I have purchased several different brands of matches over the last year for Amazon and half of the matches I order don't actually strike.

Unfortunately like these from Thankful Greetings, and HomArt, they sadly don't perform as well as I had hoped by the packaging. You can still give them a try, but this is a solid NO for me. Until they get a better match goin'... as the Sharks say "I'm Out"
