Eggs are fun. So is a bar of soap.
I've always wondered about a can of spraypaint. Maybe enough of the engergy gets in the top and *BOOM*.

I'd still call shens on the beer in the microwave. Like Eeezee said, the editing would make it very easy for them to rig it with a small explosive charge......and the top 1/3 of the refrigerator seems to be pretty well intact.
So far as the can of deodorant in a microwave, while it might explode and destroy the microwave, and even supply a decent ball of fire, I doubt it would blow the roof off of a building. Simply the lack of volume of explosive gas would prevent it from doing any such thing, unless your microwave was in a doll house, and blew the roof off of that, ya know?
Oh yeah, and while I have no idea what the volume of natural gas was that caused it, when my house exploded last year, it lifted the house off the foundation (far enough to keep from bending the nails attaching the footer to the wall studs), tried to lift the roof off the house (evidenced by seperation of the shingles most of the way around the house, at the point where the roof attached to the tops of the walls), AND blew out every window and door, PLUS blew the back wall off of the house.......but I'd bet it was more volume than you could stuff into a single can of deodorant!! :shocked:

I don't know, if there's fire in there, you might get a boom. Some of those aerosol sprays use butane, or maybe it's propane, as a propellant. I know that a cigarette lighter in a microwave can blow the door open, and that this can be quite loud.
The metal around the tip started sparking, igniting the plastic. Eventually it found the butane well, and started burning that. Once the air and butane inside reached a proper mixture (at least I assume that this is what happened), boom.
There was flame there. Major shens. A beer bottle will not explode with flames, unless they used gunpowder instead of barley, and pure isopropyl alcohol instead of water. They used some sort of explosive or highly flammable liquid.

Gas+air will ignite (and you will perceive as mediocre explosion) as soon as there is sufficient ratios of propane and air.
With proper ratios, where there will be no gas or air left over, the BOOM will be disastrous. I would say one can of air spray is enough to demolish everything in the room when mixed with proper amount of oxygen.
Over in ex-USSR they use gas (propane) for cooking, heating water, etc. Sometimes explosions occur that wipe out entire buildings (5-7 story buildings)!
These buildings are made of concrete and/or bricks, not cardboard like apts here in the US.
