Experiments That Killed Or Retired A Microwave

This is a list of experiments that made a microwave unusable for one reason or another.

Season 2

Cassette Tape: Renee still worked afterwards but the waveguide was mostly gone, the inside was charred, the fan was detached. Too dirty and burned up to be of much use, especially considering that the next experiment planned was an apple (which would be delayed a tiny bit)

Season 3

Ink Cartridges: Matt's printer cartridges ended up causing the first microwave death when Demi shut off and didn't turn back on again. He planned on following this up with the aerosol can in cooking oil, which ended up coming quite a bit later.

Season 4

Silly String: Didn't really retire Jareth, but he needed his waveguide and fan reattached.

CFL: Jareth became too toxic to be the main microwave anymore, plus with a busted light visibility was usually very poor

Season 5

Sparklers: This ended up being Quincy's last episode, she still worked but was retired forever after

Season 6

Champagne: This marked the first time a microwave was completely destroyed from an experiment, Lindsay was completely blown up on the inside when the champagne bottle went off, the door launched 40 feet as well

Monster M3: Completely ripped the door off of Erika. Ended up killing her as it could not be reattached.

Season 7

Sparkling Cider: Blew open Sarah's door but also did internal damage, leading to another microwave death

Season 8

Unknown: Something damaged Li to where she had to be retired, it may have been the snow globe but she continued to work to do the mouse.

Season 9

Gasoline: A cup of gasoline ended up being the cause of Jessie's demise as fire was shooting out all of her vents

Season 10

Lava Lamp: Blew off Danielle's door in only the second episode, forcing Jareth to be the season 10 microwave

Season 11

Listerine: Apparently the Listerine did some kind of damage to Monty's door panel
