Tab-Dock: Zippo meets Pez

Jeshii points out Tab-Dock, the Japan-only "mint dispenser that replaces the lighter assembly in a Zippo. Seems silly and not something that is going to win you friends, but might be a funny way to be a total dick to your smoking friends."

Excuse to carry around zippo shell to play around with? I've honestly heard "I smoke so I can carry around a lighter" from a real person before.

Although it looks like the mint dispensing mechanism is bound to the lid flipping and not to a strike wheel, so if you try to do zippo tricks you're going to have a flying mint barrage.

It's cooler than a tictac box.

I wonder if it rattles.

The disco biscuit comment prompted me to look at prices.

$70.

That's seventy.

Or £50 to me.

Without shipping or anything...

Fuck.

Zippos are incredibly popular here in Japan as collectors items even amongst non smokers. There was even a series of Zippos for Metal Gear Solid & Policenauts and probably man other video games as well.
