How to Consume a Pizza Pop Without Completely Burning off your Tongue

          I'm sure I am not the only one who has managed to singe their tongue on a beautiful cheesy, saucy,soft, meat filled pocket of goodness that has just been freshly microwaved only a few seconds before it is shoved into ones mouth. In fact this happens quite often to not only myself but others I know. Though there are ways of preventing it and they are as follows:

          Firstly I advise you to microwave them in stages- for instance heat it up for one minute and then remove it from the microwave, take a fork and puncture it a few times with the ends so that it can release that hot air trapped inside. Then place it back in and heat it up for another minute.
         
          DO NOT SHOVE IT IN YOUR MOUTH RIGHT AFTER THE LAST MINUTE IS OVER.

        Shoving the Pizza Pocket in your mouth only sets you up for failure and pain. As hungry as you are you must think It just came out of the microwave.... it is going to be hot. Not only will it be hot it will be BURNING HOT. So give it a chance to cool off a little. Pour yourself a glass of chocolate milk because really what better beverage is there? Take a few sips and then fetch a fork and knife.

         With your fork and knife you can slice the pocket in half and then into quarters, possibly sixths depending on the size- this way you will not have the mouth watering filling surprisingly explode in your mouth when you sink your teeth into the pocket. This has happened to me many a time and it ruins the rest of the experience because your tongue is too burnt to even taste the rest that the pocket has to offer you.

        Next you should venture through the fridge for some cheese that you can shred- preferably mozzarella to be melted on top. If you have the luxury of having pre-shredded cheese then be sure to use to use it to save time. Sprinkle the cheese gently over top of the nicely cut pocket and then choose a nice comfortable spot to seat yourself while enjoying your pocket. I usually choose my basket chair because it is the most comfortable seat in the house, it is like sitting on top of a cloud.

        Don't forget your utensiles and chocolate milk! Now you are ready to successfully eat your much anticipated meal of a Pizza Pocket. Indulge and love it. You will find that having pre-cut it eliminates the possibility of burning your tongue and letting it cool was also another contributing factor. That extra cheese is quite the addition and makes your mouth water just that much more.

       You are satisfied and can consume the pocket without the fear of harming your poor tongue.

Success.
