Interesting for the emergency blanket in a box dryer; I never would have thought of that. I've heard of one being used to help reflect heat from a fire back onto a person, but never attached that idea to drying out wet clothes.

Please tell me though that the beer spill was accidental and not a planned part of the test. I would have cried if I had to sit and drink a bottle of water waiting for beer to dry out of a jacket instead of the other way around.
