tilting the jar doesn't reach. made a makeshift punk and crap was out of control. almost started my own little fire. paper bursts out in flames pretty quickly.

I use paper actually. Toss it in the sink after you light the candle

turn the candle upside down, our nearly. let the flame go where it wants to naturally, up.

also should try not being Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

Pour a little veggie oil on the tip of a tightly wound piece of a paper. The oil will burn before the paper. Pretty much a miniature version of those sweet torches you see people make in movies. Also useful for lighting a pilot light.

Is there any way of lighting a candle without burning yourself all while not looking like a douche?

Yes! But it goes up in flames in less than a second. Then I lose it!

yeah. because the ridiculously poor and non aware college student pettMD (medical doctor) who doesn't even know what a candle lighter is, is obviously going to have some vegetable oil just laying around waiting to be used. mac n cheese, a frozen pizza and margarine instead of butter only i'm guessing. maybe a can of soup if he's lucky. i swear, it's like why even bother on here sometimes.

Could he light a ramen package on fire and drop it in the candle? Maybe break it into two pieces if it doesn't fit?

michigancat · « **Reply #23 on:** February 01, 2011, 07:53:48 AM »

Come to think of it, who needs candles when you can just light ramen on fire?

ramen on fire would be a good name for a band.

"hey you wanna go see grace potter in the festival tent over by the campground or ramen on fire on the sundown stage?".
"neither. i've gotta go look for molly over on shakedown street."
"alright. later."
