    Engineer Percy Spencer is credited with inventing the modern microwave oven after noticing that microwaves from radar had melted a chocolate bar in his pocket. The first household microwave oven was built in 1947 and was very expensive, costing around $2000. By the 1970s, microwave technology had improved and prices decreased, leading to microwaves becoming more common in homes, with 95% of US houses owning one by 1975.
