Burning 2538 Ping Pong Balls

excerpt from yt description:
"If you look around online, you'll see people lighting ping pong balls while holding them. Usually what they are doing is lighting the ball from the top. No matter where you light it, most of the heat escapes above the ball, but they burn so rapidly, it's a bad idea to try to hold one. You'll almost certainly burn yourself, plus you could catch your clothes or hair on fire. Also, there is a chance the ball could explode, which would spread the flame and may result in injury.

A better way to light a ping pong ball is to set it on a fire safe surface (e.g., metal bowl, brick) and light it with a long-handled lighter. The flame shoots up fairly high, so don't lean over it and do keep it away from anything flammable. It's best to do this outdoors, unless you want your smoke alarm to go off."
