How to Make fire from potatoes, salt and toothpaste (FAKE?)

F for FAKE. This video has been labeled a "Faux-To". Commonly contested as bogus science, we believe this video to be a hoax. What's your opinion? Comment below.

Cut a potato in half. Hollow-out one side of the potato. Fill with mixture of salt and tooth paste. With tooth picks, poke holes to insert electrical wires into the other half of the potato. Assemble both halves and secure with tooth picks. Attach combustible material to one wire and wait 5 minutes. Connect wire and voila. FIRE!!!
