Default Frozen Spark Plugs

When I was down at the Anacortes Oyster Run last weekend, one of the vendors there was selling these spark plugs that claim to give you more power, better gas mileage and less emissions. I asked the girl in the booth what is so special about them. She said that they have been "cryogenically frozen" so the molecules in the electrodes are now lined up.

They sell on their website for $12.50 each, so they must be good. lol

Has anyone heard of these before?

I wonder if any morons actually buy these things?

Here is their website: http://www.bluelightningsparkplugs.com/

I wonder if they have been "cryogenically " thawed after the freezing.

The cryogenic process give metal better lifespan making it more durable. I am guessing they are saying that the tips will last longer because of this process. What I would concern myself about is the ceramic part of the plug, I don't know how that would hold up in minus 300o temps.

Hey get a set of Champions just stick em in your freezer for a week and should be good to go. If you want to go really fast buy some dry ice and wrap em in that.

I tried a cryogenic ***** molecule reliner procedure....was going good till I suddenly turned to the left and it hit the door and snapped off. But at least it was straightened out. So I guess the procedure worked. Don't know about spark plugs..
