Once I threw the flaming napkin into the sink it went out. However, it left a brown mark in the sink that I can't seem to get out. What should I use to clean the sink and get rid of the "burn" marks. Ps- The sink is just regular, nothing special like marble or anything. The burn color is a light brown around the top of the sink.

A burn isn't just something deposited on the surface. Fire and heat changes the chemical makeup of the sink material itself. It's not just a "stain" that you can scrub off (unless you scrub hard enough to remove the burned material). You're either going to have to cover it up by resurfacing the sink, or buy a new sink.

Actually I have never had this problem, so I don't know if this will work or not, but I have had good success with getting other stains out of my sink with Steel Glo. It says it is a stainless steel and copper cleaner, but my sink is acrylic, I think. This product is made by the Bon Ami Company. Hope this helps.

Go to the store and find a scrubbing product called "Barkeeper's Friend" (usually found near the Comet).
Get the sink wet, sprinkle it on the area, scrub it around to make a "paste" and let it sit till it dries. Then re-moisten and scrub with a green scrubby. If it's going to come up at all, this will work. If it's meant to be there forever, then nothing will help.

No, you cannot clean the burn, but you may be able to lightly sand it away. I'm assuming this is one of those white sinks?
Try Ajax or Comet. The kind in the can that you sprinkle out. Use lightly with a damp(not dripping wet, just barely wet) rag and see if you can scrub it off.
