When I was about 5, my family had a video disc player that played those big movies that look like big records. After a lot of thought, I realized that if putting a disc in made the movie show up on the screen, I should really be able to magnify anything that I put into the slot. So, I stuffed some popcorn in the player and waited patiently to watch a giant piece of popcorn pop onto the monitor... instead, my parents had to break the news that I had ruined my favorite machine.
