It's Hot Enough in Australia to Melt a Chocolate Lindt Ball
Here's a new take on the old frying-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk trick.
With Australia locked in an intense heat wave – latest headline: "Melbourne a 'heat-island' death trap" – some folks are having a little fun with the ungodly weather. Folks like Evan Stainsby, who decided to replicate the old frying-an-egg-on-the-sidewalk experiment with a more toothsome treat, a Lindt truffle.
"It's hot in Melbourne this week," writes Stainsby. "I recorded this chocolate Lindt ball melting in a bluestone laneway in South Melbourne. It took just under 3 minutes to become a puddle of chocolate."
