They don't just melt, they grow! Yeah, you can't really appreciate it with the dull, white marshmallows. It's more fun when you're watching the yellow birdy things growing 4 times their size.

Why does most of the stuff on the "Do Not Attempt" list involve microwaves?

Oh! Oh! And try sticking marshmellow peeps in there, too! I got only got to do it once when I was 9.

Jamey and Adam did that on "Mythbusters", to prove once and for all that a microwave WILL NOT EXPLODE if you put metal in there. They got no reaction at all from eating utensils, or from a smooth piece of foil, but when they crumbled it up, Oh boy! It CAN, given enough time, damage the magnetron in the oven, but it will just stop working, not blow up. It was fun to watch, though!

I was one of those people who seriously thought sticking metal into a microwave was gonna make it explode. It's awesome now, but it really scared the $^*! out of me when I thought I was gonna set my kitchen on fire.

I had a friend that put a frozen soda in a microwave. It destroyed it. Ooh and don't light your shorts near your groin region on fire... it may look cool, but it can be dangerous. Sadly that was all friends doings, I never do dangerous stuff. *tear*

yep, another good episode

and about the peeps, we do microwave them, but stick toothpicks in the side facing each other and rev the microwave, they grow and try to stab each other starting the ever popular "peep wars"

Never stick a remote controler in the mircrowave. A firend's father one time spilled soda on a remote so he rinsed it off and put it in the microwave so it would dry faster. He ruined the controller and the microwave.

Never light a cup of gasoline on fire underneath a tree during a drought. My father left a gallon of gasoline out one summer day where my brother and I (I was about 8 and my brother was 12) were bored and our parents were at work. Greg and a few of his friends were in the backyard playing with their gameboys until one of them brought out a lighter. They started chatting and lighting leaves and paper on fire. Eventually they poured some gas into a plastic cup and put it on top of the picnic table. I was playing with the hose luckily when they threw a lighted piece of paper at the cup and there was a giant burst of fire, it caught a low hanging tree branch and by then they grabbed the hose from me and put the branch out. It was scary (and my Parents never found out.)

Never boil gasoline. It will boil over the pot, flow down the sides, hit the burner or flames you're using to heat it up and explode.

Never plug keys into a socket. Okay, everybody knows not to do that! But I was 6 or 7 when I did this. What happened was, I remember being in my room sitting on my dresser while playing with some random keys, mom was in the kitchen. When I say random, I mean the keys never really went to anything we owned, plus they were mine since I liked colecting keys, and still do. Anyway, I thought It'd be cool to plug the keys into the socket just to see what it would do. Keep in mind, the socket was right next to me, myself sitting on my dresser.
Well, sparks flew, the socket exploded, and I think the lightbulb either dimmed or blew, I can't remember. So mom comesrunning in wanting to know what happened. She freaked out when she saw the keys in the socket.
The keys were black, but I came out absolutly unharmed. It didin't hurt me.
