How is this a hack at all? “Check out my next hack. Take a 6 pack still in the holder and pre open all the cans. Next time your thirsty, stand in a bathtub and hold the whole 6 pack upside down a foot over your face while you tilt your head back and open your mouth. Now you won’t have to deal with opening a can and lining it up with your lips each time you want to drink!” Maybe I’m being tough. By taping your matches together you’re less likely to lose them than if you Leave them laying around individually. If only there was some kind of “book” matches came in already... no. Ok. Well- a portable one handed source of fire... oh. Matches are already one handed. Well... this doesn’t involve striking! It’s like pushing a button! Like... a lighter. Which also won’t go off in your pocket if you bump it into things. And is reusable. And doesn’t require you to sit there taping matches together... and come in many sizes and types... and... wait. No. Maybe I’m not being too harsh.
It’s certainly neat in that “bored Sunday at home” way, that I wouldn’t debate. Even if I personally didn’t find it neat I can’t argue what others find neat. I also find ferro fluid neat, but I wouldn’t point at ferro fluid dancing around and call it a life hack.
Actually now that I think about it, it probably won’t work even then. Strike-anywheres are designed to NOT go off inside the box when all the heads are packed together just like the gif shows. In addition to friction, you need to mix the two chemicals in the head so you need to strike at an angle.
