Don't try this at home.
We're what you call "experts."
Really?
Yeah!
Hello, and welcome to "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?"
I'm your guest introducer, Ian Thayer, but some of you probably know me as "Tweeterman287."
I know my fans know me for my tech reviews, but today, we're gonna microwave something.
But I think I'm gonna leave this one to the experts...
We're gonna microwave a thing of Jiffy Pop popcorn.
Why? Well, since it says all over the packaging not to microwave it, we're gonna do just that!
But here's to hoping you guys don't have another near-death experience again!
*theme song plays*
Jory: It smells like victory!
Jory: All hands to the deck!
Jory: Nobody likes roasted nuts!
Jory: Let's get outta here!
Jory: Ventilation is key!
Jon: What're you doing?! Put that out!
Jory: Stopping, stopping!
Jory: The masks- they do nothing!
Riley: The tin foil shield- it actually works!
Jon: Does it still work?
Jory: You're dumb!
Jory and Riley: 2.6!
Jory: Is it a good idea to microwave this?
Let's find out! Here at the Jory Caron Laboratory, safety- we've thought about it...
That's why we hide behind this giant tin foil sheild. It's to protect our nuts, because nobody likes roasted nuts.
Jon: What're you doing, Riley?
Riley: Not roasting my nuts! Keeping everything protected!
Because, technically, this [beep] does nothing!
*sound of popping popcorn*
We also have these fans, to circulate the air.
And, as always, our Panasonic microwave, Penny.
She's served us well, even though she's only served us once!
Jon: That's what your mother said to me last night!
Jory: So, let's go ahead and put this Jiffy in there.
Jory: Okay. Hmm... I wonder how long I should put it in there for?
Jory: Does it have a popcorn setting?
Jon: Popcorn!
Jory: It does!
Jon: It's probably going to be automatic, though, so I would say, just do 3:33.
Jon: Get outta there! She's gonna blow!
Jory: I sure hope the popcorn setting is long enough for the popcorn.
Jon: Oh! I saw somethin'!
Riley: That's probably that metal thing.
Jory: Well, I mean, the whole pan is metal.
Jory: It pops every time it spins around in this direction.
Jon: Whee!
Jory: It's probably when the handle touches the side.
Riley: The microwave side?
Jon: That's interesting.
Jon: Watch- it'll hit it again... right... now...
Jon: What about the popcorn?
Jory: I don't know. I have to add time to it.
Riley: Goggles and masks on!
Riley: Soldier, are you ready? Go! Go!
Jon: Move, move!
Jory: I can't see anything! I can't see anything!
Jon: Put the lights on!
Jory: There's no minute plus!
Jon: Make it happen!
Riley: You have to clear the time!
Jon: Get outta there!
Jory: There's no light! I can't see! I can't see!
Riley: I can't see anything! I can't see anything!
Jory: Oh, it's spinning in the opposite direction now. How do microwaves do that?!
Riley: Wait- what?!
Jon: I think they just alternate every time. I think that's really all it is... It's pretty simple.
Jory: Okay, let's go and see...
Jon: Put on the fan for a few seconds. Let's let it air out, fellas.
Jon: Explosion!
Riley: Oh, you can see where it was touching over here.
Jon: Is that where it was making contact on every pass? That little black spot?
Jory: Then again, it's inside of a metal thing, and metal does reflect the heat.
Jon: I wanna see something happen. Open it, and put it back in!
Riley: This will totally change it now!
Jory: Now, let's put it in there like that. There we go. Let's put that on for a popcorn cycle.
Jory: See? There we go!
Jory: Now, we have some dancin' in there!
Jory: Then again, this will probably shoot sparks out of the bottom of the microwave, kind of like the spray paint can.
Jon: It's almost done, guys.
Riley: 3... 2... 1...
Jory: It's not even warm...
Jory: I mean, maybe if we left it in there for another, like, four hours, it would have done something cool, but I doubt it!
Jory: I hope you aren't wondering this, but is it a good idea to microwave Jiffy Pop?
No! Because that takes all of the fun out of the Jiffy Pop. I think it's meant for stovetop, right?
It's boring, regardless...
Yeah, it's not a good idea to microwave Jiffy Pop.
Well, it's not that it's not a GOOD idea, it's just a terrible idea! It's, like, just, why would you?!
That's about it for "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" I'm your host, Jory Caron.
*end credits play*
I'm Riley McIlwain. Yay! How much can I get that for? How much can I get that for?
Jory: (bad infomercial accent) This, right here, is one thing of Jiffy Pop. It's as much fun to make as it is to eat!
How much would you pay for this?
Oh, I don't know. Maybe, like...
You're wrong! It's less than that! It's, like, a dollar, I think, I'm not sure, let's microwave it!
