Doritos make good kindling? Who knew??

I had a professor in one of my law classes who said if someone wanted to burn down their house or start a fire, to use a bag of potato chips

Laced with oil, they'll ignite quickly and burn and fire investigators will have a hard time determining the cause because there won't be any traces of an accelerant like gas, kerosene, etc, and just about every house out there has a bag of chips in their cupboard

The hack about putting a glass of liquid (e.g., ice tea etc.) in the freezer with a wet paper towel wrapped around it to cool it down in a few minutes actually works. I'm not sure how it works. But I tried it today. And yes.

Not sure how it works, but the wet paper towel was almost dry after 15 minutes in the freezer. And the ice tea in the glass was so cold it had a thin layer of ice on top. IT'S MAGIC!!
