Fun fact: The lighter was invented before the matchstick! In 1823, Johann Dobereiner came up with the first lighter, it was known as "Dobereiner's lamp" and used a chemical reaction involving hydrogen and platinum to create a flame but it was bulky & expensive. Then in 1826, John Walker was like, "I can do better!" and invented the matchstick. It was cheaper, portable and way less likely to explode in your face! Sometimes simpler is just better...
