Does a Cessna 152 have an afterburner?

When I eat chili beans and fly one in MSFS, it sure seems too!

Along these same lines, might I suggest you also refrain from wearing roller
skates when eating this stuff :-))

Hey, that sounds like fun! At least for the one on the rollerskates.
Can't say the same for the downwinders...

I once (quite stupidly) shut off the engine using the ignition instead
of leaning it out (follow checklists, follow checklists). The fuel
rich situation resulted in a memorable (and visual) backfire.
Thankfully there was no apparent damage. That's as close to
afterburners in a 152 as I've seen.

You must have turned the key back on. It is a good practice
to check the P lead grounding on a regular basis by turning
the key off at IDLE to be sure the mags can be killed. Then
turn the key back on before the engine slow too much, no
harm will be done. There is an AD that requires just this
test, BTW.
Then shutdown with the mixture to clear the cylinders so it
is less likely to start accidentally is the P lead/switch is
disconnected.

My Bonanza V35B has such an AD. Every hundred hours, I have to test the
ignition by turning it quickly off and then back to both to verify the
p-lead is intact.

Just about all light aircraft since the AD is on the mag
switch.

The AD for my Bonanza is dated 1977. Are you saying that this ignition
problem exists for aircraft manufactured after that year?

That's what I was taught years ago in primary training: Test the mag
switch as part of EVERY shutdown. I still follow that routine.

You never know when some fool is going to be messing with the prop
while the airplane is parked.

It is a continuing problem. Mag switches wear out and the
engine will "fail safe" to a running condition when the
switch fails "open" circuit. The AD is so that the failed
mag switch will be detected before someone is killed.
