At UCLA I once put an empty can into a microware oven in the self serve lunch room over at Royce Hall. It was absolutely amazing to see what appeared like a full blown electrical storm in miniture inside that oven. It was quite fascinating. The only thing it didn't do was rain inside. The few baked beans left inside the can exploded in one grand finale. It was late at night and I was all by myself so there wasn't anyone in there to share the experience.

Some of the older model microwaves were said to have that effect...But todays microwaves are better shielded...I know several people with pacemakers that use microwave ovens with no ill effects.

I guess I have a permanent imprint of that monster in my head. I rarely use microwaves at a convenience store simply because of that old one I was around for a year. The microwave I have at home is pretty tame though and also much newer.

I don't blame you for avoiding the dreaded convenience store microwaves...they are used and abused until the controls on them are fused...And are updated once a decade.

Just watch out for those convenience store microwaves. Those things are wicked.

Your burrito exploded?

Never had one of those things but I've seen the one in the store I used to work at in my younger days turn burritos from frozen to a blackend and charred mess in 60 seconds.

One customer had a pacemaker, was on the opposite side of the store when someone turned the microwave on and he said that thing was messing with his pacemaker. I have no clue if he was pulling our leg or not but I know that microwave cranked out the power and was a standard model found in many convenience stores. The lights would even dim for a quick moment when that thing was turned on...
