Music was putrid, the "knowledge" was ridiculous and unnecessary, and I just wasted 30 seconds of my life that I will never get back. "Baking, LOL" saves you from a 1.

I don't think those lumps are crumbs. I washed one out and tried it, and it was still as bupy as ever. And, it works with big chip bags. I cut one in half so it could fit in the microwave, and it ended up the same size as the small one.
