It's Friday again! Everyone's favorite day of the week (as long as it doesn't get stuck on repeat or anything like that). It's been a busy week, just like every week, but we've got a healthy mix of awesome articles to get you through the rest of your work... maybe with a [Boxcar brew](http://boxcarbrewingcompany.com/) ('tis the season)? Either way, continue reading below, and we hope everyone has a great, fun-filled weekend ahead!

## Charge Your Phone with Fire

I know you didn’t realize you needed this, but if you’re an avid camper, this new tech coined “FlameStower” allows you to charge your phone utilizing the heat from flames, stoves—hot stuff, mostly. The cool thing: unlike solar chargers, this device works day or night as long as you have some heat. So next time you’re trying to take that perfect horizon shot for your Instagram and your phone dies, fear not.

(As long as you know how to light a fire. That part’s important.)

 

## Carlton Draught Beer Commercial

In the world of good beer commercials, this might be one of the best we’ve ever seen. A humorous take on a classic car chase, Carlton takes four bank robbers on an epic chase—without spilling a single drop, which is the important part, right?

# The Beloved Brands

Ever wonder what the most loved brand in the world is? Fear not, APCO Worldwide put together a list of the top 100 brands based on a survey they conducted of 70,000 consumers. The top performers? Rounding out the top five were Disney, Yahoo (surprised?), Google, Sony, and Nestle.

The kicker? 5 out of the top 20 were born post-internet.
