Now that was some stupidity in action.

That.

Placing a large rock that's been sitting in cold water/frozen all day in the middle of a fire will do the same thing. But then you have little chunks of rock flying everywhere.
/nearly lost an eye from doing that as a kid

With certain types of cans (I won't say which to prevent additional stupidity) the bottom is a failure point and when it blows the rest of the can can take off like a guided missile and really fark up someone badly.

Dumbasses

The cackling of morons.

These guys are morons. Everyone knows sobe bottles are they way to go. Well, before they changed the caps anyway.

I made bean bombs camping when I was a teenager. We were smart (?) enough to at least find some decent cover and to get further than the 10 feet away that these people did.

Still pretty stupid, though.

We had one egg left after breakfast and I put off to the side of the grill over the campfire and didn't think about it again. Later another guy walked by as the egg asplode and he was hit with delicious fried egg shrapnel. You had to be there but it was funny.

Pansies. When I was a kid, we put pressurized spray cans in.

A can of Brisk "tea" works perfectly well for this also. Just don't do it during a drought when the fire danger is high...or when the camp fire is your only source of light... or when your tent is less than 20 yards away from the fire...or when your blankets are already laid out... or when you had a nice new air mattress... or when your chairs are fabric... or your nice jacket is spread out on a char.

That was a really bad night for all of us.

Some idiot put a can of beer in our little backyard bonfire one night. Luckily it just blew the top off and sprayed some hot beer out. He was not invited back.

The d-bags on Top Gear America thought it would be a good idea to cook a can of something by placing it under the hood of their vehicle (a Jeep in this case). They failed to realize the explosive goodness of this folly, and sure enough... it exploded. Caused some wires to short out and the Jeep stopped running.

I have tried numerous times to give this show a chance, and... it just sucks. Contrived situations that are meant to be funny are only good if the result is actually funny. This show is mostly just contrived situations minus the funny.

Yep. Top Gear can concoct some interesting and amusing, if contrived, situations, which work because in part of the hosts. Top Gear America fails even at this, because the hosts can't carry it off. No one's that believably stupid.

What about the audience of Top Gear America? But seriously, they have a few moments that keep me watching through the awkward scenes and ridiculous fakery. The transitions are bad and the editing sucks too. But regular Top Gear was pretty horrible for a while too. I'm just glad that Tanner guy has stopped explaining that he's from the south and how that means this or that.

I have heated food wrapped in tin foil on my engine block while on road trips.
It's pretty awesome to pull over at a rest stop in OK and eat the tacos, hot, that you bought in Milwaukee.

Food wrapped in foil and cooked as you describe? A time-tested and excellent way to either cook food or keep hot food hot.

Food in a factory-sealed can, placed in an engine bay with the intention of cooking said food? Incredibly stupid.
