Huh. I have. Didn't know what it was, but heated the water, dropped in a spoon and it boiled over aggressively even though it didn't look like it was boiling.

We do use a kettle, this happened at work - the microwave there was a lot stronger than mine, and I couldn't get the water to look like it was boiling.

Same here, happened when I was young. Thankfully I wasn't holding it in my hand, it was on the counter. I didn't get burned
