But I’m not allowed to use it anymore because I set fire to a chocolate bar.

Huh. TIL.

Chocolate, or more so cocoa, is highly flammable. If it catches fire, the blaze is difficult to extinguish since cocoa powder contains 10 to 20 per cent fat and has a huge surface area. Yes, chocolate is flammable. Most solid foods possess at least some level of flammability because they are organic, and chocolate is no exception.

See, I don't see how one would have known that without having actually experimented and set a chocolate bar on fire, though.
