A TikToker known as Microwaving30Mins has captured the internet’s attention with his peculiar food experiments, and his latest microwave trial involving a McDonald’s Big Mac has yielded some ghastly results.
After locking the popular burger in his microwave for 30 minutes, Harry filmed the process in his garden, saying: “While it’s true McDonald’s products tend not to rot, they never said anything about how they’d fare in a microwave, did they?”
Smoke emerged from the microwave towards the end of the ordeal, revealing a shockingly greasy finale. The Big Mac had hardened dramatically, leaving unsightly yellow stains on the plate. “Rock hard, incredibly greasy, tendrils of solidified beef liquid journeying out from the underside,” Harry observed. “This is exactly how I expected a processed McDonald’s product to behave after 30 minutes in a microwave.”
This unsettling outcome has turned some viewers off their fast-food cravings, with one commenting, “Calorie counting and craving a Maccies and this has helped immeasurably.”
The video has inspired other TikTok users to suggest items for Harry’s next 30-minute microwave experiment, with suggestions ranging from teabags and watermelons to jelly or even cat food. Harry has confirmed a few of these selections in the comments.
One of his more viral posts saw a Greggs steak bake subjected to the same treatment. Other items Harry has roasted for 30 minutes include Percy Pigs, mayonnaise, marshmallows, lettuce, and a Cadbury’s Flake.
The Big Mac microwave experiment is a testament to the unpredictable nature of food when subjected to extreme conditions. It’s a reminder that while some processed foods may resist decomposition, they might not fare well in a microwave. The video has sparked conversations about food science, the durability of processed food, and the entertaining world of extreme food experiments.
