Ever wonder what would happen if you zapped your deodorant in the microwave? How about a string of Christmas lights? Or a parfait?
No? Really?
Oh. Well anyhow, the very strange folks at Micro Maniac have now done it for you. Click here to see for yourself — and whatever you do, don’t miss out on the devastation caused by those half-dozen eggs! (Thanks to MetaFilter, by the way, for the link.) And RIP, "crispy dessert bar."

Ugh, thanks for ruining my lunch…
One of my favorite childhood memories involves my aunt, who was then a college student who housesat my parent’s apartment when we took a trip. She wanted to boil an egg in a hurry, so she put it into a half full coffee mug and set it for 5 minutes. The egg blew up the microwave, which sent blackened egg chunks all over the kitchen. We found remants of that in house nuclear disaster for several years that followed.
This same aunt welcomed us home to tell us that she’d crashed the car in an accident she was at fault for. We still give her flak about it at family get togethers some 20+ years later.
Ahh, microwaves.
Oh, and does anyone remember when UW Madison football coach Barry Alvarez’s son got in trouble for microwaving a cat? What was that fool thinking?
Slezak, I really enjoy that you categorized this particular Popwatch under “art”. I don’t know, for some reason this amuses me.
Any way they can microwave every copy of “I Know Who Killed Me”…it can’t be playing in TOO many theatres for too long so it shouldn’t be hard to round it up, stuff it in the microwave and set it on high for 20 minutes.
that was so cool! the x-mas lights were the best, although the eggs had the best explosion XD…. ive seen better stuff w/ marshmallows though. my uncles decided to have a “peeps war” over easter, so they put 2 peeps in the microwave, & stuck a toothpick in each one. who ever had the peep that stuck the other one first won… there was no winner. both peeps exploded before we could declare a winner, but it was really fun! especially seeing the sparks coming from the sugar :p
haha, my boyfriend sent me that same link yesterday. popwatch reads my mind
Mm. I definitely never stuck a copy of the Eagles’ “Hell Freezes Over” CD in a microwave when I worked for a major chain. But if I had . . . it totally would have looked like “Back to the Future” when the car hits 88. *snicker*
That was awesome. Although I do have to agree, Peep wars are a great way to get out of working for 1/2 an hour.
Okay, I know I’m easily amused, but I am still laughing about the Christmas Lights!! Thanks for the link, Slezak – I needed it today!!!
I found the soap to be the most fascinating.
I don’t like you Slezak. You’re hating on my favorite singers all the time. I don’t like you at all!!
Wow. I need a new microwave. I’m now insipired to run a few experiments with the old one before I dispose of it.
I think I was most impressed by how long the little flower on top of the cake lasted. Further proof that royal icing is not food! Ick.
