Microwave


Would two poor jobless student squatter types like Gadget and Harvey really own a microwave? He tells Gadget to grab some microwave meals in ep4 and I thought they only really hit the market here in late 80s and would've been way out of their price range.

Available from 1985 onwards. Very affordable in mid 1990s, so either stolen or an oversight by the writers.
It used to be Breville toastie sandwich makers, so that should have been offered up.
Good call.

We had a microwave at home in 1982 (in Yorkshire). 2nd hand they wouldn't have been expensive by 1990, I'm sure plenty of young adults were given them new or 2nd hand by their parents when starting out.

Yes, people had microwaves in 1990 and wayyyyyyy before. It wasn't the dark ages.

Don't report that as a goof. Someone already reported the word 'dude' as being a goof despite Ninja Turtles being all the rage...
