    Guess I should have read the box. Thought they were "Strike Anywheres"

    The second article even has waterproof types, read to the end.

    Are "Strike Anywheres" possibly outlawed now?

    Looks like Chile has the monopoly on strike anywheres.

    Ohio Blue tips were THE strike anywhere match when I remember.

    Guessing a liability lawyer got involved.
     
    I see boxes of the strike anywhere at gunshots often.......

    Google says available at ACE Hardware, $1.59, box of 300.......


    I bought these at Ace.

    Im a rewards member trying to get over $35 in purchases to get $10 off.

    Stihl 50:1 gas was $34.94 so I figured I'd throw in a box of Strike Anywheres for a couple of bucks.

    I got burned, pun intended.

    Figures that you bought gas and the first thing you thought to get was matches...?
     
    Reminds me of lighting firecrackers with strike anywhere matches, as a kid, about 10 y/o. I through them in the air and caught them, but the matches struck against each other and the whole box when up in smoke and flames! I never did that, again!

    Google is not your friend and neither is amazon. Flush out your headgear.

    Hey, dumb, dumb. A guy posts on an **Internet** forum that he was having a hard time finding self-strike matches. Google search: boom, there they are.

    Are you really so obtuse you didn't get that point? Apparently so.

    I wasn't having a hard time find SA matches.

    Only reason I bought them was to break $35.

    Just shocked Blue Tips are no longer SA and it sucks we ship em in from Chile.

    Hey, you were the idiot who said he hard time finding self-strike matches, and didn't even notice the box he bought were not self-strike matches even though it said right on the box they were not. It must be hard being you. LOL.

    Read post ten slowly.

    Get a small child to help you with the understanding of it.

    It was about Google, not the Search. Or are you really so obtuse you didn’t get that point? Apparently so. ?

    Should have had that small child with you when you bought your box of matches. LOL.

    Centmasterbator,

    I only bought the box of matches to break $35 and get to use my $10 coupon.

    There were two things at hand.....a box of matches and feminine hygiene wipes.

    I left the wipes for you.

    Hey PM, shoot me your address and I'll drop a healthy supply of Diamond strike anywhere in the mail first chance I get. I buy that shit cheap as fuck, like a couple bucks for a ten pack of the little boxes, plenty of big boxes around too. I have that shit all over the house and the vehicles where I may need a match at some day. Pretty much every grocery and hardware store has that shit around here.

    Diamond are made in China, just like virtually every fucking things else these days. It cannot be escaped.

    Back to the bored poser shit stirring banter... You know who the fuck you are.

    Im good with matches.

    Only reason I spent the $4 was to save $6 on the fuel while basically getting the matches for free.

    Usually when I NEED a match I grab one of those varnished "Life Boat" matches. Those guys are fantastic.

    I really appreciate your offer but no need to unnecessarily risk my postmans sack bursting into flame.

    Only reason for the post was to express my weepiness that the Ohio Blue Tips of my youth are no more and that a product hailing from "Ohio" is made in Chile.

    Im guessing the popularity of pyroflatulence, or "Zorching" locally, waned with the demise of the SA match. Certainly would require it become a tandem sport rather than a soloist form of entertainment.
     
    I don't think I have seen strike anywhere matches in 10+_years

    I bet it was all the asshole kids cutting all the heads off and stuffing tennis balls full of them and throwing them maybe.....

    Hey, careful who you're calling an asshole!

    Yeah, I haven't seen a true "strike anywhere" match since I was one of those "asshole kids" ~30 years ago.

    Loll, Exactly I was right there with you. Those green tip ones are not true strike anywhere, I'm talking about the old true ones from our childhood!
     
    I was reading a post in another thread about shaved/bald pussy.
    I bet (just a guess) if you are really nice to him he'll shave it for you.
    We all know he's a pleaser

    Ive read that shaving your pussy is dangerous. The hair acts as a passive filter for bacteria and other pathogens, but thats not vetted.
