Samba matches - your experiences

After purchasing some Samba safety matches, a Twitter user sent us this video that shows the matches failing to catch alight after being struck. Searching online on Product Review, it appears that a quite a few people have had similarly poor experiences. As the matches are widely available in Bunnings and Woolworths, I’m wondering if anyone else can confirm a similar experience? If so please leave a comment below. It looks like a case of buyer beware.

It gives a new meaning to ‘safety matches’. This makes them very safe.

Can’t argue with that!

Perhaps Choice can do a test. Samba vs Redheads. I know what I buy, and have always bought. And it is not Samba.
