Expand-o-Ray
Early tests of the Expand-o-Ray were rather hap-hazard. The first human subject wasn't a willing participant to the test. Indeed, his friend sneaked up to his space-base and zapped him with it as a practical joke.
There then followed the problem of what to do to restore the victim to his normal size. The first thing the spacemen did was to get their computer to put the kettle on and make a nice cup of tea. Sadly it took quite a long time to do this. Fortunately this did give the spacemen enough time to find a giant mug for the tea to go in.
Once they'd had a nice brew, the answer became obvious. The Shrink-o-Ray was quickly invented and normality was restored.
As to why the spacemen enjoyed the taste of boiled leaves: that remained an enigma...
