Do you realize by the time you get to the meat of these articles, you’ve read the headline four times? I hate these things. Fucking retarded.

HA...I've used potato chips to start a fire...a handful of chips will ignite a stack of wet kindling the same as birch bark

I have been lighting fires in an old grill just because it's fun. It was hard as hell at first. But eventually you figure it out.

Some chips are flammable because they are primarily made of carbohydrates and oil, CNET reported in 2022. They’re high in calories and fat, which makes them conducive to starting fires

Good bit of information to know if you're ever in a survival situation and somehow forget the dozens of other ways to make a fire, and also want to waste some of your food. Just make sure you keep a lighter handy to get the bag open.

I believe the implication was do not set them on fire.

Whenever someone from a red state does something stupid it’s fl man, ga man, al man. From a blue state and it’s just man.

Is there some kind of competition going on now for most retarded between FL man and GA man?

I have small hands and occasionally packets of whatever is impossible to open. Scissors are deployed to overcome the problem.

I don't even have a lighter - let alone even thinking of using it to open a bag of chips. WTF.

I don't even have a lighter

It's a survival thing to have a few dozen laying around. Even just for lighting candles or whatever, they are useful.

All the illegals crossing the border should be given a jumbo size bag of potato chips and a lighter.

I am fascinated by the whole Tilapia-skin-for-burns thing. I'd love to just pretend to be a doctor in a burn ward to experiment on people or watch the progress of that treatment.

This guy might just get rolled in potato skins.

75 years old with 3rd degree burns to 75 percent of your body? Just eat a bullet man, fuck trying to recover.
