It was the gasoline and fire that actually started the fire, but the chips didn't hurt

What a stupid, clickbait headline. The chips had almost nothing to do with the fire.
“Nixa women blows up fighter jet with a spicy tortilla chip… She glued it to an anti-aircraft missile”
Headline isn't really clickbait. The police really did state that.
Court documents say Williams admitted to police that she started the fire intentionally. She said she used the chips because she knew they would support combustion because of the grease content.
That's what I'm saying! Like, take it easy already, DEA. I had almost nothing to do with that alleged “massive drugs ring”. So what if you say you have a “mountain of evidence”, you don't see Mt. Everest bragging.
"It didn't start the fire, though it may be spicy, it can't ignite things"
I was wondering why they weren't just using the brand name "Doritos" and was very surprised when it was Takis
Well played, news people

More research went into this article than 80% of the things I've read on newsweek
I once managed to almost burn my house down with taco shells (don't heat them up in a toaster...). So I think that is a smart idea (unlike my idea).
she obviously misunderstood the arson pro-tip about tortilla chips
I've heard about it but I'm not going to repeat it, because arson is bad
Potato chips burn easily and don’t leave a conspicuous residue like petroleum does.
For starting camp fires in a safe environment, obviously.
My friend says thanks for the tip.
When life gives you spicy tortillas...
I mean, that's how I feel on laundry day too, but if never do it....
Hot!
