A complete waste of time, but fun to watch. Looked like a nicely decorated living room before the fireworks went off. And that microwave explosion is the shot of the year with the door hitting the camera.

    You've just summed up an entire industry (or two!).

    Whoa! That's really over-the-top! My fave was the red wine & microwave.

    I accidentally exploded a can of pork and beans like that once (seemed like a good idea at the time - wouldn't have a dirty pot to wash).

    I liked the wine+microwave also. Reminded me of a scene in the movie "Aliens".

    ...I gotta try the "flour and candle".

    My eyebrows need trimming anyway.

    Sugar dust explodes/burns too. Don't tell the terrorists or candy will be outlawed!

    .....as does non dairy coffee creamer. Make sure you do it outside though. It makes a terrible mess :)

    You need to check out these guy's YouTube channel. They have a Phantom Flex camera and they do Slow mo stuff all the time. It's awesome.
