The box claims the matches are of "superior quality" (品質優良). I believe it. Tigers are very savvy consumers.

I don't know about you, but when I think "safety," I think apex predators and known carcinogens.

I only wished the Tigers had endorsed with their inherently natural catchphrase: "They're Grrrrrreat!" At least then, I'd know these matches were the real deal

Came across these screen printed matchboxes online and thought they were a cute reinterpretation of the vintage tiger matchboxes, instead depicting drunken cats making questionable decisions lol:
