Agreed, it is the use you put things to that defines them, but melting rock IS the marketing strategy for the jet lighters you see in every gas station and convienience store. Guess i shouldn't complain, i get a table lighter for $2 on the backs of mass meth addiction, but it feels wrong

Regardless of why it may have been made, if it works for your needs, that's cool. I may have to check them out if I'm near a gas station.

Where do you live where it's questionable whether or not you will ever be near a gas station, but you still have internet access?

We don't own a car, so I rarely go to a gas station. I won't be making a special trip for this lighter.

My mind has just been blown.

Rarely if ever. It's usually by a bike--powered by me.

Just curious....for health reasons...philosophical reasons...$$$ reasons....why no car? Honestly, I'd love to live where public transportation was good enough that I didn't need to drive, or have the physical ability to ride a bike the 20 miles one way to work every day. Sadly, I'm blessed with neither.
