This sounds like a bad, bad idea.

Meh. Wax is flammable, news at 11.

I wouldn't do it in MY apartment, but a chem lab's a fine place for it.

A candle for a gift? You know I have electricity, right?

Oh my god. I woke up my entire household laughing at that

Man, I totally misread that as "scented panties" and got all excited for nothing.

My toaster has a pop tart setting, but I guess it must be broken.

that is one of the most stupid irresponsible articles i've ever seen in print. some stupid little puke somewhere is going to suffer horribly because they are too young & stupid to heed the warnings.

Articles like this are the chlorine in the gene pool. Every so often it needs a good rinse.

BLEVE?

Rtfa, yep. And a boring one at that.

Challenge! Fill a mason jar 4/5 oil, 1/5 water. Toss in camp fire. Post results to YouTube.

so the water helps the oil spread out more before it evaporates, and then the oil brings the temp way up and BURN BABY BURN? It's worthy of some study.

was that the party where the passed out naked chick pics hit TF? There was some severe fallout and a lot of bannination until things were forced to quiet down. Definitely interesting times!

So a great and effective use of candles is to make the equivalent of a turkey fryer oil fire with them. GENIUS!

I once made a nice fireball out of my (ex-)girlfriend's scented candle after I ate lots of beans.

/is this a fart thread now?

My family used that same model toaster for about 15 years.
