Your Life Could Depend On These Everyday Items

Lip Balm Candle

You might not realize it, but everyday lip balm is made from petroleum. That means that lip balm can be used as a long-burning fuel source in the event of an emergency. To make candles out of tubes of lip balm, first find a match, bit of string, or even a shoelace. Coat this in the lip balm, then stick one end through the tube of balm to serve as a wick. A new tube of balm will burn for over two hours.
