Good to know if you're stuck with nothing else.
I would find something else to buff the can...baking
soda, toothpaste etc........ save the chocolate!!! :)

I agree. Use something other than foodstuffs to polish the can. Can't be wasting edibles, don'cha know?

I have a couple of those freebie AOL CDroms in my BOB for use as mirrors or for signaling... Wonder if they would work in a similar manner to start a fire... :idea:

I have tried to open that page 3 times and only get a blank white screen. Am I not holding my mouth right or something?

Well I tried it.

Went to the store and got a Hershey bar and a Coke of course.

Went home,sat in the back yard. Ate the Hershey bar and drank the coke and went inside and lit the match and started a fire.

It works!

Before having the bar and the coke,didnt feel like starting a fire. Gave me the energy (chocolate) and the alertness (caffiene in the coke) to strike the match.

Gonna take a nap shortly though......woof.

Use the candybar wrapper (and some spit) to polish the can. It works..try it. So does bird turds for that matter. Either way takes mucho elbow grease! Chocolate is for eating..no other! Builds a fire inside you.

RE the CD. It would need to be heat softened to form it into a parabolic shape. OTOH, several, or broken pieces thereof, mounted in a parabolic formation would work fine as a solar concentrator. Broken mirror bits or even broken glass works better tho.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?!

My wife would filet my manhood on a hot rock with a dull deer antler if I tried to make fire (or anything else) with chocolate!

Hot rocks/antlers

Thank you Bugoutbear for another thing to cringe over. As if Lorena Bobbit couldn't make men shudder enough. That's one tough wife you've got there. :D

Well at least us smokers can make a fire anywhere we go. We may get cranky because of lack of nicotine but by damn we have lighters.
