Burnt Lunch Leads To Iowa State Capitol Evacuation

When Kraft announced that it was changing the color of its iconic Mac & Cheese last week, we’re guessing the company didn’t mean for
consumers to cook the pasta until it turns charcoal black. But, that’s exactly
what happened in the Iowa Capitol building yesterday. A staffer accidentally
left their lunch in the microwave for what was probably way, way longer
than the suggested three-and-a-half to four minutes.

The extra-crispy mac 'n' cheese started smoking and caused an
emergency alarm to go off, which ultimately resulted in a full evacuation of the building. Check out the remnants of the (likely very embarrassed) staffer’s lunch below.

We feel for the employee in question. We’ve definitely
entered 30 instead of three minutes before, only to return to scorched food and a very unhappy
microwave. It’s probably safe to assume that yesterday’s
Easy Mac chef will be sticking to cold lunches for the time being. (The Des Moines Register)
