Interesting.  All the Red Bird matches I've seen (and I bought some) 
were made in China.  I typically go through about four or five before 
I get one to light.  Eddy matches are much better, but almost 
impossible to find*.  I got a bunch off someone on a trip a couple of 
years ago and he said you could get them "everywhere".  I still 
haven't been to "everywhere", but if I ever do, I'm buying several 
boxes.  Eddys are the type you can strike with the tip of your 
fingernail, your teeth, etc.

* "strike anywhere", that is.  Eddy paper matches are readily 
available, as are their strike-on-the-box.
