What is the world coming to? Big corporations not caring about their products.

I have 3 years with my pipes now, and I like to use matches, today I was presented with this match that got through the quality control process. I mean really……no dipped tip and it has a split in it that could have seriously injured me.

I tell you guys….Swedish Match Industries AB will be getting a strongly worded letter from me, and I will be threatening them with the loss of my business should this happen again.

its a bunch of BS. Mold on tobacco from Cornell and Dull. Mouse droppings in my donut bag, and taxes upon taxes upon taxes. It's just a match. But CTFO

Could be since he, Darwin, was 5 years old when the first self-igniting match was invented in 1805 by Jean Chancel and we all know that little boys played with matches.... even back then puffy

I think that he is being sarcastically satirical for humor. The whole thread was meant to be for fun.

You are obviously not attuned to the sensitivities of the New World, Mr. Folklore.

Fun no longer exists.

What's funny to one person always hurts another's fee fees somehow.

Always.

Then they broadcast their angst, outrage, and fee fee hurting-ness to everyone possible.

Sometimes millions of people.

Endlessly.

Obviously, the only correct thing for a society to do is eliminate humor altogether.
