[AngelsCalledWalkers]

Pretty awesome man. Just bc I couldn't get it to work don't mean anything. I'm gne get a copper and a zinc coated wire and give it a try. Any tips would be great.

[mysterion1213]

[DaveAussie98]

that fire looks fake!

[MriLLTryiT]

more llike how to start a fire with a green lazer out of frame. Fake and lame if you know anything about electronics, current and batteries, Lame.

[yoganpoke]

what did u do with the red wire when you put the potato together?? does it need to touch the substance?

[91giant]

could't do it!!!! please man help me...im a NERD!!!

[eligindahouse]

why do u need toothpaste and salt?

[SKYGUY03]

Chemistry....... (^_^)

Now can you please explain to me witch chemical the tooth past uses to react with the the salt and the potato?

[MrPaintballman1993]

MacGyver... You've been replaced.

[EternaIDeathForce]

Bill: Damn, my lighters not working!

John: Don't worry I'll light your cigarette, have you got a potato, salt, toothpaste, 2 toothpicks and 2 wires?

Bill: uh... no?

[seanybo2011]

dat was a waist of 198 seconds of my life man

[heloizyjhenifer]

@seanybo2011 Probably worth more than your life still

[stefanel1979]

this is not your video  make you stole it

[chevato9]

Didnt work bro:(

[stefanel1979]

@chevato9 it works u need fresh white potato and the toothpaste must be the gel one not the clasic one and the coper wires but be at least 2 cm inside of the potato

[lytwielder]

Too bad you didn't light your cigarette before the fire burned out.

[tulaalut]

it didnt work :(

[theeviltrees]

Cool Trick, I tried it but it didn't work, after a bit of research I found out one wire needs to be copper and the other zinc coated... just to let you all know

[TheMrJaagoo]

there's a hidden nazism message in that salt can

[deyvid139]

music music music music

[erminthon88]

Title should be "how to make fire with a potato, toothpicks, wires, a spoon, toothpaste, a knife, cotton and salt" . . . I'll post a video on how to buy a lighter.

[Exzadara615]

That poor potatoe never saw it coming QQ.

[landau96]

didnt work dno what i did wrong:L

[Sandninja666]

Not a bad idea

[specioss]

lol wats funny is, this actually worked

[ImperiousViking]

why do you need the potato?

isn't it just the salt and the paste reacting?

[kcorbrock]

i did try this it dont work you lier

i did it the write way too!

[shotgunjimmy309]

@kcorbrock you need to do it the "right" way, not the write way.

[winkiedinkielive]

2 words...SECCOND LIGHTER

[pwningtoenail]

hot wire a potato?

[ruen109andcoa17]

ya cuse your lighters out so your gonna carry a patatio and all this other sht instead of a lighter

[Tautius]

the music is horrible

[smileyicecream143]

I have to say I did that and it didn't work snif snif :(

I ended with a potato stuffed with tooth paste lol

[ROBwithaB]

I'm still trying to understand how this works.

If the wires are both the same metal, how do you get an electrical potential between them? They're both embedded in the same material.

There has to be some sort of difference between the two for electrons to actually flow, surely.

Of course, if you just hid a 9-volt battery in a hollowed-out potato, that would work. But I can't see where you might have edited the video.

Hmmm......

[awesomesam27yobrotha]

ok so how does this work

[fatsotomuscles]

People make'n fun of this, but when those clowns really need a fire, they would wish they had remembered what goes in the potato besides their dicks.

[MrURBANNINJA]

please reply my question,any one know....????

[MrURBANNINJA]

i try about thousand time ,but y it does not work... i want to ask you ..

-are you mixed the colgate and the salt, or cover the salt by the colgate..

-can i use any type of colgate...

-the quantity of salt??

-is it true, one of the wire touch the colgate and salt, other one touch the potato surface..???

[person4783]

does it really work?

[TwardyDziadek]

no co za wkurwiająca muzyka.

[fauzanad33m]

what happens if i don't put cotton on the end of the wire?

[battlerealms95]

sparkle of fire like you connect the accu

[bigdud12345]

2 much work dude u cant use this in the wild

[awesomesam27yobrotha]

@bigdud12345 haha unless a plane crashed u could find some wires... but ud have to bring a potato

[fernando1432]

[TONYMARTI2007]

[Ulose97]

[zohebk1]

[azis091]

[MadazRx8]

awesome its just like the curiosity show when i was little :D

[triplexsc]

thats awsome

[crypto14a]

why the fuck do u need toothpicks???

