Putting peanut M&Ms in the toaster

So, for some reason I've been obsessing over this idea for weeks. And now I've finally done it--I've got four of these babies sitting there on a sheet of tin foil. Will they be as delicious as I hope? Or a runny, horrible mess? Answers in minutes!

They're ready!

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 25 April 2003 19:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh god, don't ever do this.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 25 April 2003 19:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Burnt chocolate is icky. I tried putting a hershey's kiss in my hot chocolate one time to make it more chocolatie-licious. Don't ever do that either.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 25 April 2003 19:54 (twenty-two years ago)

This really didn't work out.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 25 April 2003 19:55 (twenty-two years ago)

I had imagined that the candy shell would remain completely intact while, inside, the peanut floated in a little bubble of melted chocolate. Instead, everything went completely berserk.

Are you people insane? What is wrong with your head? PEANUT M&M's? I give up.

― Millar (Millar), Friday, 25 April 2003 19:57 (twenty-two years ago)

Not nearly as cool as putting the whole pack of peanut M&Ms in a glass of milk and watching 'em melt then drinking it down and running around the house 5 times 'cause you've got a sugar rush.

― hstencil, Friday, 25 April 2003 19:59 (twenty-two years ago)

That'll be the next experiment. Seriously, that sounds very good.

what is crazy is PUTTING TIN FOIL IN THE TOASTER.

― Ed (dali), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:19 (twenty-two years ago)

I get the impression it was a toaster oven.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

try the microwave next!

― rainy (rainy), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh my god, I am not allowed to have sugar.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:21 (twenty-two years ago)

You know what's good? Marshmallow popcorn. Put cooked, plain popcorn in the microwave with marshmallows on top. The marshmallows will get all huge while they're cooking, which is fun by itself, then they'll settle into a delicious goo. Enjoy with a napkin nearby.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Kenan is right, it was a toaster oven. Incidentally, I used to stick my fork in the toaster (a regular toaster) all the time to check on the bread's toastiness, which I understand is a very stupid thing to do. I never got zapped, though once I was sort of absent-mindedly playing around with a bulb-less lamp, and I stuck my thumb in the whatsit where it goes, and got quite a shock.

And I don't have a microwave so I can't take this to the next level.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

If I eat any of these items, I turn more maniacal than even on like an entire eighball of coke, I swear to god. I am so tempted to go cruising for ice cream RIGHT THIS SECOND, and then eat a jar of honey.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

No microwave? What, do you live in a third world country or somethin'? I think I have an extra one in the closet for you, slutsky. It's old as all hell, but those things never die.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Once I ate two ice creams in a row while were driving a friend out to weird old Mirabel airport. I went nuts pointing out every little thing I noticed along the way, ran all around the airport, got home and fell asleep in front of the last episode of 90210. That was probably my last bloom of youth.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I had an old microwave for a little while, but I never used it. What do you use yours for? They're weird.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I use mine for heating milk for coffee.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:32 (twenty-two years ago)

What do you use yours for?

Um... heating stuff. Heating just about anything. Although it heats some things better than others. For pizza, you need the toaster oven. For soup, the microwave.

They're weird.

You just have to learn to live with the magical gnomes and elves that make them work. Relax! They're good gnomes!

cocaine is bad, mmmkay. (stick w/the herb)

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I always found they made everything soggy. Though with soup I suppose that's not really an issue.

― slutsky (slutsky), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Nor is it an issue with leftover casserole, or pot roast and mashed potatoes... it's only an issue with crispy things. Obviously.

Never fear - the one time I did coke, I sneezed... figured that was a sign.

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Done it a few times. Liked it enough to know that I should never, ever do it again. (well, maybe one more time)

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I had an old microwave for a little while, but I never used it. What do you use yours for?

For microwaving M&Ms, for heaven's sake!

(It works, and they come out the way you wanted the toasted ones to come out. Regular ones do, anyway, I haven't tried the peanut remix.)

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Coke gives me heart palpitations, when I then medicate with several big glugs of tequila, which then turns me into a complete verbal bully. Babbling on and on and on... lying like it's a comptetive sport... bad scene. I once tried to convince a woman that I'd once killed a man.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Were you successful?

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:46 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread is great. I am now going to : buy (and eat) one of my boss's daughter's "please support my vocal jazz group" chocolate bars with albums; run over to the soda machine and get a Coke. Expect lots of furious incoherent posting soon after.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Besides the other drawbacks to coke (price, addictive, shrinkage, gradually turning you into a raging asshole) I have a heart murmur. My heart beat so fast on coke when time it made me very scared, which just my it beat even faster.

