Grapes light on fire in the microwave
You already know not to put tin foil and metal forks in the microwave, but what about grapes? In 2011, a physicist at the University of Sydney went viral after he placed a grape in the microwave and filmed the fiery aftermath.
But oddly enough, scientists couldn’t explain the phenomenon until fairly recently.
A March 2019 study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences reported that the fruity fireball occurs as a result of the loose electrons and ions that cluster to form plasma when grapes get hot.
