Can You Come Up with an Original Idea?

Nexstar’s KSEE (Fresno), the station that brought you this, did a story that I first saw back in the 1980’s.

Is it hot enough to bake cookies in your car.

KSEE placed two sheets of cookies in the car, to see if they baked.

The station says that “…the car’s temperature registered at 100 degrees Fahrenheit when we began and 110 degrees Fahrenheit when the experiment was done.”

That’s it, I just checked the temperature on my car sitting here in Florida and at 2:55 PM the inside of my car was 124 degrees, and it’s not even in direct sunlight.

If you look at the back of Toll House cookies, it says they should be cooked at 350 degrees, which if my math is right, is a lot more than 110 degrees.

The station writes, “After cooking in the car for three-and-a-half hours – and having our newsroom taste test them, we determined you can bake cookies in a hot car – but would not recommend doing it regularly as it can take some time!”

Well, thank you Captain Fucking Obvious.

I know it’s hard to come up with an original idea, but can we find something that hasn’t been done for decades?

I would write more, but I’m going out to see if you can fry an egg on the sidewalk. I don’t think that has ever been done before.
