When watching that video, was I the only one thinking that matches used to work a lot better back before the nanny staters screwed them up like they have everything else?

Sadly, Ohio Blue Tip matches are no more. Gone, just a memory in the minds of old dodderers.

Yes, Diamond brand “Strike Anywhere” matches are still sold, though they barely light even when struck on the box. So yeah, useless, or near enough.

Decent matched may have taken a beating because of the red phosphorus. It is used to make meth.
