Equipped with a tripod, Flip camera, and several gallons of water, we teamed up with New Times photographer Jamie Peachey to document exactly how long it takes some common household objects take to liquify when exposed to blazing solar rays.

The result: A summertime series called Melt With You. Cue up the Modern English, DJ.

Tea light candles may make for good decoration accessories, but don’t you dare leave a bag of these tiny wax torches in your car accidentally on a hot summer’s day.

Will you step up to support New Times this year?

We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to you. If New Times matters to you, please take action and contribute today, so when news happens, our reporters can be there.

$30,000
