In the video here, you will see, as promised, a can of Coca-Cola devoured by lava. There are two cans, even. I am hypnotized by this. Is it the juxtaposition of the incredibly mundane with the inherently exotic? Is it a subtle, sharp commentary on commercialism worming its way subconsciously into my brain? Is it the reversal of human creations encroaching on nature, and a reminder of the Earth's occasionally frightening power? It is probably not. Also: red hot nickel ball is still better.
