This is not a reference to the price of Heet, but a comment in general about storing for emergencies. A couple of years back I went through several "just in case" bags and boxes. Most of the matches were over twenty years old, and over half of them did not work. Many of the plastic bottles...

Today (10 Jam 19) at 1600 the UPS driver rang the doorbell and left a package that contained a brand new 4-pack of Heet. This is the kind of customer service that will keep steady customers. Thanks Gold Eagle!
