The lighter he was using was a cheap Australian product that had to be operated with both hands to ignite. George Grant Brestier, who was witnessing this scene, asked him: "Don't you want to use a better lighter?" "The man simply replied: "It works!".

"It works!" in vernacular means "as long as it works." Although it was just an ordinary sentence, it made Brestil start to think: Could it be that a lighter can't be windproof and durable at the same time? , beautiful design...is it comprehensive? It was also because of this idea that Bratisl decided to embark on the road of making lighters. The following year, in 1933, Brettisle launched Zippo's first lighter. To this day, more than 500 million Zippo lighters have been sold. Not only are they supported by consumers in as many as 160 countries around the world, but they were even featured in the classic movie "The Spy Who Wasn't There" The late actor Humphrey Bogart also used Zippo lighters in the film. Zippo lighters can also be seen in other TV programs, performance stages, and music videos. Zippo has become a Synonymous with lighter.
