Anyone happen to know where to find Strike Anywhere Matches?

You should be able to find them at your local grocery store or walmart.

A quick froogle search turned up a bunch of "matches"

Nice, I havent bought any in years, but I didnt think they had stopped making them.

i guess the ohio blue tip they quit making those, but i think diamond took that over. I even went to the cigarette/cigar shop here, and the ladies there had no idea what i was talking about

Diamond match still makes & sells real "Blue strike anywhere" wood matches. The only retailer I've found them at as of late is Ace Hardware stores. The standard matches, found in most food stores, are "strike on box". These are more kid-safe. Jim

looked at my local grocery again. they do sell them here...i was wrong before though...it is actually 3 boxes for 75 cents. but they are definitley the strike anywhere variety, made by Diamond.

your retailers may vary i guess, as jc posted. i live in texas, so we like to be able to strike our matches on the stock of the shotgun resting in the gunrack as we drive to the drive-through liquor store.
