I jack them and peel off your nifty design.. Then I have a white lighter and for what ever reason no one wants that shit. Always had good luck.

No one wants a white lighter because when Bic introduced the disposable lighter in 1973, they only had two colors..white and black. Also, they were unibody lighters, made entirely from the one piece of plastic...The result being, the black lighter had no white oval on the bottom like they do these days, but instead the black lighter was black ALL over, so you could use the bottom of the lighter to cash/put out bowls without leaving any outstanding marks on the bottom...Whereas, the white lighter would "exopse" you as a pothead if you use it to cash/put out bowls, because it would leave black/grey burn stains.

If anyone tries to tell you that the most notable members of Club 27 died with white lighters in their pockets, you can tell them that's BS, because Bic didn't introduce the disposable Bic lighter till 1973, AFTER Jim, Jimi, and Janis were already dead.

i have a ton of these with hydro/smoke shop advertising that are full of liquid and don't work..maybe that's intentional? so you don't throw the lighter away? :

All the Bics work really well but the knockoffs are often terrible.

It's because Bic is one of the few companies that uses a METAL lever to lift the valve that releases gas, and most cheap disposable lighters use a flimsy plastic lever that wears out after a few hundred lights....Bic's claim to fame was always "3000 lights strong", meaning they designed it with the intention of being able to get at least 3000 lights out of it...Try that with a cheapo knockoff...

We never used the white bics Cuz it was local stigma that white bics brought bad luck and the police. Also no Bic that had a wrapper Cuz that shit was really just a white Bic undercover. Course you go the next county up and it's yellow bics ain't no good. I usually just buy a sixer now.
