I used to put different stuff into bunsen burner flames to make pretty colours
then I progressed to burning piles of aluminium powder mixed with other stuff....until I found out that heatproof mats aren't actually heatproof

ever managed to melt a glass in half?
I did... while trying to melt chocolate in a glass in a microwave. It looked cool! I wish we still had it (it ended up smashed)
( Rev. Cleo still alive, Thu 26 Aug 2004, 20:43, archived)

haha
we were at a family friends house and there was a glass candle next to me. eventually the wax burned to where the flame was right next to the glass holder and it melted and broke off.

The microwave still works as well.
The glass was fun to drink out of.
