FRESH GIGGLES Stuff I Would Invent If I Had Time
Zooey Deschanel

Car Microwave: I often have way more time in my car than I would like. I have a cooler that I plug into the cigarette lighter in my car. It’s amazing but what I really want is a portable microwave. Who wouldn’t want to pop a bag of microwave kettle corn while waiting for a red light to change?  Who wouldn’t want to heat up a cup of coffee or make a tiny little casserole whilst idling curbside? This would be a huge seller in the sky mall catalogue, or if you’re thinking really big (and I am, people) on QVC. I want my popcorn, and I want it in my car. I am surprised no one has made this yet actually. Popcorn is great car food.

  1. Hi! I have a Sharp Half Pint. 1. It’s adorable! 2. It’s amazing!! I bought it off Amazon because I wanted a small microwave I could store in my pantry instead of the huge space waster above my stove. Mine just plugs in to a regular outlet, but I know you can buy a car converter kit. I think a lot of truck drivers buy these or RV drivers. Enjoy!

  2. :D i want one too!

  3. Not exactly 12-volts, but it’s so dang portable. It even has its own carrying handle. Curl up and watch a movie on your laptop without even having to get up and pop some corn.

  4. Agreed!!

  5. love it! The only draw back is if you burn your popcorn in the car then you are left with that smell eep!.

  10. I’m pretty sure that there was something like this a while ago on an old episode of the Simpsons, I’ll try to find a clip.

  11. Or maybe you just want to get your Ben & Jerry’s to that perfect, melty consistency. I’m all for this.

  12. I just want my car to be full of popcorn at all times…specifically popcorn from a Laemmle theater. They have the most delicious popcorn.

  13. Not to be a downer, because that would be TOTES fabulous… But i think the reason they don’t have them is because of thier fire risk. I mean.. You catch something on fire in you car and you don’t really have anywhere to go, ya know? You’re gonna have to figure out how to make it non-flamable. : ) (Helpful criticism!)

  14. lets not forget portable pot pies, maybe on a stick….or not

  15. I want to be able to plug in as many things as possible in my car. and Dalenna don’t you know girl…popcorn is a healthy snack!

  16. Why stop at a microwave?? Why not have a whole entire kitchen in your car?? I think that’d be awesome, to just have a portable little kitchen that you can plug in to your cigarette lighter in your car. I think people from L.A. would buy the most car inventions because we spend so much time in our cars, crawling along slowly on the freeway with literally, millions of other people. I like that idea, a whole portable car kitchen. And it starts with a microwave!

  17. I think you were an inventor in anothe life! Just concerned if there would be all that radiation inside a car.

  18. way to promote obesity!

  19. LOL you mean like this http://tinyurl.com/dzwol8 I totally told myself that once I got a car, it would look like Homer’s and I too would yell out Chaka Khan’s name!

  20. What if you could just plug the popcorn bag into your lighter? One time use, but much less to carry.
