Cd + microwave = ?

Question

i recently found some really old cd's and i want to get rid of them, what'd happen in the microwave?

Answer 1

Search for CD + Microwave on YouTube.  Lots of people have done this and filmed it for you to enjoy.

Answer 2

Don't be stupid, that will just waste them. I suggest you wait until kids walk by your house and then throw them like frisbees out the window like I do.

Answer 3

i think they will explode or something y don't you just break them and throw them away

Answer 4

That's a fun one, though I suggest using a microwave that you don't want anymore.  It sort lights up and smokes a bit, giving off a really bad smell (this is why you should use an unwanted microwave)  The end result looks pretty cool too.  

Yes, I do know from personal experience.

Answer 5

The CD will spark leaving lightning bolt shaped lines on the surface of the disc, it will also smoke and smell bad. In general it is fairly safe to put a CD in the microwave (not for the CD of course) However, in general it is not a good idea to put other things in a microwave if you don't know what the result will be... A plastic ice pack for example will likely kill you if you stand too close due to the massive explosion that will result.
