Hot Pocket Effect

n. When you eat a food that feels great when you're eating it but five minutes later it makes you very tired and bloated. Derived from the title food, Hot Pockets, which are famous for being disgusting and delicious at the same time but ultimately causing a nap to ensue a few minutes after its consumption. Examples include Hot Pockets, Lucky Charms and McDonalds.

I shouldn't have had so many Lucky Charms, man. I'm feeling the Hot Pocket Effect.
