1x006 - Kool-Aid

Plot
Jory has a packet of Kool-Aid Ice Cool, which he wouldn't particularly enjoy, as he might get a brain freeze, and "you can't drink ice" anyway. He then has the idea to use the microwave to make the Kool-Aid warmer and avoid these issues, and goes to find out what happens. The Unnamed microwave still has the previous episode's packet of soy sauce inside, and Jory simply appends the Kool-Aid pouch to her tray instead of removing the old experiment first. A cooking time of one minute is chosen and the experiment begins, although Jory begins to have reservations about leaving the soy sauce in the microwave; it continues to spin around, and even the Kool-Aid packet arcs briefly, at one point nearly blinding Jory. This excitement is very spastic and the experiment ends rather uneventfully. After informing us to always check items before taking them out of a microwave, the host takes the Kool-Aid packet. Although tainted with warm soy sauce, it is decided to be safe to handle, and Jory tears it open. Content with the ordinary-looking drink powder inside and the experiment's relative tameness, of course barring the soy sauce escapade, the microwave specialist implies that microwaving Kool-Aid is a Good Idea as there's no harm in doing so.

Trivia

 * Jon notes in several videos (via the annotations) that Jory has a habit of saying "many of our viewers", even though all of season 1 was filmed before any viewing audience was ever established.
 * The flavor of Kool-Aid is some sort of special "ice cool" variety.
 * The line "Hmm, I wonder how long it takes to microwave Kool-Aid?" (at 1:25) is part of the season 1 intro.
 * Jory informs us that there is a total of three fans in the JCML 1.0.
 * Jory fails to take out the soy sauce before starting the Kool-Aid experiment; this is one of the few times a previous experiment is left in.
 * During the verdict, Jory uses "is that safe to microwave?" That was actually the criteria for the good idea/bad idea verdict until late in season one when it began to move towards whether or not it was a cool show or not, but this transition wouldn't fully happen until at least season six, as some boring experiments in the next few seasons will still get "good idea" verdicts.

Quotes

 * Jory: I don't want MY Kool-Aid "ice cool." That might give me a brain freeze. Plus, you can't drink ice. So, how are you going to defrost it? In a microwave, of course!
 * Jory: The soy sauce thing is really freaking out, and there must be a metallic substance in the Kool-Aid packet, because I think that's why it's shooting flames!
 * Jory: I don't really know why you'd want to microwave [Kool-Aid]. Can't hurt, though!
