Okay, embarrassing story time.
So I have this Bacon Double Cheeseburger from Wendy’s that a co-worker picked up on their trek over lunch-time. By the time it gets back to me, it’s a little cold. I decide, brightly, that a few seconds in the microwave is exactly what it needs.
I go back to the breakroom, toss it in the microwave, set it for 20 seconds and press start. A few seconds later I see what appears to be lightning in the microwave, and the wrapper around the burger lights on fire.
Yes. On fire.
Oh, yes, the wrapper is made of aluminum foil lined with tissue paper.
So, in other words, don’t ever do this.
For those who are concerned, the Bacon Double Cheeseburger is safe; it was rescued in time and is currently enjoying the last few moments of its existence, as we know it.
