Every time you pick up a handful of dust, and see not the dust, but a mystery, a marvel, there in your hand. Every time you stop and think, "I'm alive, and being alive is fantastic!" Every time such a thing happens, you're part of the Circus of Dr. Lao.

u/FuriousBuffalo 10h ago

Those matches, they’re the wrong kind. Red phosphorus is found in the striker strips, not the matches themselves. You need to get the big 200-count case of individual matchbooks. More striker strips, you understand?

u/HaydenJA3 13h ago

Idk why this is downvoted when it’s right, there is no consistency with the red bits in the other matches, and the sticks are all cracking and splintering

106

u/MeddyD3 13h ago

These are the matches usually found in dollar stores. Here in Canada, these exact same ones are the ones found at Dollarama, and they come in a pack of 4 or 8, and they also have really long matches (like 10 inches long or so).

Most of the time they ignite but not burn, and sometimes they ignite and break off because the sticks are lighter than aerogel

They're all shit lmao

23

u/PyneNeedle 12h ago

If you're unlucky some of the whatever it is, will stick on the strike strip and nearly set off the rest.

They also make really shitty crack lighters, so I'm wondering how their factory hasn't gone up in flames.

66

u/Accomplished_Boat874 13h ago

The compound used to produce meth, in the method I believe you're referring to, uses the red phosphorus from the striker strips. The potassium colorate is really only used to ignite match heads or to demonstrate reactivity for some school demos

54

u/m_dought_2 12h ago

That's why you have to buy the big box with the individual matchbooks. More striker strips. And don't buy everything from one place.
