Transcript

Put the squishy toy into the microwave and turned it on. Saw videos online claiming it made them extra soft. Inside the toy, the thick liquid started heating up, but when she pulled it out, hot goo burst out of the cube, exploding across her face and chest. It clung to her skin as her father desperately tried pulling it off to place her into a medically induced coma because the burns near her mouth could stop her from breathing. But after months of recovery, she did survive.
