Iconic ‘Zippo’ Lighters Officially Launched in Nepal

What do you think means to be an iconic product? To be a legend? It means to transcend time and be so synonymous to the service the product provides that people think the service and the product are synonymous. Say, Google for example. You don’t search nowadays, you Google it. A mispronounced version of Googol, the word Google has become synonymous with search in the minds of people. There are other products like this, like Tupperware, or bubble-wrap, or Band-aid.

Zippo is one of those products. First made in 1932, Zippo Lighters are as iconic as a product could be. If you have watched Hollywood movies, you have seen these lighters in action. You probably already have an image in your mind. The rectangular chrome frame with a hinged top. A person flicks open the top and the ‘clink’ makes you instantly realize that you have seen the same lighter in so many different places.

These lighters have been featured in every World War II movies you can imagine. Movies on Mafia or drug lords that are incomplete without a cigar or cigarette scene are incomplete without this lighter. These lighters are the legit definition of cool. Zippo Lighters range from Rs. 2000 to Rs. 368111 in the international market.

Now, Zippo has arrived in Nepal.
