWA on HOT POCKETS' Product page -- please count them yourself!
[SOURCE: HOT POCKETS' Product page]
*Every Hot Pocket needs to be microwaved inside a little cardboard sleeve that’s called a susceptor.
The purpose of it is to absorb microwaves and concentrate more heat onto the Hot Pocket — in a sense “broiling” it so the crust becomes crispier.

    Thanks to you all for playing along -- it was a lot of FUN for us. Hopefully, you had fun too!

    For tonight's Trivia Net -- we hope you can help LW complete CROSSWORD PUZZLE #34 by giving us the correct answers for the CROSSWORD CLUES presented.
    A picture of this crossword puzzle can be found on our Blog (here).
    So, please read the Question/Clues carefully -- and even if you don't like crossword puzzles -- you should be able to give us the correct answers!
    (Er, uhm, could there be a trick or 2 to help you figure out the right answers?)
    Please choose your answers from any of the 3 (reuseable) answers of "A", "B", or "C" (if applicable!) for each question  
    So, let's go -- HIT THE Chair Monster, HIT THE PTT or Node, and then HIT THE Net with your answers!
++ "Crossword Clue Hits" ++
Question #1The 9-letter crossword answer for the 36 DOWN ACROSS clue of "GO TO BED" is...?
        A. "HIT THE FAN", or
        B. "HIT THE MAT", or
        C. "HIT THE HAY"
            "GO TO BED" = "HIT THE HAY"
Question #2The 10-letter crossword answer for the 53 DOWN clue of "GET DOWN!" is...?
        A. "HIT THE SLOPES", or
        B. "HIT THE G-SPOT" (i.e., Grounding-SPOT), or
        C. "HIT THE DECK"
            "GET DOWN!" ="HIT THE DECK"
Question #3: The 11-letter crossword answer for the 94 ACROSS clue of "GO DOWNHILL" is...?
        A. "HIT THE BOTTLE", or
        B. "HIT THE ROPES", or
        C. "HIT THE SKIDS"
            "GO DOWNHILL"="HIT THE SKIDS" -- a little tricky, but "HIT THE ROPES" often will keep you from going all the way down (hill)!
