Will lighters blend? Yes, they will. And the explosive results, filmed in slo-mo, have finally warmed me up to this otherwise inscrutable internet meme. Good thing we didn't try this at the Giz Gallery! [Kotaro269]
We always knew that the whole Apple thing was a cult. The signs were always there: Steve Jobs, dressed in a strict uniform of unpretentious clothes, revealing our next idol to worship on a seasonal basis. Now the Sonic Lighter iPhone app brings the sacredness of group flame to iPhone users everywhere. Not only can you create fire of your own, but Sonic Lighter allows you to simultaneously light iPhones around you. It's a $US1 app, but boy will it piss off everyone around you who worships a BlackBerry. [smule]
Behold, the 2-in-1 nail clipper and butane lighter. Because as we all know, the only way to properly dispose of your body's nail waste is miniature, ritualistic burning. US$2.68 with free shipping—or US$1.34 per function. [dealextreme] Thanks Martin!
The Japanese have all the fun. Just checkout these limited edition Zippo lighters. Embellished with a super hot Transformers design, only 300 will be made, all of which will be allocated to the Land of the Rising Sun. Each Zippo carries its own unique identifier number, and they will be available in either black or silver, which are both equally as sexy. Retailing at around 12,000 yen, there really has never been such a good reason to take up smoking. [desinformado via Akihabara]
As any six-year-old can tell you, there ain't nothing funnier than toilet humour. This toilet lighter is sure to impress your nephew, if not any women your own age, with its hilarious combo of a lighter and a tiny toilet. It might be an awkward shape that won't fit well in your pocket, but it's shaped like a toilet! How can you go wrong? [Product Page via Nerd Approved]
Like some kind of tiny parabolic burning mirror that would make Archimedes proud, this solar lighter captures the sun's rays and focuses them to a central spot that can reach 1000 degrees Fahrenheit. Result: an economic, fossil-fuel-free way to light your smelly cigarettes. If that's not ironic enough, today is World Cancer Day! Let's just call it a "survival tool" instead, and say it's just an environmentally graceful way to, uh, start forest fires. [Shiny Shiny]
Fact: smoking will kill you. More important fact: smoking is cool. And since we've given up on ending your enviable addiction, you might as well take it to the next level with this 1947 Wrist Lighter. Not actually containing a time mechanism, users could use other situations to denote chronological importance, like "it sure is a good time now that they've outlawed prohibition" and "this time I'll try not to light my hair on fire." You know, stuff like that is all you really need. [modernmechanix via gadgetlab]
Having trouble getting that nicotine monkey off your back? Until you do, might as well make that addiction useful by carrying around Mem|lite, a USB flash drive that doubles as a lighter, putting together two objects that have very little to do with each other. Well, not unless you want to store all the reasons why you are quitting on that 512MB (or up to 4GB) of flash memory storage. We like the way the product's website explains it best:
