An Ice Cream Spoon with an Integrated Flame for Melting Hard Ice Cream

Posted on by

The Sizzling Scooper is the brainchild of Matty Benedetto of Unnecessary Inventions. It’s an ice cream spoon with an integrated lighter beneath for melting hard ice cream before scooping. Is it practical? Probably not. Is it necessary? Almost certainly not. Come on, Matty; you should have at least used a torch lighter for maximum melting capabilities.

I wish Matty would have provided some sort of warning before I decided to try making my own Sizzling Scooper with a metal spoon and burnt my lips after heating the ice cream too long. Can you even imagine how embarrassing it was to explain what happened to my doctor? Dammit, Matty, this is all your fault!

Alternatively, dip a metal spoon in a glass of hot water before scooping hard ice cream. That’s what I used to do before Matty put this idiotic idea in my head. Can I sue? The emotional distress this has caused has got to be worth something. At least a free Sizzling Scooper.

A Heart Shaped Lighter: For Reigniting The Spark In Your Relationship

Posted on by

Because nothing says true love like setting things on fire together as a couple, this heart-shaped lighter from Draworld and available on Amazon (affiliate link) combines both a traditional butane lighter and electric coil lighter. Obviously, I’ll be using this lighter to ignite all the romantic candles around the bedroom this coming Valentine’s Day. Or, more than likely, the weekend after because I always forget Valentine’s Day and have to try making it up.

Available in red and rainbow finishes, the lighter, much like a Transformer, has two forms: its heart-shape with the left and right atriums (those are heart parts!) containing the two different lighters, or twisted into a traditional lighter shape, with the lighters at opposite ends. The possibilities are practically limitless! Just kidding, it’s one or the other.

The electric coil lighter features a USB rechargeable battery, so you have no excuse to ever be without fire-starting capabilities. I’m going to add this to my list of everyday carry items, which, including the magnifying glass, two sticks, strike-anywhere matches, and a blowtorch, effectively increases my means of starting fires up to six. Let’s go camping!

This lighter’s unique shape is actually inspired by the flame it creates!

Posted on by

It’s quite easy to figure out where the ‘Tiny Flame’ lighter takes its visual inspiration from! Designed to resemble the very thing it creates, the Tiny Flame lighter’s teardrop shape and metallic gold finish is instantly memorable and eye-catching! I’m refraining from making a Flame-ception joke, so bear with me here.

The Tiny Flame lighter isn’t the kind you’d carry in your pocket. Instead, it’s a product fit for sitting on your desk or mantelpiece. Its bottom-heavy shape makes it stable enough to constantly stand upright, and its matte-versus-polished finish has a beautiful way of catching reflections and making it shine. When you want to use it, the lighter’s curved surface fits naturally into the palm of your hand. A parting line separates the matte-finish bottom half and the polished upper half, and a simple push with your thumb causes the upper cap to tip backward, triggering the flame. Similarly, pushing the cap back in place extinguishes the flame too. Tip the lighter over and it reveals its adjusting ring that lets you control the flame intensity, as well as a refill point for refueling the lighter when the fluid within it runs out.

The lighter, although conceptual from the looks of it, comes in three colors – gold, silver, and a matte-black rose-gold combo. I personally love the idea of the upper part of the lighter sporting a polished finish while the lower part comes with a sandblasted matte finish. Apart from acting as a visual separator between the upper and lower halves, it also visually represents the flame, which can sometimes have a different colored tip and base. Apart from that, it has a simple yet commanding appearance that manages to look eye-catching while still remaining beautifully minimal. That’s pretty lit, if you ask me!

A Lighter that Rekindles our Passion for Owning Beautiful Products

knnox_lighter_layout

Going against the tide of disposable culture, the KNNOX lighter is designed to last forever, and with an aesthetic and style so beautifully unique, you’ll genuinely want to keep it forever!

Breaking the very archetype of the lighter, the KNNOX lighter doesn’t really look like one. It doesn’t come with your flip-top, or like the use-and-throw Bic lighters with the transparent compartment where you see the lighter fluid. When closed, it looks like a clean, chiseled brass cuboid, with the aesthetic appeal similar to that of a very premium cigar cutter.

Taking the shape of a matchbox when closed, the lighter opens by sliding the L-shaped flint chamber to reveal the wick inside. Flick the rotating flint wheel on the corner and a specially crafted, highly ferrous alloy flint provides a generous spark that guarantees the wick will light up in the very first attempt. To extinguish the fire, slide the flint chamber to a close and the fire extinguishes as the KNNOX lighter closes back into its unibody design with a satisfying click.

The unusual design of the KNNOX lighter has a vintage, art deco appeal. Its strange schematic may seem confusing at first, but its design allows you to direct the flame sideways and frontwards, and not just upwards. It’s this unusual mannerism that makes using the KNNOX lighter feel like literally being a class apart, as people around you observe you with part curiosity and part envy.

Available in slick packaging, each lighter is paired with high-quality wicks, flints and even a stainless steel hex tool. Precision made from brass, the KNNOX lighter is designed to last a lifetime and grow more and more precious and beautiful with passing time as the brass surface ages gracefully with its unique patina.

An armor that lets your lighter’s fire keep burning everywhere

Posted on by

Just like every blade needs a sheath to protect it from the elements, the PyroVault is, as its name suggests, an exoskeleton for your lighter. Designed to let you take your lighter to places you’d carry your EDC, the PyroVault allows your lighter to be weatherproof and even waterproof, making it perfect for inclement weather, or camping outdoors. An incredibly resilient polymer outer body can withstand heat, water, snow, dust, and comes with an O-Ring that seals the lighter when closed, turning it waterproof. The O-Ring seal also prevents vapor leakage, letting your lighter last longer.

Designed and manufactured in USA, the Pyrovault accepts standard Zippo-style lighter inserts including both fluid and butane torch models, turning classy lighters into rugged firestarters that can withstand any sort of conditions you may expect outdoors… and it even comes with a MOLLE/PALS compatible clip that you can use to fasten the Pyrovault to your pocket, jacket, or even backpack.

I don’t smoke, nor do I advocate filling your lungs with tar and nicotine. But if you must reach for a cigarette, let it be this one. This whimsical lighter is designed to look just like a cigarette, but you can use it to do healthier things like lighting candles, or starting a campfire.

It’s refillable with butane, and designed to fit into most cigarette packs too. I suppose you could fill your entire carton with these, and you won’t have to worry about contracting lung cancer anymore. Just don’t try and take a puff on one unless you want to burn your lips off.

Alien Zippo Lighter Collection: Kill It with Fire

Posted on by

There are lots of things that can kill you, but two of them that are almost sure to do you in are cigarettes and xenomorphs. Naturally, cigarettes result in a slow, painful sort of demise, whereas the xenomorph will either rip you apart in seconds or melt you with its acid blood. I think I’d prefer the xenomorph death.

Fans of smoking and xenomorphs will definitely want to run out and buy this cool Alien-themed Zippo lighter collection.

This awesome looking 11-1/2″ tall desktop statue has an illuminated xenomorph standing proudly on top, looking over a collection of Zippos with Alien artwork on them. While the lighters aren’t as powerful as flamethrowers, you might be able to tape a bunch of them together to scare off monsters that invade your spaceship.

In order to get this awesome display, you’ll need to subscribe to The Bradford Exchange’s limited edition run of 8,000 units. For each payment of $39.99(USD), you’ll get another Alien lighter, and the third issue in the series will include the display – valued at $100. A total of eight different lighters will round out the collection over time, so you’re looking at a total $240 investment for the whole thing. If you’re an Alien fanatic, you’re going to need this.
