A woman used a microwave for five years and thought its time was up. But she realized she made a big mistake!

The woman had noticed that the buttons on the microwave appeared to be slowly fading away. She was ready to throw it out and buy a new one.

Microwaves are often coated with a protective plastic to maintain their perfect look. The mum realized that she had never taken the protective plastic off five years ago. The numbers written on the buttons were not fading, the numbers on the plastic were fading.
