Pretty cool! A can of Wood's Navy Rum would be even more useful, though. You could use it to aid in the ignition, and drink from it to keep warm while waiting.

Being pedantic I suppose you do also require the sun in order to start the fire. But I guess that "Making fire with a can of coke, a chocolate bar and 5500 deg.C, 2x10^30 kilo heat source." doesn't sound quite as impressive. ;o)
