Did you know?

Did you know that a grape will explode if you put it in the microwave?

I didn't know that but I do know that a fork will spark, a twisty tie will start a small fire, and a potatoe will explode if not poked all while cooking in a microwave. I've done all of those in the last little while...

All were done innocently enough, I put Jenna's food back in the microwave to warm it up again after she had to take a quick potty break during lunch. Only I forgot to take her fork off.

Then, I put some brown sugar in the microwave to soften it. It says so on the bag to do that if it becomes hard. However, it failed to mention that I might want to remove the twisty tie I had been using to hold the bag closed.

The potato was already peeled when I put the potato in the microwave and I thought that it would be OK. I guess I was mistaken...

So, apparently all of those stupid little "informative" bits on packaging isn't really stupid. You know, the bit on grocery sacks that says "This is not a toy..." Or the bit on Viagra or Cialis commercials where the announcer says, "This medication does not prevent Sexually Transmitted Diseases..." Yeah, those should all be no brainers, but sometimes you just can't forsee the stupidity of people... I'm just sayin'.
