The path begins with the first step. If you have children, sit down with the other parents and suggest something like this. A few positive votes are enough, even if not everyone participates. Go to the nearest fire station and ask if they would participate. Every firefighter is more in favor of prevention than extinguishing fires. Et voila, there is the demonstration.

My mom, who is an elementary school teacher, once got an opportunity to demonstrate it during a cooking lesson. Admittedly though, that was entirely accidential, she had just let the oil get too hot because she was distracted by something the students did. So she suddenly had a big old gout of flame on her stove and had an opportunity to show the class what to do about it, making sure to also explain that you should never use water on burning fat, though she couldn't demonstrate what would happen for obvious reasons.

It's manipulative and bordering on evil, especially the ones where they promote dangerous and harmful practices.

But, obviously, if the flames go around the paper, everything above the water can easily burn. So if the pringles can is filled to the top, the plastic won't go far past 100°C, which also depends on the other ingredients. If there's a lot of oil in it that could go up to 200°C and melt the plastic into the food. If the can isn't filled to the top, the plastic might heat up to flash point and burn your house down, but I don't know the flash point of the plastic lining, so I also don't know if it's at all possible to set it on fire in an electrical oven. I'm also not very eager to try it out 🤣 I'm with her husband on that one: Pringles? Really? Whyy???? 🤣 So, maybe don't try it at home, it's not exactly safe if you don't know what you're doing. Also, I don't know what the melting point of the lining is, but I do know that at least on type of polyethylene reshapes at 100°C. Sooooooo, maybe the plastic lining might melt onto your food depending on what you're making in it. Then again, with pringles and cola already in it I doubt that plastic is gonna be an issue. You'll poop it out anyway and it's soft.

It really annoys me that food youtubers very consistently ignore the advice of every fire service around and use open pans for frying stuff instead of thermometer controlled deep fat fryers with lids (which are so cheap). Shout out to @mrbarrylewis for being the only prominent food youtuber I've ever seen regularly use a deep fat fryer. In Anne's case there's a reason for this and Townsends gets a pass given they didn't exist in the 18th century. But for more youtubers there's no other reason than it looks slightly better on camera. But deal with it, it's less visual but people aren't going to burn their houses down. Chip pan fires as they are called in the UK are still responsible for a very very large proportion of house fires and this is in spite of massive massive reductions of the number of people frying food at home since the 70s and 80s.

I learned about the water on an oil fire issue when I was a child around 8. My mom had made beef ribs that night and put the tray they cooked on, on the back of the stove. Someone had accidentally hit a burner turning it on. I walked through the kitchen and saw the fire and immediately thought water would put it out so I grabbed a glass of water and threw it on the fire. Everyone came running to my scream of fear as the fire erupted. My mom's boyfriend put the fire out and immediately taught me why you don't put water on an oil fire and how to properly put one out. We were lucky everyone came running quickly because there wasn't much damage from the fire.

My son (6 or so years old) was messing around with a large citronella candle at our campsite one summer. It was coffee-can size, and almost gone but for a couple inches of wax left in the bottom. He was sticking little wick-like bits of wood in and lighting them, pouring melted wax around, just playing with a candle like you do. At some point there were rather a lot of lit sticks and you could tell he was feeling a bit out of control. Our friends’ son tried to help… and poured some water in to put it out. 😬 Yeah. Don’t do that. The fireball that resulted was truly terrifying. My son ended up with no eyebrows or eyelashes, and singed hair and a couple first degree burn areas on his face and neck. It could have been so much worse, but it was bad enough! The poor kid that doused it with water was so apologetic, he obviously had no idea THAT was going to happen. Ugh. A scary event.

Furthermore, people might be more inclined to share it to go "look how stupid and dangerous this content farm is being!" which still drives views their way. Therefore, I'm pretty sure they actively post dangerous content because it makes them money through engagement and if there are no downsides to spreading dangerous instructions on a platform that's as good an incentive as any.

At the museum I worked at, I was a member of the safety committee. We had a couple firemen come out and start a fire in the back parking lot, where we then learned how to use a large fire extinguisher. I still remember PASS - Pull (the pin from the extinguisher), Aim (the nozzle), Squeeze (the trigger for the extinguisher), and Sweep (sweep the extinguisher from left to right and back again, as long as you need to smother the fire and the remaining embers/heat source). Every child should learn the acronym and have their local fire brigade show a safe demonstration. Every house should have at minimum two small extinguishers in kitchen and bathroom in case of electrical, gas or cigarette fires. We have three - two small and one standard size, and they are replaced upon expiration. My father saw people die in a house fire as a child, and he was terrified of fire the rest of his life. It was not something anyone should experience.

Just an FYI for the oil fire one; if your pot or pan doesn't have a suitable lid to cover it, a wet dish cloth will suffice. Don't drop the wet cloth *in* the oil, lay it over top of the pot or pan so that it covers it and cuts off the oxygen. Even better, you can buy fireproof cloths specifically for this purpose at most hardware stores.

Awful thing is that she will argue with me when I tell her that the recipe is bunk.

We had an oil fire demonstration at one of my school fairs in New Zealand. It would last about 20 minutes where they would go though and show us how to deal with different fires and make an escape plan for if there was ever a fire in our house. They would do these throughout the whole two days and it was very effective as I still use what they talked about 5 years later

You've got the dairy and fat needed from the whipped cream, plus some dried milk from the pudding mix, airiness/fluffiness from the whipped cream, sweetness from both, with some flavor from the pudding mix, and lastly some sort of setting agent from the pudding mix. That's essentially how you'd make a traditional mousse if you were making it from scratch.

I haven't even finished the video, but I had to come say you're a saint for showing the ketchup reaction, and warning people. I am still healing from deepfrying chicharrones de harinas. I had washed my hands and just got a little water on my dry chicharrones, but the oil exploded and flew up, hitting me in the face. I've burned myself deep frying before, but this one really sucked since it hit the delicate skin on my chin and lip, instead of just my hand. I'm deep frying with plate armor and a shield bearing my family's crest, from now on. Be careful when deepfrying guys.

About the Pringles recipe: The Pringles tube is made with cardboard, aluminium foil... and plastic liner. This plastic is food-safe if never gets warm, but if you put it in the oven, lots of nasty chemicals from the plastic will mix with your food. Never put something in the oven or microwave if it's not designed to go there.
