Daily Trivia #427 : Pop the corn


Connect the above images....

Great response ppl !!!
As correctly cracked by most of u, it is indeed the Microwave Oven.
Invented by Percy Spencer at the defense industry behemoth Raytheon as a serendipity rather than a planned invention, it was commercially introduced as a standard household product by Amana Corp, now a subsidiary of Whirlpool. The final piece in the jigsaw is the dipole, which is the very foundation of cooking using a MW oven !!!

The word would remind people of the sound made during "the moment of discovery and decision making."The name even has its own tagline: "the sound of found!"
