Has someone recently asked you how long to microwave a 25-pound turkey for? Well, that means you’ve encountered a popular new Thanksgiving prank!
According to Fatherly, kids across the country are tricking their parents with this gag. It involves the kid asking for directions on microwaving 25-pound turkey, often to the parent’s confusion. While many of these moms and dads question if it’s even possible to cook that large of a turkey in the microwave, others seem disappointed their kids would even ask them how to do something so weird.
