Remember that Simpsons where Homer’s on a diet and Marge gives him rice cakes (“You can put a little something on top for flavor”) and he stacks a bunch of food on top one of them and microwaves it?
Coincidentally, I watched that episode a day or so ago, and I was just looking at the packaging for my Quaker Salt Free Rice Cakes (“Satisfying Whole Grain Crunch!”) and in blue capital letters on the back is the warning DO NOT HEAT IN TOASTER OR MICROWAVE.
As I have neither a microwave nor a toaster, I can’t test this warning. So, what happens? Someone needs to try it for me, like that time Dave Barry put Pop Tarts in a toaster and held down the lever until they burst into flame.
Do rice cakes catch fire when you toast or microwave them? Do they get laser-hot, or a slightly less Satisfying Whole Grain Crunch, or what? The suspense is killing me.
