      I can almost guarantee someone was trying to pass a drug test. Fake piss became easy to buy, and even include things like under-belt harnesses and fake penises. So even if someone is in the room watching you take the test, it still looks legit. So modern drug tests will also check to see if the urine is at (or at least very near) body temperature.

      And this presents a problem with fake piss kits, because the surface of your skin doesn’t typically stay at body temperature; It’s usually anywhere from 90-95° instead of 98. Which means that even if you wear the belt pack all day, your body heat won’t be enough to warm the fake piss up enough.

      So some people will resort to microwaving it just before they walk in. Get it to like 103° at the gas station across the street, (warm, but not enough to burn you when you wear it) so that by the time you walk across the street to take your drug test, it has cooled down to body temperature.

      Someone probably tried to heat “clean” urine to pass a drug test.

      The war on drugs killed my convenience store burritos.

        Or even synthetic urine. If a drug test can’t tell the difference, it’s gonna be close enough to smell like you microwaved real piss.

          Yeah but microwave would be hard to get the temp right. It’s better to use hand warmers. Not that I would know anything about that.

          Never tried it myself. I did provide clean urine to a friend, but I think their plan was just to wear it in/near their crotch long enough for it to warm up.

          I’d imagine microwaving might work, as long as you didn’t do it too long. But, I don’t know if there’s some ions or proteins in urine that are more sensitive to microwaves than other heating methods.

          Yes it contains all the markers that pass the controls of the test. Easy option for an unsupervised urine test.
