There is a surprising amount of energy in food. It's also possible to make a thermic lance using materials such as spaghetti or bacon: https://hackaday.com/2011/02/11/thermic-lance-made-from-spag...

It seems like one of those things that shouldn't be surprising. We eat food for the calories, the same ones that feed the fire.

There's a snack food in Finland called Hot Rods that ignite pretty easily with an ordinary match. It grosses people out but hey, that's calories !

Earlier quoted context omitted.

the visual in my mind of someone doing this is just not good. hillarious, but not good. thanks for that. I will have to include this in an as yet unwritten comedy script about the Odd Couple like roommates

It's actually not that bad, its like doritos but chicken flavor.

Everything you just said is literally that bad.

You can do the same thing with Cheetos. They're great as kindling for starting campfires.
