Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn’t work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there’s so much representation and variety that it’s good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

    Microwaving food. Too many people think that it’s radiating the food. Its just making the water molecules in the food wiggle and heat up to warm the food through internal collisions.

      they often called it nuking. took a good 15 years before mass acceptance. early ones had warnings about standing near with pacemakers could kill you.

      It’s even the optimal way to cook some things, and people still avoid it.

          Things with a lot of water evenly distributed. Potatoes, steamed vegetables, stuff like that. I’ve read it’s good for making caramel too but haven’t tried that one.

        Though I’d highlight that warming food up in a pan or pot on the stove is criminally underrated.
