Have you ever been dining on some convenience store pig skins, and thought to yourself, "These are nice and all, but why can't they also require several minutes of preparation and be so hot they burn sores in my mouth?" Well, you asked and science answered. I don't know the physics and stuff behind it, and frankly, I don't want to know. What I DO know is that microwave pork rinds feel like you're eating the crispy, warm skin of a pig mere minutes after its removal (which of course I mean in the most awesomely complimentary way). Sure, they might stink up the entire floor of your freshman dorm, pissing off all of its inhabitants. But ask any of those students to smoke a bowl and actually TRY one, and they'll be singing a new tune but fast. I recommend you do the same.
