Pinterest Possibilities ~ Candle out of an Orange

According to Pinterest and Youtube you can make an emergency candle out of an orange. All you need is
- an Orange
- a knife
- matches
- oil

After following the directions on the Youtube video I lit my candle.  Amazingly, it worked! But I noticed that it didn't work for long. The oil gets sucked up the 'wick' and burns off quickly.

In case of emergency - Have candles.
