I was invited to participate in an experience with Hot Pockets as a Hot Pockets blogger, and travel expenses, meals and accommodations and other premiums were complimentary. All opinions are my own.
Turning up the heat on the new Hot Pockets brand sandwiches, supermodel Kate Upton and entertainment super star Snoop Dogg have teamed up to reveal the brand new cheeky music video, “You Got What I Eat.” A hilarious remix of Biz Markie’s 1989 hit single “Just a Friend (You Got What I Need),” the music video highlights Hot Pocket’s exciting re-launch and heralds the new and improved Hot Pockets sandwiches which feature premium ingredients like 100% Angus Beef and Hickory Ham, real cheese, and buttery seasoned crusts.
“I love working with the HOT POCKETS sandwiches team. They let me do what I do and bring the funk out with their message you know?” stated Snoop. “We needed to top ‘Pocket Like It’s Hot,’ and this video is so dope. It’s funnier and we got the flyest girl in it with me.”
The video debuted on Tuesday, October 8, on hotpockets.com/HotterPockets, but you can watch it here if you haven’t seen it yet!
What’s all the fuss about?
“You Got What I Eat” showcases a battle between #TeamMeat led by “the Butcher” (played by actor Oliver Cooper) and #TeamCrust led by “the Baker” (played by Snoop). The rap battle plays out in Kate’s dreams, which also feature YouTube star Kevin “KevJumba” Wu, the larger-than-life brand mascot Herbie Hot Pockets™, as well as some surprise guest cameos by broadcast news legend Larry King and another famous pal of Snoop’s. The music video follows up last year’s viral hit, “Pocket Like It’s Hot,” which remixed Snoop’s top single “Drop It Like It’s Hot” and climbed to #4 on the AdAge viral video chart.
“I had so much fun making this video with Snoop, Oliver and the HOT POCKETS sandwiches team,” said Upton. “I love the premium meats and the buttery seasoned crusts of the new HOT POCKETS sandwiches. I’m excited to hear which side the fans pick in this IRRESISTIBLY HOT™ battle!”
