Who remembers striking these things on the zipper of your Levis? Kroger here in Middle TN still sells these.
I used up a lot of strike anywhere matches doing exactly that. Though I did it outside.Also used to shoot those out of my pellet rifle against the concrete basement wall, popped like a very small firecracker.
I put these in my Dad's Winstons one time. Let's just say he was not happy.Maybe have taken some match heads off a book of matches, borrowed a buddies cigarette without him noticing, roll half the tobacco out, stuff match heads in it then repack the tobacco. About halfway through that smoke his face lights up as bright as the flare of matches! Alcohol might have been involved lol!

No kiddingToday's kitchen match is nothing like it used to be.
I chewed them a lot. Tasted like a match stick, it was distinct. My kids were all born bald and naked, I’m perfectly healthy as well. We used to cut the heads off the Match then cut the head off a pin needle and insert that into the center of the stick, then cut an X in the back of the stick and make paper flights like an arrow and insert in the X. They were nice flyers and we shot those out of pellet guns as well. Mean little darts.Set of the pants worked better than zipper on the old ones.
I got a box of the "new" strike anywhere and I think the anywhere means on the scratch panel.
No kidding
The originals were made in Diamond factory in Cloquet MN.
The globally sourced product suck big time.
Did anyone chew on matchstick? Did anyone realize how much fire retardant chemicals they were sucking out of the wood stick?
