it's for all the dead heads out there - you know, at the concert, lights go out, lighters go up, then....

what's the problem? it's not as if they gave you cigarettes to go with the lighter.

hehe, that's for the ever popular after-race cig!



(I don't race - I'm the one behind the scenes setting up bike races/marathons, or am a race official - and I usually get a goody bag as well and I've never seen a lighter - did get the teensiest little 3/4 cup bag of brown rice - which is a healthy give away - but it was so darn small - it became - CUTE)

Ah. Those were the reject lighters. There are no child safety yee haws on there.

LOL......file that under W for WTF?

I would be fired up to get a prize like that.

TO the OP, so bascially you are telling us you spent the weekend running around with a bunch of flamers?

Maybe Bernie Jarule was an avid smoker? JK...:p

Or maybe it's for "the other kind of cigarette".;):p

here's a little history on the run for any CT runners who might be interested. the run goes no matter the weather. i ran it one year in a blizzard with 2' deep drifts. fun.

I don't smoke any more, but I still keep lighters around. I bring them camping so I don't have to waste windproof matches lighting my stove, I use them for lighting candles when the power goes out, and lighting incense to cover the smell of wet dog after me and the puppy go jogging in the rain.
Useful, but yes... an odd freebie at a race.

Ah. Those were the reject lighters. There are no child safety yee haws on there.Are you kidding? If it doesn't have a "child safety" device on it, it's to be cherished. Those are the good ones!

It could have the metal band above the thumbwheel that needs to be pressed hard while flicking the wheel.
