This video is full of very poor science:
1. Non-dairy creamer may very well contain sodium aluminosilicate as an anticaking agent, but the aluminosilicate itself is NOT flammable. Creamer is only flammable because of its high surface area, same goes for the chili and the flour.
2. Calcium hypochlorite is NOT flammable, it is merely serving as an oxidizer. The brake fluid is what is burning. Brake fluid is made from various glycol ethers, and any other glycol (or glycerol for that matter) will do the same thing.
3. No shit. Stuff that’s full of alcohol/propane/butane is flammable? Who would have guessed?
