why are white lighters bad luck

yikes, I'm left-handed too!

yeah, i always heard it was that bob marley died with a white lighter.
it's all bs, I love my white lighters.

 

the bic as we know it was introduced in 1973 so i dont think morrison had one in 71..proving the myth is bullshit..pure garbage that someone made up

remember this,, old times will remember it..

 

Ive heard people say that yellow or some other color was bad luck...at least something bad would happened every time they used one. I like my brown one

 

this kind is bad luck no matter the color. These break easy, get hot and melt, catch fire,, low flame high flame.. These lighters should be outlawed they are dangerous to adults.....

 

^ I totally agree.

It's annoying when people have those. Just pay ten cents more for a bic!

 

I haven't paid for a lighter in years. I always just steal a 5-pack of Bics. lol Always try to get the packs that have at least one orange and one black. Bics are best when they cost $free.99

 

had a few of these melt while rocking out back in the day...we would still use them by lighting them with another lighter that was already burnt out but still sparking..it is tricky but when you are too high to go tho the store you will use anything lol...

 

they're dangerous but fun! give a close friend a big surprise!

 

^^ those lighters suck, especially when when they melt and the flint roller goes flying across the room, they got that spring behind 'em.

I like cricket lighters better than bic.

 

i first heard the white lighter myth in high school. Two girls died in seperate car crashes a couple of months apart, and it was rumored that both girls had a white lighter on them when they wrecked. I doubt thats true but hearing it in high school certainly ingrained a fear of white lighters in me. I still won't take a white lighter in my car with me.

 

I remember being able to take off the top plastic guard and keep turning up the amount of liquid that would come out when you lit it. You could scare the shit out of people and hurt them...since the flame grew to 6 or ever 10+ inches.

 

i never buy or accept white lighters. i know people that would wrap their white lighters in black electrical tape just so they could use them.

i always buy black or green.

 

I love you, but that's retarded. I go out of my way to buy white lighters just to fuck with people who get so crazy about them.

"White lighters are bad luck I'm not using that"

Then you don't smoke

 

those things are miniature molotov cocktails in disguise...

dunno about the white lighter thing, lotsa folks here still follow the "never accept a third light" superstition tho' :mickey:

 

People I know consider a red lighter bad luck. I always buy this color to keep people off of it. My friends have bad lighter thieving problems.

 

oooo and sometimes if i can find them, i buy the doo doo brown bics. theifs dont want a doo doo brown lighter

 

I get green or blue. or white sometimes

 

I bought a white Bic lighter as part of a 3 pack of lighters (white/black/blue) at the grocery store. Some f'er stole my black lighter almost immediately, but I still have the white and blue ones.

I ended up hitting two deer within a month's time driving home at night. I realized after my car was returned form the body shop that I had the white lighter in my glove box.

Coincidence?

 

White lighters are great, I love being able to see how much fluid is left without having to do much of anything. Also like mentioned before, people often times don't steal or use white lighters so I don't have to worry about mine getting jacked. Sometimes people won't even smoke weed with white lighters, which is great because then there is more for me and the rest of the group who don't give a fuck about silly superstitions.
