Experiment #272: Canister of Planter's Peanuts (Rated G) Planter's peanuts, one of the quintessential Christmas snacks you put in a bowl for everyone to munch on, and one of the most boring things to microwave. While it is safe to microwave, it's also pointless because it might have ruined the peanuts due to the type of container, so I gave it a rare "stupid" verdict because I got neither excitement nor a great idea out of this. And unlike the Nutella, it took this long for it just to get warm, while the Nutella jar only deformed after it had been in way too long. However I still think the can of peanuts is fine to eat. There was some sparking, but I honestly suspect it came from the remains of the tinfoil. It's not the worst experiment I did, but it was disappointing. I mostly marked it as "stupid" because I'd hoped the foil on the top would have caught fire, making it cool. However, if you really want to do this at home, I guess there's no reason you can't. On a side note, due to lack of traffic, I won't be uploading every video to Vimeo, just the best of my stuff, such as an episode coming up soon, and any that in the future might be false flagged. Season 8 of Microwave Me is filmed, edited, hosted, and produced by Matthew Villani, also known as Captain Microwave, using different microwaves over the course of a season, this time a Sunbeam microwave named Jessie.
