If you have this Snowman Snow Globe from Hallmark Cards, beware! The jumbo-sized snow globe can act as a magnifying glass when exposed to sunlight and ignite nearby materials!

I totally have that snowman! It’s a-freaking-dorable! I guess I’ll just have to make sure it stays out of the sun…
Awesome Mustache
“The snow globe measures 11 by 12 by 17 inches.”
That’s no moon… It’s a snowglobe!

I’m glad I don’t have one. I would have far too much fun with ants after hearing this. No, I never did grow up.
Name
FYI
It’s the $100, (2 feet tall), one that was recalled, not the small, normal sized one, or the wobbling snowmen that look the same.
Eeyore
For safety, be sure to place this snow globe where the sun does not shine.
Easy
My parents have a vase that almost set fire to their house! They got home and found a burnt hole in the tablecloth that was smoking… lucky it didn’t go up. Turns out the vase happened to be shaped so that if the sun was hitting it directly from any angle at all, it focused it into a direct beam about 15cm away from the vase.
Now they keep it in the shade.
