Light a Match
Hold the match in your dominant hand right with your thumb and middle finger. Put your index finger behind the match head. Hold the matchbook in your non-dominant hand. Press down with your index finger and drag the match across the striker strip in a single quick motion roughly like how you’d light a wooden match.
But you can only light it if you have sufficient heat to burn the chemicals included in the match head. Therefore, other surfaces you can rub a match head on include sandpaper, an unglazed ring, a window, a zipper, or even the mug’s underside. All in all, the safest and best way to light a match is to use the box.
