This Tiny USB-Powered Microwave Lets You Heat Your Lunches Right At Your Desk

If you've been here long enough, you no doubt have seen a whole slew of unique gadgets meant specifically for your desk at the office, including (but not limited to) the tiny desk vacuum that's shaped like a retro vacuum, the mini soda vending machine for your desk, or even a tiny whacky and wavy inflatable arm flailing tube man for your desk! This time around, we've come across what may be the world's tiniest microwave!

It was designed for use specifically to heat up your lunches without ever having to leave your desk. Though even more specifically, to reheat your beans, as it was actually designed by Heinz to heat up their tiny Snap Pots bean packages.

The tiny desk microwave measures just 7.4 inches tall x 6.2 inches wide x 5.9 inches deep, so it'll take up practically no space on your desk when not in use!

Heinz states that the mini desk microwave can be powered by either an attached USB cord, or even some internal rechargeable batteries when you need to use it on the go.

The tiny desk microwave even contains all the safety features you'd find in a full size microwave including a protective screen behind the door, and even having it stop when you open the door.

Although the tiny USB powered microwave is still in a development faze, they have stated that the device could sell for anywhere between $100-$175 bucks if and when it comes to fruition.

Heinz first announced the product way back in 2009, and as of now it still doesn't exist. So who's to say if this was ever a real project, or perhaps some sort of April fools prank.
