Fact: Hot Pockets actually makes me go to the bathroom more than most other ready-made foods.  ... which is telling about how I wanna go on THIS thread than on a thread about Food Wars.

Then again, Monica Rial makes her Food Wars debut tonight so it's not all bad. ❤️ :3

I've only analyzed a 3rd of last week's lineup so far, but what I'm seeing here is the Hot Pockets commercial tended to be spammed during breaks of FUNIMATION shows! And that was and is almost half the lineup (5/11 shows)! Of course, it will fall to 2/11 in a couple of weeks for the Food Wars marathon...

On occasion we'd see the same commercial air twice on Toonami during a single commercial break. The one was particularly noticeable though.

I am now continuing my list above! Previously, I had counted 15...

Interstitial #4: 3 occurrences of the Hot Pockets commercial. [18 total]

Food Wars: ZERO!

Interstitial #5: Also zero! 

Demon Slayer: Back to 4! [22 total]

Interstitial #6: 4 as well. [26 total]

Black Clover: Surprisingly ZERO!!

Interstitial #7: ALSO zero!

This comes as a bit of a surprise, considering Black Clover is indeed a FUNimation show, but for some reason the commercials ended up during Demon Slayer instead. I have a theory as to why: when the ad time was bought, BC was still at 1:30 AM, and FUNimation was somehow involved in buying up all those add slots in its own shows. Based on that, JoJo should be devoid of them, since Boruto was previously in that timeslot. Shippuden is a toss-up since Gundam used to be there, and Lupin also isn't FUNimation, but I'll bet AOT was full of them. Indeed, I did see a bunch since I actually watched it Saturday night.

Speaking about commercials generally here.  Remember when commercial breaks used to be unique and you'd not see the same commercial more than once during a show, maybe even all night?  Now you see the same fucking commercials over and over, during the same show, even in the same ad break sometimes!  Do they think the viewers are Dory now or something?  What the hell is up with that?  I'm getting really tired of the fucking narcolepsy commercial where the mom passes out and you hear "Mama.. Mamaaaaaa!"

Here it is -

Continuing from above (total so far: 26):

Jojo: ZERO!

Interstitial #8: ZERO!

BUT, Shippuden actually got 2 for a total of 28. 

Interstitial #9: 2--Total 30.

Lupin, Interstitial #10, and AOT each had 2 Hot Pockets commercials for a total of 36!

So did all that advertising inspire any of y'all to go out and get Hot Pockets?