(haha Ally)

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, it definitely turns people into raging assholes. I can totally agree with that statement. And the price is skyrocketing, when did everyone become cokeheads again?

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 20:56 (twenty-two years ago)

The 80s (the 70s may have been the 'Me' decade, but the 80s was the 'ME! Fuck all of you!' decade)(not that coke wasn't extremely popular then, it was) when Mr. Escobar was still running things and the dangers of coke were not widely known.

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 21:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I went thru a may-december cokehead phase last year and I've had weird arrhythmias ever since. I can't even drink coffee now without getting all speedy and feeling faint. I want to get scanned and tested and all that but can't afford it yet. (die thread die!)

― Aaron A., Friday, 25 April 2003 21:03 (twenty-two years ago)

I think "me fuck all of you" was the Tarzan decade, actually.

― Tep (ktepi), Friday, 25 April 2003 21:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I get heart stutters from smoking cigarettes now? It's so weird. Anyway, BRING ON PIXIE STIX I NEED SUGAR.

Once, when I was like 7, I made a sandwich out of grape jelly, marshemellow fluff, and pixie stix. It was disgusting but I ate all of it.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 21:05 (twenty-two years ago)

(Did y'all know you can only send a certain number of emails per day per address through hotmail? Weird...)

Yeah, I didn't like how hyper I felt on coke, either

― luna (luna.c), Friday, 25 April 2003 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

How many fuckin' emails are you sending?

― buttch (Oops), Friday, 25 April 2003 21:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I used to run around in circles, for hours, whenever I had sugar. That day, it was until I passed out.

― Ally (mlescaut), Friday, 25 April 2003 23:53 (twenty-two years ago)

once in summer camp, around 1990 or so, my friends and i decided to snort pixie sticks. i shit you not, we emptied out the straws onto some hard surface, and craved up little lines, and snorted the stuff with the straw.

there was definitely a correlation between our behavior and the fact that a lot of people had older brothers and sisters in high school at the time that were all getting busted by their parents for coke.

needless to say, pixies sticks burn the back of your throat way more than coke ever could. but there are no sniffles.

― stephanie t (stephanie), Saturday, 26 April 2003 00:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha. Friends of mine did this at the frickin' lunch table in middle school. I just sat back and laughed my ass off. (which pretty much sums up my life)

― buttch (Oops), Saturday, 26 April 2003 00:58 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I did that too.

― Ally (mlescaut), Saturday, 26 April 2003 01:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't understand this obsession with sweets when there is so much deep fried and salted matter to be consumed.

― rainy (rainy), Saturday, 26 April 2003 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm a person just like you
But I've got better things to do
Than snort white shit up my nose
Smear m&ms all over my clothes
Drink coke 'til I rant and rave
Stick chocolate in a microwave --

I've got the straight edge!

― Minor Threat, Saturday, 26 April 2003 07:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha. High on cake.

David Lynch sez:

"I discovered that sugar makes me happy and inspires me. I'd get so wound up that I had to rush home and write. Sugar is granulated happiness. It's a friend."

"Things got bleak at times [during Eraserhead], but they were bleak in a fun way. I think it was sugar that helped me a lot. I went to Bob's Big Boy, which is a restaurant out here. Every afternoon, at 2:30, was Bob's time. I'd have a chocolate shake and several cups of coffee. I got such a rush from the sugar that a lot of times I felt much happier than I really was."

Has anyone suggested trying this with peanut butter m&ms? maybe on a lower heat or for less time? i once left a pack in my car in mid-july, all day long. when i got out to my car that afternoon i was starving because i had skipped lunch to be at this deposition. so i tossed a few down the hatch. and let me tell you it was heavenly! the candy shell got this strange shiny coating and instantly burst inside of my mouth. the chocolate was perfect and the creamy peanut butter combo incredible.

Also notably spicy and tasty was the pork vindaloo, that strange cultural combination - a Portuguese/Goan dish supposedly derived from the pickled pork provisions Portuguese sailors procured for their prolonged peregrinations.

I microwaved a bar of chocolate once (Galaxy) when I was a kid. After a while it looked the same, retained it's shape, but if you touched it it seemed to liquify. Anyway, this wasn't enough for me, so I microwaved it for longer. It burned, kind of - looked carbon-y, black and coal-like and smoking. Very odd.

I can't believe I didn't post to this about how I once decided to microwave plain M&Ms in the hope of creating a candy-swirled liquid-chocolate treat (to be poured on ice cream). I was ten. They caught fire. Then my dad got home from work. Really, though: who would have ever thought that any substance people regularly eat would catch fire in a microwave?

― nabisco (nabisco), Wednesday, 20 October 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

It's their natural defense mechanism. You should crushed them up first to make sure they were dead.
