If I remember correctly, some of them would give out books of matches for free if you pressed a button. They were an important resource for GenX children up to no good.
What do you call a car cigarette lighter?

I can hear the hiss of too-curious fingertip. 🤢
I can smell it XD
I was younger than ten when I realized that, if you can flick a bottle cap, you can flick a spinning ring of fiery fuckery... ^(by taking one match, bending it around to the strike strip and folding the lid open to pinch it between finger [some prefer middle, others ring] and thumb, then hold it above your shoulder next to your ear and flick with your elbow as reticle)
Don't do this in a restaurant. Please.
Also, if you can't yet do a bottle cap... Start there. FFS.
I'm intrigued by your comment, but I'm not following. What am I doing with the bottle cap?
Hold your hand like you were going to snap your fingers. Now, place a bottle cap on its side, facing your pinkie, with its bottom edge pinched between your finger and thumb. Sight down your forearm, and fire! Practice makes, well, mayhem?
