"You know how it is," Trevor Mogg reports for Digital Trends. "You're in your kitchen, boiling up your blue crayons, stirring spoon in one hand, iPhone in the other. As you scroll through your Twitter timeline, your phone slips from your hand, landing straight in the mass of melting blue goo. Will the handset survive?"
Hogg reports, "YouTube user TechRax used this unlikely scenario as the basis for possibly the most bizarre iPhone stress test we've seen yet."
"Highlighting his dedication to the cause but failing to explain why blue has to be the color, TechRax informs us at the start of the video, 'I had to get like 30 boxes because usually there's only one color in every box,' Mogg reports. "The unlucky handset at the center of this peculiar experiment is a 'beautiful, clean iPhone 6S… 10-out-of-10 condition.' Though it won't be for much longer."
What a waste of blue crayons. . . not to mention an Apple iPhone 6S. . . Video.
When testing with a liquid, do not be looking down at the pot.
I’d be watching from adequate cover.
My sister once learned what happens when you leave your big box of Crayons on the rear deck of your Dad’s almost-new 1959 Ford Fairlane with the windows rolled up on a VERY HOT summer day. It wasn’t a pretty sight.
Refer back to my criteria for doing this. . . ". . . an idiot." Mogg fulfills that criteria.
It is one of those things that when the Liberals get fully in charge of the bureaucracy will certainly be required to be included on the fine print of every product manufactured, imprinted on where the consumer can see it before attempting to use said product, along with the admonition to not ingest said product or to insert said product in any bodily orifice, especially while it is on fire or while sky diving, or while attempting to have consensual sex with a Gerbil.
You will also be required to read in full a disclosure of all these warnings, and check and initial each paragraph before purchasing the product, notarizing each initial and checkbox individually.
You finally leave your parent’s basement and you take all the money you saved from your job at Blockbuster to buy Crayons and an I-phone which you then destroy to entertain your on-line buddies.
This country is doomed.
The stupidity runs strong in that one.
What you say is too close to the truth to be regarded or dismissed as pure satire.
