Experiment #281: Blackberries

(Rated G) Ever want to see a blackberry in the microwave? Well, what about a whole bunch of them? Well, you're in luck, because I'm not only microwaving a blackberry, I'm microwaving blackberries to the max! Wait, what's that? You wanted me to microwave the blackberry device and not the fruit? Well, in that case, you'll hate this episode. It's another produce episode that looks and feels like something out of seasons 1-3 and not the 9th season of Microwave Me. Well, I wanted to finish up the produce section! The kind of blackberry you want to see comes later.

Now, about the experiment - the blackberries were very similar to the raspberries I microwaved. A raspberry boils, as does a blueberry and most other kinds of berry. They warmed up and boiled into a sort of syrup, so I gave this a "safe" verdict. I have no idea why I did them for 2:34 instead of the usual 2:00, maybe because the blackberries are bigger? I don't know. Anyways, as you can guess, next episode is going to be the hand sanitizer, or if not it'll be a car headlight. I still can't microwave outside right now.

As far as season 9 changes, here's what you can expect:

1. No more long introductions. I'm going to cut straight to the microwaving, yes even on non-purist episodes. I was already pretty good with this in season 8, but I'm going to streamline it even more. The season debut (this episode for season 9) and the finale will be the ONLY exceptions to this new rule.
2. Similarly, the microwave's name will ONLY be said in its seasonal debut episode and will also be omitted from the description, similar to what I did in season 3-4. I'll just say what I'm microwaving, why I'm microwaving it, and pop it into the microwave. The analysis will ONLY take place after the experiment is done.
3. Since I'm only using Vimeo as a backup, there won't be any "Vimeo exclusive" screen like you saw in season 8. It's just the microwave video itself.
4. The season 8 overhaul of the verdicts will remain, they are safe, unsafe, dangerous, and deadly. There's still stupid for the pointless items that did nothing at all.

Anyways, season 9 should be a blast given some of the items I'm going to try. I'd like to hear your honest feedback once we're a few episodes into season 9. I want to know if you like the new changes or if you want me to switch back. I know that the "compact" form was tried in season 3 but I had a LOT less subscribers than I do now. And I know a lot better video editing and filming tricks, and I have a better camera. Only actually doing it will tell me if it's a good idea or a mistake on my part. Season 9 of Microwave Me is filmed, edited, hosted, and produced by Matthew Villani, also known as Captain Microwave, using a 1978 GE Dual Wave microwave for this episode.
