Kitten's Zippo Obsession

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

A funny thing happened yesterday while I was at work. The resturant was pretty dead at the moment, so I went into the break room to have a cigarette. The hostess, who is also one of my friends, came back there with me, as did the new manager in training. It turned out that neither of them had a lighter. The manager in training asked if I had one. I kinda laughed and said, "No but I have a Zippo." She asked me what a Zippo was, and I took it out of my purse.

She laughed and said, "Oh! One of the old fashioned ones! My grandpa had one of these."

My friend said, "I could never spend that much money on a lighter."

I said, "In the long run it's actually cheaper. Bics and other cheaper lighters run out to fast, or just simply stop working."

My friend said, "I still couldn't do it."

Seriously though, in the long run a Zippo (to me) is cheaper then buying regular lighters. Yes, initially you have to spend a bit more money on the Zippo itself, and then you have to buy flints and lighter fluid, but I can tell you from my own personal experience that I went through Bics a lot quicker then I ever have had to refill a Zippo. Plus I just enjoy how a Zippo makes a cigarette taste. It tastes better to me, it is like it brings out the flavor in the cigarette more. But, to each their own, right? Right.
