Today we have learned that leaving a bag of Starmix in a hot car results in a fused lump of multicoloured gel.

Genius/lunacy.
Same happened to us on 35degC drive to the Alps - congealed Jelly Babies.

mmmm, lovely, better than how the manufacturer intended.

try it... you might be surprised but not pleasantly. Melting and re-setting gummy sweets seems to turn them Into something not dissimilar to polyurethane. Jelly sweets like Jelly babies seem to be fine but gummy ones seem to go weird. There are companies that sell novelty 'world's largest gummy bears' made this way - basically by buying haribo in bulk, separating out the various colours and melting them and casting them in an oversized mould. The resulting material is something impervious to any kind of attack.

Or Marmite.
The next 'hot car' lessons (presumably you've already done the practical exercises for the 'children' and 'dogs' modules)
are:
Branding your face with the ray bans than were on the dashboard
The can of Irn Bru in the cupholder that has now congealed on every surface
Buying a pot plant as a birthday present and soon after presenting your mother with something that now looks like tinned spinach
also Wet Wipes are now just Wipes.
Or Dry Wipes if you like.
A dry wipe wine for the lady? <-- not sure what that means.
A dry wipe whine
....and melting an entire Dutch nettle cheese on to the rear parcel shelf leaves a smell that you can never get rid of.
Leaving a bag of Rolos in the car door means you have to eat it with a spoon.
Although it's probably also pretty good spread on a sandwich together with the haribo...
Left a M&S gift box of chocolate biscuits behind the drivers seat of my 1972 Beetle on a drive home to see my parents. The gift ended up being one very large biscuit owing to the heater pipe from the engine being right next to the box.
Once spent 14 hours on a train stuck at middle of the tracks outside Doncaster. Height of summer , train heating stuck on full blast, fellow passengers were near fainting from the heat.
No water on the train and no buffet carriage. I had a small bottle of appletise, which I made last and it was as hot as a cup of tea. To this day I cannot face the stuff, too many horrific memories.

Or Marmite
With peanut butter OR marmite? You monsters, I don't know how standards have sunk so low. With peanut butter AND marmite? Now that's more like it.
Since we're talking disgusting sandwich combos, my go to ride sarnie is butter, peanut butter and jam (or marmalade) with a good dash of marmite and a sliced banana. Tastes great and ticks all the boxes.
On the other hand peanut butter, marmite and reconstituted jelly babies is probably illegal
