The hosts of the show "Good Mythical Morning" conducted an experiment to compare the taste and quality of various late-night snacks cooked in the oven versus the microwave. They tested Bagel Bites, Tyson hot wings, El Monterey beef and cheese taquitos, tater tots, and broccoli and cheddar Hot Pockets. After a blindfolded taste test, they found that only the Bagel Bites and hot wings were worth the extra time it took to cook them in the oven. The other snacks were either comparable or better when cooked in the microwave.
