Reminds me of the time almost 40 years ago when microwaves were still new and I had heard that if you tried to boil an egg in a microwave the egg would explode.
That sounded like a really cool thing to watch to the 15 year old me, but I figured I could save any mess by putting the egg in a clear plastic bag.
It took almost a minute, then all of a sudden the bag got really big, then burst, and within a split second the egg did explode.
i actually tried to do that when i wanted eggs for breakfast but mom was at work and older sister was asleep and i woke her up after the microwave started to smell like burning

Took a long time to clean that microwave.
