Fire from a can of Coke and a chocolate bar

Need to light a fire and all you have is a can of Coke and a chocolate bar? Try this idea: You use the chocolate bar and its wrapper to polish the surface of the bottom of the Coke can and make it shiny. Once you've shined it up you hold a small piece of tinder at the focal point of the parabolic reflector, in the sun, and you'll get a coal.