[proudbaloch]

to tightly close the potato

[Kinderrs]

to stick both sides of potato together

[MetallicaFanNoOne]

Its to make shure the potato stays in plance=)

[davoyeabuddy]

@MetallicaFanNoOne

where do you get the wires from?

[fabbyboy1]

@MetallicaFanNoOne did you mix the salt with the toothpaste?

or did you just lay the paste on the salt?

[deyvid139]

@crypto14a yes and no we only need it to hold the patato (the 2 parts)

[PyroJesusFreak]

Awesome vid man. Next time my lighter doesn't work ill do this. LOL

[happydude77]

wow cool.. but where do you get a potato? hardware store?

[PyroJesusFreak]

are you serious?

[happydude77]

i was kidding.. lol .. geeez

[sadmax82]

a potato is a food u idiot

[RUL1S88]

Potato has lots of energy inside. If this video were fake then this video rating won't be 4.5 stars.

[MetallicaFanNoOne]

If you really cant see that this is not fake, just try it, if you're not too poor.. and if u cant do it, either you did it with the wrong stff, ot you have a lack of IQ

[battlerealms95]

and a toy :)

[iwillavengeyou]

@sadmax82 patato is a food, yet there is enough electricity in it that you can light a small lightbulb.....

[95amor]

cool

[planetpainters]

what the fucks the point of the toothpaste and salt ?

[Sawan67]

Execellent

[killerkill10]

"filled" potato now, clock is 06:26 so i hope i dont make a big fire or something :P

[HuiHms]

i'ma try this once i get my hands on a potatoe..........

[yik555]

that is cool.

[Crazyjoshman]

kick ass thats freakin awesome

[sharmainsan]

AWESOME! :D

[jwoodthegreat]

that was badass

[chimer55]

is there any kind of toothpast u need? or is it just anything goes?

[kaykoyasuddin]

kl vid, nice song.

[darkpiggy12]

how many times can it light something

[pureluck2]

Liar

[Carcinoma2087]

very cool

[dvdkorn]

DUDE THAT ACUALLY WORKS! im amazed. i watched another video like this and the guy just lit paper of fire lol....fuckin douche

[jeffdeathzz]

love ur song^^

[TheHollowFootman]

Ha, that is amazing :)

Does it have to be a certain type of toothpaste?

[HollyTheFireNinja]

To be safe, probably use gel toothpaste.

[jjakasexyjoe]

this tune is sick! wer can i get it...?

[colazer]

does have to be a potatoe

[iaziian]

cool.

[Kleinalrik]

This cannot work. The wires must be made of different metals at least.

[iphonefreak22]

wrong i tryed it and it worked

[PiranhaBytesGothic]

Does the wires have to touch the toothpaste?

[wecool20]

yes i THINK the toothpaste and salt combination create a tiny bit of electricity which is sent up through the wires and egnites the cotton

[NCONiall]

Yeah

[PiranhaBytesGothic]

Whats the song name? Please Reply

[PiranhaBytesGothic]

Got it its ok and 5/5 stars

[wwebserfer]

прикольно))

[jazminermrz]

wow!!!

[02049202]

Basically what's happening is the wire with the cotton wool on it is getting charged and then the charge is dissipated when the other wire touches it creating a spark lighting the wool on fire. (simplest physics explanation possible)

It's clever, but I don't think a smoker could wait 5 minutes before he could get his fag ^^

[hapicab]

potatos has high potassium content that why.

[JorryanzBlog]

can you jump a car batter with this?

[REDEYEPRODUCTION2009]

Lame, I tried it thinking it would be cool to show off to friends. Dosent work at all, just a time waster.

[DrMabuuse]

Well go on and carry all this stuff in case ure lighter's out. Nice trick, but only for show.

[MetallicaFanNoOne]

It is only 4sho, i'm just showing a cool trick xD

[forsurenoob]

@MetallicaFanNoOne just pray no one thinks it's a gourmet potato :P

[666zeuscro666]

He is make battery. Fruits and vegetables can be simple batteries.

[chasemano789]

How does this work like a scientific explanation???

[slh86]

man you kick ass with that ^^

[zebibey]

wow thats totally cool :)

[namybot]

this is crap i wouldn@t need this on a desert island

[bustincapz]

dood i saw this on another site

[vietboy321123]

LMAO COOL

[5pot1]

clever :)

[andyhan123]

Guys, you don't have to waste time on the extra stuff like toothpaste. Potatoes can be made into batteries and therefore light cottons. I did the experiment in primary school with 6 potatos and I lit a small light bulb. Tomatoes and lemons also work.

[thecarrotdude]

how does it work?

[IAR440]

jizzed in my pants..
