    NO - NO - not to put in the microwave - these are made for a game that you play outside - you throw them - kind of like horseshoes - but you throw them on a wooden board thingy with a hole in it - and get points if it goes into the hole or how close it gets to the hole, etc.

    There are other kinds of bags with corn, rice, beans, etc. in them that you put in the microwave for aches and pains.

    HTH

    Yes it's actually a bean bag game that you drink & play with a big group of friends. Kinda like washers but corn hole is popular around here & has taken the place of washers. It has 2 boards with a hole about the size of the bag & there are points scored for closest & for those that make it in. Board is real slick white enamel painted about 3 times so there are no rough spots. It's a game that can be played inside or out depending on if you have a basement & how much you trust your friends once they are drinking! The bags are made from duck cloth, all seams are double stitched & stuffed with corn.

    My cousins in Kentucky introduced me to this game. It's pretty big where they are. I'd put it in the same category as horseshoes.

    BTW, great corn hole bags, Izaquilter!
