best tool to have on your person if you were trapped in a graham cracker head cage

 Your head has been placed in a cage made entirely of graham cracker. Your arms and legs are restrained. What tool could you use to escape. See if you can figure out the riddle before reading the answer


Answer: Before you have the graham cracker cage put on your head, leave a trail of highly addictive Doritos crumbs from the entrance of an ant colony to your open mouth several yards away. One by one, eat the ants until you reform the colony in your gullet. After the cage has been placed on your head, you can simply open your mouth and the hungry ants will crawl out and make quick work of the cage. Afterwards you can do whatever you want. 

Or like, something that makes your teeth grow out. Like a narwhal horn. Put Patented Goodstein Narwhal Sleeper DNA in your pituitary gland that you can call upon to make your tooth grow out and then gouge a hole through your graham cracker tomb.

What else? I guess you could just vomit and then that would make the graham cracker soggy and then you could thrash your head around violently until the compromised structure breaks loose. That's probably the worst option.

Other things. Other things.

Oh instead of vomiting you could just have a mouthful of water or milk when they put the cage on. Same process as before but much less gross.

One time I was scrolling and I saw this post from tumblr telling a story about a time a cousin fell in a blackberry bush and later they found a blackberry vine growing under his skin and I never bothered to look into the truth of that until now but it turns out: not true. Plants can't do that. 

And another thing I'll say is this: it doesn't sit right with me that things on Earth can be brighter and hotter than the Sun. That feels spiritually wrong. The Sun should be the limit on brightness and hotness. Anything else: devilish behavior.

I think lit matches are hotter. not brighter though, that's obvious. but they must be hotter. I put my thumb over the sun? Doesnt burn me at all, also it (meaning my thumb) is bigger so thats great. but yeah no heat from the sun, no damage. except maybe if I left my thumb there for like hours and hours and then it got a bad sunburn on it.

But if I put my thumb over a lit match? Like really close but not so close so as to accidentally pull that party trick where you snuff out a candle or match with your thumb and pointer finger? If you DONT do that??? Burns. hurts real bad. gotta get mom to help. Don't gotta get mom to help for thumb-sun, unless you stay there too long. So don't do that.

Matches hotter than sun. Devils??
