In all honesty, the theory is sound. Execution would be difficult, but if you are somewhere and in a situation where you need fire, and only have an orange, a rock and a stick, well I guess you make it work. |

"Using Only An Orange" .... and a knife, and a rock, and a stick.
Oh, and a syringe filled with isopropyl alcohol, and a strike anywhere match head on the end of the stick. |

dude, ya gotta let your audience off the hook at some point.
"tee hee, we don't tell them that we added a flammable substance while the orange was out of view."

There is a chemical in the orange skin of an orange peel. It is flammable, but there is no way putting a rock inside and 3 seconds of friction with a stick will start it on fire. |

notice how the orange was out of view when it caught on fire? im betting that either the camera guy or the "host" (for lack of a better term) poured rubbing alcohol or something similar into the orange and then lit it on fire while it was out of frame. |

He forgot to warn the viewers to wear proper eye gear to protect us from the showers of sparks created after you rub a stick on a wet rock for three seconds. |

The camera person was noisy. And somehow I actually feel dumb from watching this video. |

old news, its much more efficient to insert a pineapple rectally then rotate it profusely to create friction then quickly pull it out and voila! your pineapple will be blazing |

If you have a lighter, you can set fire to other things with less preparation... |

smaus : Ha-haa! spot-on!
I now understand why they have all those wild-fires in the states.
When the wind blows through the fruit-bearing branches in an orange grove, all them oranges kinda rub against each other, and the infammable vapor caused bah thuh frickshun starts a-flamin of the fruit. (etc...) |

It is not fake. The skin on the orange contains paraffin. It is not the citric acid that is flammable :P |

Shenanigans! They put lighter fluid in the orange when they panned away from the "experiment." |
