Is it normal to see 0:00 on a clock?

A few months ago my little digital clock changed to 0:00 for a minute or two (not flashing). I thought my eyes were tricking me but I focused and it still said 0:00. I busted into my sister's room and told her time had stopped and to come look! She came out, I showed her the clock and she confirmed the discrepancy. The clock then changed back to the actual time. I've never seen this happen and I would expect a clock to present all 8's in error. I googled it and found nothing about it. Has anyone else ever seen a clock do this or have a logical explanation for it? I feel like it means something.

    My microwave is the only clock I have, apart from phone, and when it resets it reads 00:00.

    That's just a sign that the clock is breaking down and needs to be replaced soon.

    You shouldn't give it too much importance.

    Turn it off and turn it back on again. It means nothing.

    Well, 0:00 is midnight in 24-hour notation. Maybe that has something to do with it.

    • It's not that kind of clock and it was 2 something in the afternoon.

        Even if it doesn't have an accessible 24-hour mode, it's possible some of the underlying electronics support it. Obviously I'm not suggesting it was functioning properly, but that could explain why it showed that after gllitching out.
