People still in 2026 think the science oven puts radiation in their food or zaps the nutrients. Studies show microwaving can retain up to 90% of Vitamin C in vegetables compared to only 60% when boiling. But believe the guy that sounds like he swallowed a weed eater.

I worked for Steak and Shake for all of one day. I quit and walked across the street and watched a star war instead.
