Zippo
Clicks when opened
Zippo is a brand of refillable metal cigarette lighters, known for their distinctive flip-top design and windproof flame.
First made in 1932, they became iconic through military use and cultural associations with American cool: He flicked open his Zippo.
The name often stands for any similar lighter. (Lowercase zippo means nothing.)
