Experiment #472: Microwaving Crayons in High Definition (Rated G) I'm not sure how many of you were watching back when I microwaved the original 8-pack of crayons, I had only around 100 subscribers at the time. But anyways, it wasn't very good. I only did it for two minutes so they barely melted, you couldn't see inside the microwave so it was hard to distinguish the crayons from anything reflected off the door. I'd been wanting to redo that episode for at least three years. Well now I finally did it. Not only did I microwave crayons until they melted, but I did a lot more, and you can actually see inside. I made sure to do it right this time. They were in for over 20 minutes and most of the crayons either partially melted or fully melted. I'm not unique in doing the crayons in the microwave type of experiment. A lot of people do this to make DIY lipstick or other DIY projects. This is just a science experiment so I only show you a bunch of crayons microwaving, but at least they did more than just get floppy and soft and partially melt all over the microwave. When I mentioned that they can catch fire, I was talking about when this was done by dOvetastic. If you're doing this for a few minutes to make a DIY project, it's fine, it's potentially dangerous if you do this for as long as I did. Wax fires are hard to put out, ever try to put out a grease fire? Not fun. But this experiment sure was. Microwave Me is currently in its 17th season of production and is now the second longest continually running microwave show on YouTube, while being filmed in crystal clear 1080p for the best quality and as always stars Captain Microwave stars as the show's host and producer, who for this episode uses a 1976 Litton microwave.
