Apparently bad quality chocolate (grainy) works better for shining up the base of the can than smooth chocolate. I wonder if you could make a lens from a piece of clear hard candy like a magnifying glass? <strong>RESPONSE:</strong> yeah - I read that Mythbusters did a bit on it after it showed up on the net. Never saw that one though. Clear hard candy as a magnifying glass? I bet that would be HARD to get the candy just right. Might be doable though. --Brian Mythbusters also did a bit on this (they did all sorts of ways to start a fire without matches/lighter).
