Zippo Tricks

There is no good reason to have a Zippo unless you are this guy, capable of doing countless tricks to the beat of crappy techno. Don’t get me wrong—they’re great lighters. But due to the inverse lighter-value-to-loss ratio you’ll always be better off buying a Bic. I forgot that recently and spent $30 on a custom engraved one. It’s somewhere here in the apartment, I’m fairly certain, but I’ll never see it again, because I spent more than $1.

Can you believe that three years ago the web site ZippoTricks.com was shuttered under pressure from the US National Fire Protection Association? What horseshit.
