Origin[]
From the early 1950s to 60s, the United States conducting atomic tests in the western deserts where few people lived. Except that the booming city of Las Vegas grew even larger due to its closeness to the site. People would travel there and have atomic bomb parties to witness a nuclear blast up close.
Effects[]
Used by a housewife in Las Vegas to host her atomic bomb viewing parties, breakfast foods cooked in the pan are irradiated and eventually explode in mini-mushroom clouds.
