If you find that you need to have access to flame at all times but don’t want to carry around a [normal lighter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillos-pickles-x-zippo), you should opt for the Juicy Fruit lighter.

This fun design disguises your lighter as a [pack of chewing gum](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plastic-free-gum). But this isn’t just any average gum, its one of the most classically sweet-flavored brands that is a favorite among many chewers. The [bright yellow packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/power-bank-1) features the Juicy Fruit logo down the side and has a silver-colored grooved top that has the appearance of foil-wrapped sticks of gum.

The flame of this Juicy Fruit lighter is easily ignited by simply pulling the top back with the flick of your thumb.
