No, I have not. Furthermore, I obviously use my computer for the wrong reasons. :lol:
Computer? I use my Chinese phone for 99% of my interwebbing

Maybe I took a Rip van Winkle length nap but I though Zippo, like Harley-Davidson, part of their appeal is that they are made in America. Zippo in Pennsylvania, if I recall correctly.

You are right on that one! WW2 made them a big company!

The traditional lighters still are. The butane inserts and accessories are not and never have been. Just like the Thunderbird and Z inserts

Probably an unlicensed knock-off.
You can get Oakley sunglasses on Wish for $4.
That about 2% of the cost of real Oakleys. :)

I have always wondered. Living in New Orleans and getting around a Vespa, I never saw a reason to try them. I have to keep my hands on the handlebars. Those Zippo handwarmers always look like the perfect pocket treat.

I used them hunting when I lived up North, thankfully I don’t need them here!
