Lost Episode #4: Mini-Water Balloon (Originally published on February 13, 2013) (Rated G) I'd wanted to do a water balloon, but the water balloon I ended up doing in the Sharp Carousel turned out to be really small. I was hoping it'd expand and fill up the entire microwave before popping, or at least swell up significantly. But instead it just barely swelled up a little and instead of exploding. I think maybe the water balloon burst prematurely due to the rough surface. Compare that to the water balloon episode I actually used where it got as big as a beach ball. So please post our thoughts on this. Should I have used it for episode 80 or is it more fitting of the "lost episode" category? If you haven't seen the water balloon I used, please check it out, it's really cool. This one by contrast should have been much better. == ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION == Originally Experiment #80: Water Balloon (Rated G) Before doing the experiment, I discovered that Demi the microwave's plate broke from the tinfoil and steel wool experiment. I guess all that heat shattered the glass plate. Still, it's amazing that after all this, the microwave still works. And she got a nice bath with a water balloon. Because of how a water balloon explodes, a low splash instead of a scattered explosion, it's safe to do at home, hence a good idea and one of the only b00m experiments that resulted in a good idea. After all, Kenny Irwin (dOvetastic) microwaved a water balloon in his home microwave back in 1991, along with other "safe" experiments, such as light bulbs and Christmas lights. This is also the last episode of Microwave Me that will be filmed on the porch. Due to the nature of the show, the fumes coming into the house become increasingly bad to the point where it gets hard to sleep, so all experiments will be done outside from now on with the possible exception of produce items. But in the last experiment on the porch, the hot steam cleaned the microwave better than any method I'd tried to this point, perfect for as I approach the home stretch of season 3 leading to the season finale. I have decided there will be seasons 4 and beyond, but the "Captain Microwave" character will be phased out unless there's enough demand for it to come back. Also, notice I left the balloon in too long, so I edited out most of the post-explosion, nothing happened but some steam. Season 3 of Microwave Me is filmed with only the worst in state of the fart digital camcorder technology. The show stars host and producer Matthew Villani as Captain Microwave who uses a Sharp Carousel for this episode.
