No Matches to Light Your Candle? Head to Your Kitchen Cupboard for This Clever Pasta Trick

Here’s a tip you’ll probably wish you had thought of earlier. Have you ever tried to light a deep-set candle with a short match? The result is usually all sizzle and no flame. But, with a little stopover in your pantry, you can make lighting these kinds of candles a breeze. Just grab one strand of uncooked spaghetti. Then, use a match or lighter to ignite one end. Or, light it on your gas hob.

You’ll reach those deep candle wicks with ease. Plus, it’s good to know how easily spaghetti burns if you ever need quick lighting material. For instance, you might want to carry a pack in your car for a camping night.
