Zippo has always accepted larger custom corporate orders, but recently they’ve introduced a new flash-based online tool that lets you customise an individual lighter, for those who don’t need hundreds with a photo of their cat on it.
Back when everyone was smoking cigarettes wherever the hell they wanted, concertgoers apparently did this thing where they’d wave their lighters around during certain songs? Or something like that? That was before my time so I don’t really know – I had to turn to the anthropologists at Wikipedia to get the historical scoop:

Brad Cooper’s Zippo stopped a bullet that could have killed him. Brad Cooper is a very lucky guy. Also, Brad Cooper is crazy.
