Mark "12 toes" Marek (born August 1, 1994), known professionally as Hotpocket Mark is a Twitter personality and internet sensation from Lemont, IL. He rose to prominence in 2016 when he vowed to eat seven Hotpockets every day for an entire year. He has received recognition as an unofficial ambassador to North Dakota and a fan of the Hotpocket brand of snack foods



Known for his quirky sense of humor and penchant for tomfoolery, Hotpocket Mark is simply trying to fulfill a lifelong dream of achieving a world record. He is not affiliated with the Hotpocket Brand or paid to work by Hotpocket or any other company. He also maintains that he has not gained any weight or suffered in his health during the challenge.

He is, however, an avid dog lover and Corgi enthusiast. He has dedicated his year long journey to raising money for Paws for Pups, a Chicago-based dog rescue organization that works to find homes for abused and neglected animals.

Mark is also the (un)official #1 Pencil Diver in the Midwest Region of the United States and #4 1/2 nationally. Mark, unfortunately, has been out of action since at least May 23, 2016 due to injury according to conflicting sources. Some say Mark injured his hip flexor, but Mark himself has said he has missed time due to Pencil Diver's Toe (the most common injury amongst pencil divers). However, he has failed to provide any medical records proving his claim of Pencil Diver's Toe, leading some to believe he may be faking his injury in fear of losing his #1 Midwest ranking. He will not be competing in the 2016 Olympic events, but has teased a possible appearance at the summer 2017 Middleton Barbeque Pencil Diving Extravaganza where he will seek the coveted pigs foot trophy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:304:CEBF:9C70:C09D:AD51:7F78:67DD (talk) 01:38, 7 June 2016 (UTC)
