Really?  That's even lower temperature than I thought.	I'd figured it
was
melting at least above the boiling point of water.  

I'll toss one into a cup of boiling water tonight and see what happens. 
If they
really melt that THAT low a temperature, they might not be good for

(especially the hot car thing)
