Agree to chill over the thermostat - and enter for a chance to win $500 and one month of free HOT POCKETS.

SOLON, Ohio, Nov. 6, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Dads' obsession with the thermostat is legendary. Change the temperature even one degree, and dad — or another thermostat-obsessed family member — will sense it. Don't complain, or you'll be told to just grab a sweater. Which is why this holiday season, HOT POCKETS is turning up the heat and asking everyone to chill.

This holiday season, HOT POCKETS is turning up the heat and asking everyone to chill.

Now through Dec. 15, those who need a break from the battle can enter online at www.hotpockets.com/turnuptheheat for a chance to have HOT POCKETS convince dad—or the person with thermostat-driven Dad vibes in their lives—to chill . Lucky winners will get $500 and one month of free HOT POCKETS.

A recent survey sponsored by Hot Pockets and conducted by Wakefield Research found that 55% of parents have disagreements with their children over the thermostat. Of those parents, 83% said their kids have changed the thermostat against their wishes. In fact, 220 million TikTok views with more than 352K engagements paint a vivid picture—strongly-worded notes, plexiglass lockboxes, security cameras, and thermostats that were secreted away to locked rooms.

"The cultural conversation around dad's obsession with the thermostat is constant," said Bryan Waddell, Brand Marketing Manager, HOT POCKETS. "HOT POCKETS is paying people to put away their strongly-worded notes in exchange for some help with the heating bill, or some enjoyment, this holiday season."

HOT POCKETS are the unexpectedly hot snack that helps you refuel with mouthwatering meats and melty cheese stuffed in a delicious crispy crust. To learn more, visit https://www.goodnes.com/hot-pockets or follow @hotpockets on all your favorite social media.
