Gary Jackson: Fire When Ready Pottery
A Chicago potter’s somewhat slanted view of clay & play
Categories: friends, summer camp

During our FEAST potluck lunch, another metals camp instructor stopped by to join in the fun. And she was promptly challenged to squeeze ten Takis atomic, flaming hot chips in her mouth. Susan tried… and tried… and squeezed… and squeezed… all the time knowing that the atomic fire flavoring would kick in soon!!!

Susan got them all in her mouth, but couldn’t actually eat them. She couldn’t crunch down without losing half of them. So she claimed a “technicality” and said that “eating them” was never part of the original challenge. Whatever?! She was still feeling the burn well after she spit them out… and the kids were still quite amused. Mission accomplished.
