>>1124163I dunno, I always figured it was more "cool" to use so people fall into using them, kind of like people who buy heavy tacticool backpacks for day-hikes when a kelty or osprey costs half as much and is better ergonomically designed.. But it's a lot cheaper for me to go to wal-mart and buy a pack of 10 bic lighters and put one in different places.
>lost my bag? oh there's one in my pocket>fell out of my pocket? oh there's one in this cargo pocket>a rapist took my pants? good thing there's one in my jacket pocketI mean if you're going to use one because it's more fun, then more power to you. But it's kind of dorky to claim that it's the superior option in all cases for everyone.
