It was day 4 "sitting at home " on this basis, strange interests in ordinary things became more acute. I decided to find out the specific parameters of matches. In short, today is a "serious" review of ordinary matches ...
Box print quality
The first thing I looked at was the appearance. Print quality is poor, letters are smeared. The box contains only information about the manufacturers. Not like it used to be in Soviet times. Each box could be different from the other. As if these are not matches, but some kind of stamps. And in modern Russia in the 90s and 2000s, advertising was printed on them.
Box length
A well-known parameter for many people after 40 is the length of the box. It is equal to five centimeters. Sometimes this measure was applied in certain situations. When there was no tape measure at hand. But the width of the box is 37 mm, almost no one knows about this, and there is nothing to it.
How long do they burn
The burning time of these matches in a horizontal position is on average 20 seconds, and if it is intercepted and allowed to burn out completely, then up to 30 seconds.
Tricks with matches, which the current generation does not know about.
Toothpick, if you sharpen a match with a knife, then we will get a toothpick, an item necessary when eating meat products, such as kebabs, etc.
Ear cleaning, if you wind cotton wool around a match, you can get an object that will allow you to clean the ear canals, but I do not recommend doing this, there is a high risk of hearing damage.
Odor eliminator, if after going to the toilet on a large scale, you managed to greatly spoil the surrounding air, and you did not have a freshener at hand, then a lit match will instantly get rid of the smell. The sulfur contained in the smoke will kill the unpleasant odor.
I have a whole article about this life hack on my channel- cry.
How many matches are in the box?
I counted, most likely the manufacturer of these matches puts it in the box 40 sticks with sulfur head. By the way, I am outraged, in every second box at least one match is missing. This means that in this way, when producing a huge number of matches, they do not save so much. Or maybe the workers are stealing from the assembly line ...
