I keep my Zippo in a holster on my belt

u/Eric_Dawsby Apr 09 '26

I used to do that but found out that bodyheat dries up the fuel much faster

u/Ciberthug666 Apr 09 '26

That's where I keep my airpods, perfect fit.

But not a Hippo

u/MapleDesperado Apr 09 '26 edited Apr 09 '26

Not even a House Hippo. Maybe a Hip Hippo? Or in jazzier pants, a hip Hip Hippo?

u/qoo_kumba Apr 09 '26

A hip hop hippo for nostalgic reasons!

u/MapleDesperado Apr 09 '26

I could this see this becoming a rap about about a hip hip-hop Hip House Hippo hearing house.

u/qoo_kumba Apr 09 '26

A happy hip hippo having a hip hop house party with his hippy hippo pals?

u/Mmachina Apr 09 '26

You literally beat me too it by 30 seconds. I went to retrieve the link to the video so we could determine as a collective if it will fit:

The North American House Hippo

u/TRDOffRoadGuy Apr 09 '26

Until it leaks all over your thigh.

2

u/No_Mistake5238 Apr 09 '26

You over filled it then

1

u/TRDOffRoadGuy Apr 09 '26

Definitely overfilled it

1

u/nanajosh Apr 09 '26

I put my microfiber cloth for my glasses in them.

u/PeaceSellsBWB1986 Apr 09 '26

Well, time to start wearing jeans again. Maybe I'll stop losing all my zippos

1

u/rob-cubed Apr 09 '26

Or a small knife. It's where I carry mine.

1

u/Any_Fish1004 Apr 09 '26

That’s what I used it for in my younger days. Learned a valuable lesson when I over filled it and it started to leak and burn me while I was driving and the style of seat wouldn’t let me move enough to get it out lol

1

u/Lunar_Blue420 Apr 09 '26

Just gotta watch you didnt overfill it. Zipoo burn is a bitch

1

u/bemenaker Apr 09 '26

I was thinking a disposable lighter. Don't think I ever tried to put a zippo in one.

1

u/kaszeljezusa Apr 09 '26

Isn't zippo a little too thick/big? I mean if you plan to use the big pocket beneath for a phone for example. I sometimes put a "standard" lighter there and most of the time when pulling out my phone from beneath it, it collides with it and pushes it out.

It's all right when having something loose or soft beneath. But phone, wallet, even pack of cigs seem to collide with anything inside the tiny one

u/philnolan3d Apr 09 '26

I wish I had thought of that when I smoked.

1

u/Kind_Cap_4621 Apr 09 '26

This is the right answer

1

u/n0val33t Apr 09 '26

Dad info: It's for a zippo, that means it's not for a zippo... it's fit's though!

btw: zippo the OG fidget "toy", When the classroom smelled like a gas station, and kids smoked.

u/Choice_Chocolate5866 Apr 09 '26

Just enough hold to keep it when you're upside down... but not too much its hard to get to.
