HEROES NEVER DIE
I cleaned out my car a couple months ago and found an engraved zippo that was an anniversary gift from an ex girlfriend.

It still has never been used.

Zippos say to me "dont smoke but carry a lighter around for some reason??"

in iceland its not uncommon not to carry a lighter so you have an excuse to start a conversation with someone by asking for a light though sometimes this backfires when nobody can find anyone who actually has a lighter on them

Used one, they run out of fuel instantly due to evaporation.

One guy at the office bought one of those refill tanks for the butant zippos and left it when he went back to India. Pretty sure it was a super fire hazard to leave at the office.

The zippo tricks take alot of practice and if you gently caress them up in public it makes you look like a super loser.

Regular Zippos kind of suck tbh. Dirty, smelly and unreliable(like your mom). A butane insert probably makes them usable though.


I'd rather just buy a bic every so often.

Bics run for lomger than 99pc of zippos as well. Zippo owners have to spend a great deal of time showing others their zippo and it depletes the fuel much quicker.

why would you buy a zippo when you can make your own at home with simple ingredients from the store?

Pretty soon the hipsters will abandon their zippos for a pocket knife and piece of flint, and it will be cool to have one again.

Just go for the solid block of magnesium with the striker. Much cooler to carry a big wad of potentially flammable metal in your pocket.

We used to steal huge wads of magnesium in Chemistry class and go and light it on the school playing fields.

That was just how we rolled in 1995.
