All I can say for sure here is that Auntie Matter's chili was known to produce some massive explosions. Those in the immediate proximity who stood downwind of Ground Zero had the good fortune to spontaneously combust. Some others survived, but with the complete loss of all body hair. Farther away, a lizard grew many times larger, developed the ability to breathe fire, and attacked an industrialzed Asian island nation.
Good stuff, that chili.
