Percy L. Spencer invented the Microwave Oven
January 24, 1950
Dr. Percy Spencer invented the microwave in 1945. He noticed that a candy bar in his pocket had melted after standing in front of a magnetron, leading to the development of the microwave oven.
Percy Spencer did not invent microwave popcorn specifically; rather, he is credited with the invention of the microwave oven in the 1940s. The first commercially available microwave popcorn was introduced in the 1980s, well after Spencer's invention. The combination of microwave technology and popcorn became popular as consumers began using microwave ovens for quick and convenient snack preparation.
