    Lighters last a super long time and they don’t contain batteries which is the real concern.

      Lighters last a super long time

      flashbacks to last 4th of July where we needed to get 4 different disposable lighters before one worked
      Not that the actual lighters are any better, those dry out on their own with no use.

        Hate to be a shill, but were they of the Bic brand or were they shitty knock offs?

          I don’t remember probably about a 50/50, chance. We just get whatevers at the store because we hardly use lighters

        I bought a dispose lighter of £1 from the middle of Lidl, It works fine over 6 months later. What don’t work are those multipack ones there’s a reason they’re in a multi-back and it’s because they’re all terrible.
