When it was announced earlier this summer that Pizza Pockets would be seeing an elegant new rebranding in the form of “Marché Pizza Pockets,” with “the same great taste,” everyone commiserated over the end of the ’90s snacks as we’d come to know it.

Although the new McCain Marché lineup includes “Harvest Pockets” and “Protein Pop’ables,” Pillsbury did them one better.

Still very much on the good ole Pizza Pockets bandwagon, Pillsbury recently introduced Poutine Pizza Pockets, proving that you really can do just about anything with gravy, cheese curds and fries if you put your mind to it.

It is essentially a pizza pop filled with poutine, except now you don’t even need a fork, which means 50 per cent less napkins. Although, good luck drunkenly opening that wrapper.

Several savvy reddit users have already had a taste of the new snack, dubbing it “absolutely vile,” “nasty” and “really awful,” while one user admitted, “I did it for science, it was not worth it” and another winningly labelled it “Satan reincarnated as a pizza pop.”

And yet, the new flavour was voted on by Canadians last summer, and has recently been spotted on Montreal Superstore shelves. Right alongside it? Butter Chicken Pizza Pops. Very creative, Pillsbury. Attempt both at your own stomach’s risk.
