Now there’s a question. At what distance from a nuclear bomb with the heat from the explosion perfectly cook a hot pocket

I'm content to read the results of that experiment from hundreds of miles away.

Drop it right on top of the hot pocket to ensure the proper molten magma temp inside to burn all your taste buds

I don't want to say for sure, but I'm pretty sure there was 2014-ish youtube video about that, might've been one of the Vsauce channels or something. Think they determined that its actually impossible.
