The microwave plasma mystery

I've posted about plasma before, specifically from Veritasium.  That video does a great job explaining why halved grapes - and other similarly sized, primarily water objects - can create plasma in a microwave oven

Today's video looks at why plasma can be created from non-water systems like matches under an upside-down beaker, something I've tried before and can verify the ease of it working.

Just to protect myself legally, don't try this at home. Be smart, folks.
