It's a question that has plagued scientists for centuries. Can you bake a tube of Pillsbury chocolate chip cookie dough in a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan on a hot day? The scientists at KICK Laboratories (aka myself, Sam and Ben with nothing better to do) grabbed a baking pan and put the debate to rest once and for all.

As you can see, they didn't QUITE fully bake, but close enough. And I think this speaks to a larger issue: Please, please, please, PLEASE, don't leave your pets or children in a hot car unattended. For any amount of time. Not even for just a few minutes. If a car can get hot enough to almost bake cookies, imagine what it's doing to a living, breathing thing.
