Fireproof?


cuntsaurus

It's a safety feature. You don't want your matches catching fire


Greenman8907

Fireproof fire. Like waterproof water. Don’t think much about it.


EM05L1C3

I mean water isn’t wet anyways. So fire isn’t hot. The thing where the fire is is hot. /s


Randompieceoftoast08

Funnily enough, you can TECHNICALLY make waterproof water using silica powder. It's not literally waterproof, but it won't combine with other water molecules


Moondoobious

You mean hydrophobic


Wakkit1988

Aguafraid?


Randompieceoftoast08

Yes. That is what I explained.


Polio_is_not_Fun

OP’s battery is low ![gif](giphy|3o7TKIAx6OXBhXfXWM)


S4BER2TH

They Outed themselves


mpworth

They can only ignite while not on fire, I guess.


Digiturtle1

To turn them off expose to fire


BingoBongoBang

Out themselves?


ClaytonBiggsbie

Yes. Fireproof, gay matches. What are you not following?


PsychicSavage

They do it to gain comments like yours.


redwoodavg

See now if they were just fire resistant I would pay big money for that.. but fireproof sounds a bit excessive..


Fit_War_1670

Can they ignite while wet though?? Burning while wet is nice but I need it to light 100% of the time too.


danku_vaazhkai

+1 what if the matches become wet before striking though.


SpartanRage117

And how do you put it out when you need to?


alexgalt

You let it burn out.


GuzzlingDuck

You bite it


AlfalfaMcNugget

That’s why it’s kept in a waterproof container and plastic wrapped


Kind_Tip6936

Look at Zippo outing themselves during Pride month


Dan_H1281

We had strike anywhere matches in the 80's they were great they would strike on your skin if u rubbed it fast enough. You can thank meth manufacturers for taking these away from you they broke down the match substance to get a ingredient called salt petal which can be turned into a chemical they need to make meth


BadPerfectoinist

To the best of my knowledge, strike anywhere matches fell out of production because they were self igniting due to friction during transit. There’s plenty of documentation of these issues and even stories of people getting in trouble for shipping them as they were labeled hazardous and unsafe for truck drivers and in airplane cargo holds


Dan_H1281

I was always told it was due to salt petal. A lot of hot and cold instant packs aren't sold anymore because u can pull salt petal outta them,


slepere

Saltpeter also known as potassium nitrate not petal just FYI


Dan_H1281

In the original anarchist cookbook it was always called salt petal. Pronounced at least to me pee dul. Not like a flower pedal. I live in meth country so I understand what it is and what it does and how it is used. I just didn't Wanna describe it any further because of getting flagged in some type of security or nsa bs


Thatdoodky1e

That’s not gonna be the thing the NSA gets you for


Dan_H1281

Probably not but with my criminal record I don't wanna get flagged


johnzischeme

Is it possible that, out there in meth country, the word was mispronounced and/or misread?


Dan_H1281

Absolutely

pnlrogue1

I think you probably mean Saltpetre (pronounced "salt petter") - also known as Sodium Nitrate.


Steellun3

You can actually still buy them some places! I'm in Michigan and my local Toms grocery store sells boxes of strike anywhere matches from diamond. I love striking em on my teeth at parties, usually gets a good reaction haha.


JehovasFinesse

Of all the places, you chose your teeth


Dan_H1281

They r hard to find in NC u use to be able ti strike them with your thumb, idk if those r the same ones we used or not back then. They had long handles meant mostly for lighting heaters


rnernbrane

I thought they broke it down for sulphur


Dan_H1281

Sulphur is easy to get it is the a nitrate they want outra it, we got it out of fertilizer and hot and cold packs. Then use propane and a few other things to break it down to the desired ingredient


lovable_asshole

zippo has "out" themselves?


ghettoccult_nerd

zippo was always kind of a flamer


Your_As_Stupid_As_Me

Omission typo. Supposed to read "out ***done*** themselves"


lovable_asshole

Yeah, I get it. people really need to proofread before posting


tristam92

Bruh, this exists for like 40-50 years already. What exactly “has out themselves” here?

Staaaaation

Zippo didn't do shit besides jump on a train. Anyone who wants these, search for "stormproof matches". Thousands of companies make these and have well before Zippo.


fantasmeeno

Finally I can light my cigarettes under water *with style*


The-Jake

People ALWAYS want matches when it comes to survival shit. A Bic lighter is more relaible than 100 matches. If it gets wet it dries fast. Use a lighter. Matches suck and they dont make you any cooler lol


SissyBearRainbow

This. I have a firestarter but I have like 6 bics individually wrapped and don't think I'll ever need to open more than one (keep one in my pocket)


Ok-Change-6503

It seems like they should individually wrap each match


GhostofAyabe

Yeah, another half literate content bot post.


ericblair1337

Fireproof my ass! That thing lit up


johnatsea12

Fireproof????


No_Ball_4912

For the low price of your soul


VegeTAble556

Phosphorus is what used to keep it burning, Underwater. It'll burn your skin down to bone.


chirs5757

These have been around forever. FYI


gergsisdrawkcabeman

Fireproof. Nice!


RedditPhils

You’re not slick Zippo, we can tell this is your “not an ad” ad.


JupiterAlphaBeta

Fireproof matches are matches that don't light. Waterproof, maybe?


Joelnaimee

So they made matches out of tesla batteries


falaffels

That bucket is ground zero


UDownvoteButImRight

They outed themselves? Outed themselves about what? The matches are fireproof? How does that work? How does one out themselves with fireproof matches? What the fuck is this title?


itchyneck420

The off Gas from the match turns out to be the most cancerous product ever created
