They should sell...
 

Rubber gloves singly.

I just busted a left-hand one and my first thought was "great, I have loads of left-hand gloves lying around to replace it!" (Because I usually bust the right one and I can't bring myself to throw perfectly good gloves away). ((And no, I can't turn them inside out, I have to use the super-sensitive-skin flock-lined latex free ones and they are not reversible.))

Did you know that if you turn them insi ... oh, you do. Bugger.

Okay, schmarty, turn your HAND inside out to make it fit the glove.


Multi-shot condoms?

Wear 'em backwards, it only feels weird for a minute...:)

Tried that, doesn't work with these. I still think selling them singly is the answer.

They should sell bic lighters that let you know they're about to run out of fuel.

Capn, buy the white ones. If you hold them up to the light you can see the fluid level.

Shop assistants think I am weird. Little do they know.

I refuse to have any color but blue. Superstitious? Yes.

Shake them then, you can feel the weight sloshing around.

Jab it with a knife...if nothing comes out it is empty.

You should get one of those 10 inch Bics.


I have a thing with Bic lighters where as soon as they come out of the outer packaging I have to peel the label off. If you wait too long it gets gooey and leaves a sticky residue. I can always pick my lighter out when partying with friends, I just look for the one without the label.

But seriously? I always have a few lying around and I know they quit working when...they, um, don't work anymore. Grab another one! But I'm clever like that.

Everybody I know peels their labels, so that won't work for me. I have a beautiful Zippo, but never remember to pick up fluid for it.

As far as gloves ... I don't really use the kitchen style, just keep a huge box of the non-latex type in the linen closet.

And I have a big load that end up coming home in my pockets from work, those I throw into a gift bag I keep under the bathroom cabinet.

1001 uses, those things.

Don't you get those transparent ones here?

Never seen a transparent BIC, but if you have a strong enough light you can see through most of the colors. Right now I have purple and dark green, and it works with both of them.

The really cheap lighters are transparent. I have a perfectly clear one at the moment. I don't know why Bic doesn't make theirs transparent, too.

In this day and age, why aren't refillable lighters more common?
