Phoebe Mason, a university student, had a shocking and painful experience when her favorite meal of Heinz spaghetti hoops exploded in her face, causing severe burns. She had just started her second year at the University of Leeds and was excited to return to her beloved meal of fish fingers and spaghetti hoops. However, things took a turn for the worse when she heated up the bowl of tomato sauce coated snack in the microwave.
Phoebe, who had recently moved into a new house with seven other flatmates, was no stranger to using the microwave. In fact, she claims to have eaten her beloved spaghetti hoops five out of seven days a week. But on this fateful day, the seemingly harmless meal turned into a painful accident. As she removed the bowl from the microwave and went to stir the hoops with her fork, they suddenly exploded, sticking to her skin and causing second degree burns.
In shock and pain, Phoebe quickly took a cold shower while one of her flatmates called for medical help. She was advised to go to the hospital, where her burns were bandaged and she was informed of their severity. Phoebe recalls the incident, saying, "It all kind of happened in the blink of an eye. It exploded all over me." She also mentions that the explosion left hoop-shaped scars on her chest and shoulder, as well as some spaghetti hoop scars on her face.
Despite the incident happening in October 2022, Phoebe still has some scarring from the burns. She admits that at the time, she was stressed out and her and her flatmates, who were all only 19 or 20 years old, struggled to deal with the situation. However, now she can look back and laugh at the absurdity of the situation. She says, "Now looking back on it, it's definitely something I can laugh at. It's such a niche experience and it's funny the way it happened with spaghetti hoops of all things."
Phoebe hopes that her experience will serve as a cautionary tale for other students who rely on the microwave for their meals. She advises others to follow the instructions on the tin and perhaps even learn how to cook instead of relying on the microwave. She says, "My advice to other students would be to follow the instructions on the tin and the recipes and maybe actually start learning how to cook things so you don't have to microwave things as much." Despite the traumatic experience, Phoebe has found a silver lining in being able to warn others and share her unique story.
