Zippo brand lighters are the same, albeit with light fluid.

I got no idea what sorta genius came up with this marketing scheme.

As to chalk lines, I suspect the set of people who want to buy a chalk like and don’t already know that is very, very small. In fact, I bet a good number of the folks who post here (What, 3 out of the dozen of us?), don’t even know what a chalk line is.

sorry, my comment was about the box, not the spelling of chalk.
