Edible Firestarters

“That crack about the Flaming Marshmellows got me thinking --

Seeing as how we're always on the lookout for dual-use items, what other culinary items are flammable? Sure, wax covered dryer lint will start a fire, but it sure makes for a lousy snack, I'll bet!

I've heard that Fritos put out a decent flame, but I haven't tested that supposition myself...”

“small bag of lays potato chips...burn baby burn”

“poptarts?”

“Methane saturated underwear? Oh wait, shouldn't eat'em.”

“I wouldn't want to brush my teeth with Fire Ribbon, either.”

“Has a multitude of uses:

Fire starter;

Use it to rehydrate dried fruit (All types taste GREAT rehydrated with rum!);

a disinfectant;

A great bartering tool on the trail;

Makes gatorade taste a lot better!

With so many uses, how can you go wrong!”

“and I'll bet 152 rum makes GREAT jello shooters :)”

“I mean 151...sheesh”

“My brother was in the Marines and showed me that the MRE peanut butter also works as a firestarting gel.”

“ok now im REALLY hungry”

“152 rum kicks 151's ass! LOL”

“i heard that buddha bears pee burns...or that's at least what he said. hahaha”

“LOL @ Opie.”

“ouch!”

“olive oil and TP - well half of its is edible but both are multi use

olive oil in a can with a tampon for a wick has also been used for a lamp”

“I second that drinkable liquid fuel suggestion.

Rum
Chartruese
Zambuca
Cognac

All good”

“Corn chips work well to start a fire.”

“you can make a big fireball using non-dariy creamer.
not that effective for starting fires - but great for loosing your eyebrows or knuckle/arm hair.

no, not when it's just sitting there in a little pile. it must have alot of air mixed in with it -kinda like sawdust.”
