I couldn’t help but chuckle a little bit when I stumbled upon these lighter designs. Incognito lighters have been popping up all over the place but I think this one takes the cake (the chocolate cake).

These funny little lighters are actually disguised as [bars of chocolate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unstealable-chocolate). The lighter hole is at the end of the chocolate and the ignition is a switch on the corner that looks like a bite has been taken out of it.

What better way to hide some not-so-favoured habits? Better yet, it won’t melt in your pocket!
