I cleaned the microwave today. I’ve cleaned it many times before, but only today noticed a design detail that made me laugh. It’s on the rotating glass plate that sits on the bottom of the microwave. Take a look:
See the design in the middle? Does it remind you of anything? I thought it looked suspiciously like the symbol for radiation. If you check Symbols.com, you’ll see that it does indeed resemble the symbol for radiation, microwave radiation specifically. Was that the designer’s intent? Pretty good one, huh?

Just checked out ours, nothing like that on it, just that it’s made for the micowave.

Ours has the same mark. Never thought about it before. I wonder how many people who have read your blog are now confusing their loved ones by looking inside the microwave…

Good question, sengdroma. If we pretend to clean the microwave while looking in it, we’ll keep from confusing them.
