Is It A Good Idea To Microwave Bubble Gum?

Jory: (somberly) Welcome, friends. I'm Jory Caron. I have some bad news for all of you at home. If there are any children in the room, they should probably leave now. Or watch. That works, too. The bad news is that Helga is dead. You may not have seen it from last week's episode. Here's a brief clip. Jon: Wow! Look at that go! *pyramid squeals in a loud and frightening way* Jon: Sounds like someone just died in there! That's about when she bit the dust. It's tragic, I know. But there's some good news: I already purchased TWO more microwaves, so there will be no delay to your microwaving enjoyment and pleasure, you sick freaks! So, let's take a look at "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave Bubble Gum?" Jory: Is it a good idea to microwave this? Let's find out! Here at the Jory Caron Laboratory, safety is our number-one concern. That's why we have this giant tin foil shield. It's to protect our nuts, because nobody likes roasted nuts! We also have these masks and goggles, to protect the appropriate parts of the body. And, not as always, we have our GE turntable microwave oven. *trumpet fanfare* I named her "Lacey," because she's petite and kinda cute. I think so! Okay, so open up this microwave, and in goes the bubble gum. Jory: Aw, that is a firm seal right there! Jon: Jory Caron Bubble Gum Seal of Approval! Jory: And let's just close that. Okay, now, let's just back up! Jon: I can see that glow from here! Jory: Ooh! Ah! Jon: Look how pretty and new that is! Oh! It fell over! Jory: Already! Jon: The excitement begins! Jory: And so it does, my friend! Jon: Lacey's first experiment- a roll of bubble gum 10 feet long! Jory: It might have been expecting, like, a Hot Pocket or a burrito. Jon: (to tune of commercial jingle) Hot Pocket! Jory: Instead, it's got bubble gum! It's like a bubble gum pancake! Jon: It knows you're coming, Jory. It just wants to get out of the way. Jory: Yeah. It's almost like a bubble gum sticky bun right now. Okay, now, it's just, like, a giant pancake again! Jon: The big, giant pancake! Jory: I think it's bubbling, too! Jon: You think it's still good? Should we do a taste? This microwave's actually clean. You probably could technically eat it. Jory: I didn't technically CLEAN it, so I'm not gonna technically do anything to it, actually! That is going to be one sticky mess to clean up! Jon: What else is new? Jory: That's a good point... Okay, let's get in there and see what happens with that. Ooh! That's a refreshing smell! Jon: (in a British accent) Like cotton candy on the boardwalk. I remember it like it was yesterday! Jory: Exactly! Jon: Oh, my goodness! Look at that! Jory: Remember how you asked me if I would, like, eat it? And I said "no"? Jon: Dude, it looks like a giant pepperoni! That's phenomenal! Jory: It's like burnt caramel. Jon: That is a new pizza, that's what that is! Look- it's a pizza! Oh, Lord, Lord! Oh, my goodness! Jory: That is not a fun consistency! If you're wondering what it's like... Jon: Yeah, I was gonna say it's kinda like caramel and maple syrup mixed together. And it smells like cotton candy, for those wondering. I wish we could broadcast smells from this show! Jory: YouTube, hear my plea! Jon: You have NO idea what we're smelling right now! We've thrown down the gauntlet. You will try and make this broadcast smell. Jory: So, it's not a good idea to microwave bubble gum. You'll turn pink and happy bubble gum into brown, stinky, kinda-like-the-[beep]s bubble gum! So, that's it for "Is it a Good Idea to Microwave This?" I'm your host, Jory Caron. *end credits play* Let's take a look at how they microwave bubble gum! Jory: It didn't even pop that bubble! It's not even warm! Jon: Is the microwave still working? Jory: Shhh!
