The Turkey Microwave Challenge

This year's viral Thanksgiving prank is to text your parents and ask them how to microwave a 25-pound turkey. The responses are wonderfully funny. But is it really a prank when your parents "fall for it"? That only tells you that your folks consider it plausible that you're that clueless about cooking. One of the more common responses is "Are you high?"  

You can see a lot of responses at Twitter. Some of the humor comes from the very idea that anyone would have a microwave that could accommodate a 25-pound turkey. However, Butterball has instructions for microwaving a turkey, so it is possible. Just don't expect it to be good. Read those instructions, and some more challenge responses, at Patch. If you are outside the US, go here. -via Metafilter


I just texted this to my parents and they were howling with laughter. Next year I'm going to up the stakes and ask them how to microwave a 50-pound turkey.
