    Cigarette lighter? You mean the finger print eraser and “lesson enforcer”? It was always empty when I grew up, seems like every child needed to learn that it was still hot even after the glow had vanished :)

    The bic type lighter where everywhere, including in the coin shelf in cars

      I still have a bic lighter, and I quit smoke 10 years ago. Never know when it’ll come in handy.

      I also remember when there were cigarette vending machines in restaurants. $1.25/pack and no age verification. 😉

        We got one from a gas station for lighting birthday candles. I just got a firepit and went to use it to start a fire and realized I’ve never used one before and had to try a lot of times to actually get it to light.
