Explosive results and dinner are not two words anyone wants to hear in the same sentence, though one Florida husband experienced such results while heating his dinner in the oven. Reddit user Lastito says it was his wife who told him to heat his food in the oven; little did he know she left a can of oven cleaner inside. “That Smothered chicken pot surprise had a bit more surprise than expected,” he wrote in his post, featuring an image of an oven with its door blown off.
Much to Reddit’s dismay, the man claims he stuck the food back in and “rolled with it.” “Oven still works without the door,” he said, which is a wild thing to do, especially during peak summer season. Lastito claims he was too tired to clean up or fix anything, considering his wife was reportedly working overnight. “The food did have an odd aftertaste,” he remarked.
Redditors Couldn’t Believe the Florida Husband’s Story
Redditors were flabbergasted, not only at what happened, but also at Lastito’s rather nonchalant attitude to a very concerning situation. “Who tf keeps oven cleaner inside the oven? Natural selection at its finest here,” exclaimed a user. “I repeat for everyone: the oven is not a storage bin,” added another.
One person remarked how unbelievable it was that both the wife and the husband were at fault here. The wife left combustible cleaning supplies in the oven, and the husband apparently didn’t notice the oven cleaner inside while heating his food. “They are a perfect pair,” joked a commenter.
Some people theorized that the wife actually knew about the oven cleaner and was attempting something devious against the husband. While Lastito didn’t refute these claims, he did say that “it sucks cuz I have to go back to work tomorrow.”
In the end, this Florida couple’s explosive tale is a good reminder to everyone to check inside the oven before preheating. While most people say they would never leave oven cleaner in an oven, there’s always the possibility of something being left inside, forgotten until the broiling heat claims it.
