Ah, the flaming bag of dog poop. No doubt this approaches the Platonic form of the perfect prank. But one problem: the poop itself will not catch fire unless extremely dry - which would defeat the whole point of the prank.
Enter BUNGCO'S new Paraffin Dog Treat. These waxy boones are impregnated
with ham and other things dogs find delectable. The paraffin and other waxes are gnawed away and eventually find their way to the stool. The result: a candle like poop, capable of catching fire and sustaining flame.
Fill the paper bag with these moist prizes, light the bag, ring the doorbell and cackle with glee!
Okay so it's not exactly a TREAT

Certainly you can find something more useful to do with the results of this

I think paraffin wax would have all sorts of side effects on your dog's metabolism (diarrhea, perhaps) that would still ultimately thwart you. |
|
| |
yeah, you'd have to swap the bag for a bottle; Molodog cocktail! |
|
| |
This idea is so bizarre I have to give it a croissant.
Keep up the good work! |
|
| |
Your dog would likely have to have a 'No Smoking' sign attached to it to avert catastrophe. |

Against my better judgement, I must vote for this idea. [although I'm going to search and see if Daniel is related to the {waxy boones}] |
|
| |
Some cat treats or foods have paraffin in them to control hairballs. |
|
| |
Any knowledge on resulting flammability? |
|
| |
I thought the point of this prank would be that the victim would come outside, and on seeing the burning bag would quickly stamp on it to put it out, spreading the contents around their feet and doorstep.
Although the burning poo may well act like napalm, adding to the fun. |

This is fun to read because 'paraffin' is used in 3 different ways in the idea and annotations: |
|
| |
1) Paraffin wax - what [bungston] means? Main component of cheap candles, solid at room temperature, won't burn without a wick unless you get it really hot. |
|
| |
2) Medicinal liquid paraffin - low toxicity, used to releave constipation, what [bristolz] refers to. Low flammability. |
|
| |
3) What some countries call kerosine, aka lighting paraffin, hydrocarbon fraction heavier than gasoline/petrol, burns easily if heated somewhat or soaked into a rag etc, the one that might need a 'no smoking' sign. |
