What non-edible items have you microwaved?

[The New AimeeAndBeatles]

I microwaved a CD to see what would happen. Nice light show. Smelled like shit afterwards.

I think the only non-food item I've ever microwaved is a dish washing sponge. I read somewhere that if you zap them for a minute it disinfects them. I don't know if it actually worked, but it's worth trying at least once, right?

Supposedly my cousin was in a hotel with some friend once, and they blew up those mini-shampoo bottles in the microwave.

Spoons and forks but I always realize before anything drastic happens haha.

I've zapped soapy cloths, so I can use them to deep clean the microwave.

BG is always nuking our sponges. I think he got the idea from his Mom. Yeah, supposedly it kills all the germs. :nono3: I guess it works 'cuz we ain't dead yet. lol

there's this cloth thing with rice in it like a big long snake that you microwave and then put it on a stiff neck for therapy.

Aimee, why in the blue hell did you microwave a CD? That sounds pretty damn weird to me.

As for non-edible things I've microwaved - well, let's see. Oxygen. Oxygen is present everywhere and it is present in the microwave oven whenever I am using it.

We have one of those! There's also helpful with tension headaches.

This may be my favorite Links thread ever. Never thought of using a microwave for something other than food, lol!

I have a bear that has a wheat bag in it that you heat up and put back into the bear to act like a hot water bottle!

[SandySunshine]

I used to have one of those too...but I gave it to my mum.

Oh. :nono2:

There is this thermal bag filled with grains that you microwave when you want to put heat on your sore muscles after you swim, bike or walk the neighborhood. That's a nonedible item I've heated in the microwave.

Seriously, though, microwaving CDs seems way out there to me.
