Wesley Discovers Hot Pockets....and Marketing

I don't dwell on it in my daily thoughts, but Wes spends A LOT of time thinking about Minecraft, and does the equivalent of fanfiction for 10 year old boys and their passions.  In this case, it's finding youtube videos about Minecraft, song parodies about Minecraft, and "adults" that youtube about Minecraft as a way to taunt the parents of little boys who say "but you can't grow up to be a Minecraft video star!".  Anyway, his two youtube-Minecraft heroes just made a big deal about how much they love pepperoni pizza hot pockets.  He had to have one so badly that he was willing to spend his own money at the grocery store.

It was everything the marketing had told his brain it would be.  Sigh.
