So, you know when you buy a cup of soup thing and you’re like, Sweet, I’m going to make some soup for lunch because it seems like a soup kind of day, and you follow the instructions to the letter, uncapping this, removing that, stirring that other thing, and you put the cup of soup in the microwave for a minute and FIFTEEN SECONDS (no more, no less) and about twenty seconds in, it falls over? Like, don’t people spend INORDINATE amounts of time designing microwavable cup of soups so that they don’t fall over and spill chicken broth and mini pastas everywhere? Aren’t there focus groups? And human factors testing? And ergonomic design trials? AREN’T THERE? Related: do you KNOW how hard it is to clean up tiny pasta? JESUS.
I don’t think it’s the microwave’s fault, because even though the little plate thing spins, it spins slowly and smoothly. There aren’t any bumps or cracks along the track because the dude who designed the microwave DID HIS GODDAMN JOB and designed a FUNCTIONAL APPLIANCE. Rather than that asshole at Campbell’s who’s just being difficult.

Basically here is how Cup of Soup was invented.
Marketing Exec: Hey we need to sell more soup.
Other Marketing Exec: Why don’t we invent a new package that is perfect for microwaving?
Marketing: Or just put a new label on the package? Done.
