At-a-glance

   OH MY GOD LOOK OUT!  The microwave explodes, after putting a carrot in it. A very good question to consider:  Why in the name of Sam Hill did I do that in the first place? Well, I wanted to make a snack, wasn’t my fault.

   Now, that was just one of the things that I should have not ever put into a microwave, and yet I did. Yes, I have had many experiences when it comes to microwaves exploding in my face.  Another good example is the situation with grapes. Yes, those little fruits you eat as a snack. You love them. You eat them, you juice them, you make jelly out of them, and you dry them to make raisins. BUT, they’re not microwave friendly. When I was a little boy, I had the dumb idea of putting grapes in the microwave. Yeah, they caught on fire, and on top of it I made plasma! Man, was my mom P.O. to the fullest.

   Then there was the time that a CD became the victim in my evil quest to destroy ordinary objects. Imagine this: You have a sister who gets on your nerves and breaks something that you own. What do you do? Sit there and cry? No! You fight back. My sister had a favorite CD, and I thought, “If she broke one thing that was mine, I’m going to do the same to her.” So I took her CD and put it in the microwave. And what a show it was, people! Static was everywhere. My sister cried, and my other sister laughed. Alas, my mother was yelling at me. Overall, it was pretty funny. My sister never got to listen to her favorite songs again, but at least she got her “biggest hit”!

   When I was 12, I had a bar of soap in my hands. So? Anyways, I was bored so I thought of putting it in a microwave. I opened the door, plopped the bar of soap in the middle of the oven and closed the door. Not even 30 seconds after starting the microwaving process, bubbles started forming. In the end, I had a microwave full of hot bubbles and an angry mom and dad. It was fun though … bubble time!

   One final incident that happened to make the microwave blow had to do with cheesy-filled hotdogs. I remember it was a winter day and I was at my cousin’s house. He had a pack of hotdogs, and I was hungry. My cousin told me NOT to put them in a microwave. I didn’t listen to him and was about to get a cheesy surprise. I put the hotdogs in a microwave; all of a sudden, the hotdogs bloated up, and then BAM! Not only was the microwave blown out, I was covered in hotdog remains. What did my cousin tell me?   “Told you so.”

   So I guess I’ve warned you of at least some things that shouldn’t be put in a microwave. Anybody who wants to try and blow their house up, go right ahead. But listen, don’t blame me for your stupidity or any deaths involved. And don’t get the Mythbusters involved either. Later!
