Let’s talk about the icing packet. In the toaster, you squeeze it on after. It melts slightly, creating a glorious, sugary shell.
In the microwave, you have two bad options. Put it on before? It turns into lava sugar that burns your mouth. Put it on after? It just sits there, cold and confused.
The perfect bite—warm pastry, cool icing—is destroyed. You’re left with a lukewarm mess. It’s a tragedy of textures.

But is it illegal? No. Is it a crime against breakfast? Absolutely.
