[Jory:] Many of our viewers have asked us
"Can I microwave toothpaste?"
Well, I guess you could
The only logical thing I could come up with is that maybe it's stubborn
it doesn't want to come out
so you want to heat it up so it flows out like lava
At least I think that might be what happens
I'm not really sure though
So is it a good idea to microwave toothpaste?
(♪) Are you ready for this?
Let's do it
I wonder how long it takes to microwave this
Two minutes
Ventilation is key
Oh, gee
Safety is our number one concern
Yeah, I think we're on fire
No one likes fried junk
Bad idea? Possibly
Stopping! Stopping!
Is it a good idea to microwave this? (♪)
Here in Jory Caron Laboratories
Security is our number one concern
We have a tinfoil shield to protect our nuts
Nobody likes roasted nuts
[Laughter]
Ventilation is key
We don't want black shit in our lungs
No black lungs
So here we have our Sharp microwave that has been through hell twice
In goes toothpaste
I wonder how long I should microwave it
[Zach:] 1:30
[Jory:] 1:30, sounds like a plan
And here it goes
[Jon:] This--this could be interesting
[Jory:] Make a boom, make a boom
I hope it shoots right at the window
[Jon:] Is that cap on?
[Jory:] Yup, the cap is on and it's secured
Scoot over
[Zach:] Maybe you should have cut it open
[Jory:] No
[Zach:] Oh!
[Jory:] Oh, snap
Oh, biddies
[Zach:] Who feels we should get a fire extinguisher?
[Jory:] Biddies
No, it's just arching plasma
[Jon:] Toothpastes shouldn't arch
[Laughter]
[Zach:] It's doing it in the area where there's no toothpaste
[Jon:] Yeah, the aluminum bit
[Jory:] I hope it starts to expand soon
[Jon:] I think it might be
[Jory:] Oh, shit
Smell it?
Get the light on that
I'm going to turn it off
[Jon:] We are ceasing the experiment
[Jory:] Oh, shit
[Jon:] Wrong button
[Laughter]
Whoo!
[Jory:] Oh do you smell it?
[Zach:] No, yeah, oh God
[Jory:] Let's get out of here
We'll check up on that little experiment a little bit later
It's been about a minute and we know the fumes haven't dissipated yet
but we really want to microwave that
So let's go do it
Oh, yeah
It's still quite fumey in here
[Jon:] Smells like toothpaste a little bit though
[Jory:] Yeah, it's kind of minty
Oh, it started to ooze
Oh and that is really hot and liquidy
I'm going to open up the front
Hopefully we get some splatter action
Oh, it's steaming
If it can clean teeth—oh, do you guys smell that?
[Zach:] Oh, it smells so minty
It's really minty
[Jory:] It's cleaning the microwave
[Zach:] It's cleaning it for you and it's not sparking anymore now that the cap is open
[Jory:] Oh my God I can taste it now
[Zach:] Oh my God it smells so good
It's making the room smell better
[Jory:] This is not good at all
[Jon:] You're right, it is—it is vaporizing the toothpaste and then saturating the atmosphere
[Zach:] Oh my God can you imagine when we open that?
[Jory:] Didn't it say not to consume toothpaste?
[Jon:] Alright so, it's difficult to see on camera but the toothpaste is definitely shooting some sort of air-born—air-born minty thing
[Jory:] It is really minty in here right now
[Zach:] Whoa, whoa, here we go
Do you see how much steam is coming out of the top of that?
The tube is getting smaller
[Jon:] It's—it's releasing all of the toothpaste into the air
[Jory:] So we're building a whole bomb full of toothpaste right here
[Jon:] So toothpaste is
[Jory:] Oh, shit!
Hopefully it's flammable
[Zach:] Oh, here we go, here we go
[Jon:] For those wondering, toothpaste can be converted into a gas
and here's how
[Zach:] I'm starting to get really light headed
[Microwave beeps]
[Jory:] Oh and it's really foggy in there
[Zach:] This could be really bad for the fire alarm
[Jon:] Get the fuck out of here
[Jory:] We've let it air out for a while
and now we can look at it
So what do we have?
Uh, it's still really liquidy on the inside
and it kind of melted the top
and it still smells a lot like mint in here
So, you may be asking,
'Is it a good idea to microwave toothpaste?'
No, it's not
Never microwave toothpaste
Well, for 'Is It a Good Idea to Microwave Tooth—' I did that line wrong
I'm Jory Caron
