A winning submission from our Create-a-Commercial project. "Zippo: Heirloom" by Keegan is an amazing spot. Let him know how much you love it on his blog at recklessabandon.posterous.com or on Twitter @keeganuhl.
A lot of people here don't realise that the boy is greatfull because he ows his entire existence to the lighter that saved his grandpas life. Best wishes from Scotland!
@hitachii088 maybe with a brass zippo but back in ww2 all brass and copper went to making shell casings for ammo...so zippos where made out of steel back then...give the uniform plus the steel lighter casing and the steel lighter insert its possible
People saying a zippo wont stop a bullet your kind of right. It all depends on how far away you are from the person shooting. If you are at point blank then of course it will go through. However it can stop a ww2 bullet at 200meters.
@dsfghfdstfnyjmyfyfgb I am no ecological expert, but the jungle doesn't seem tropical rainforest like. So this might be european theatre in WW2. If thats the case, and keeping in mind the relatively low energy of the german 9mm parabellum, this situation is plausible with the other guy shooting a MP40 or Luger in Wehrmacht uniform.

My grandfather always said whether you smoke or not. Every man should own a Zippo.
....why?
@@John-sr2hrso as a proper gentleman you can light lady's cigarette when she doesn't have a light.

Zippo-A reason to love America.
Amen
I love that old story. saved by the Zippo
These aren’t tears, it’s lighter fluid.
Are you really crying over a 30 second lighter commercial.
@John-sr2hr Just because it's a 30-second commercial doesn't mean that it isn't touching.
ipods wont stop a bullet
this made me cry and I'm a manly man
this almost made me cry, no lies :(
Wonderful silent movie ad!
I’m sure a Zippo Took a bullet more than once and saved its owner!
Pretty sure most of the rounds back then would go straight through a zippo lol, unless it's a ricochet or something
They tried this on mythbusters, even a .22 went straight through the zippo. Still a good commercial though!
Saved by Zippo...👍👍👍

My feels.
...lucky soldier, that was NOT a fmj armor piercing bullet...
Who cares if its not completely believable...it's the story of a grandfather passing on a lighter that saved his life to his grandson
This is great, I love it
Zippo are bulletproof, they really save lives
could be an old nokia advertisment
great acting. beautiful music. zippo.
perfect.
Not fair. Amazing video. 30 seconds of perfection. I also love the 1 minute version but not as much as the 30 second version
I hope the super bowl has zippo comercials
hehe, that's just sweet!
I showed this to my Indian parents who thinks zippo is a lighter meant for chronic smoker..
And that’s why I love zippo and I hate my parents
omg i got my dads zippo from wwii 2
The composer is David Cieri, I looked for the track but I'm unable to find it. So I think he composed this just for this advertisement.
The 1 dislike is the soldiers friend who got shot...yes.. he came back as a ghost just to dislike this. True story
Nice lighter. Truly American
Kubansky Parenek wait but how can he take out the insert?
I love this video!
I know there was a solider that was saved from taking a bullet by his zippo but is that him?
You know what I don't like of this comercial? When it end

I think the zippos were made of stainless steel instead of brass during the war (since the brass was needed in the war)
I love Zippo
i think they did something on mythbusters where they tested if a lighter could stop a bullet. idk the outcome though
this is so awesome
Deep
Sweet!
2 people had a zippo on in the other pocket
Nokia can do that
Nokia can stop a 50cal
Wow that's EXACTLY what happend to my grandfather
This guy is awesome
everyman/boy shold own a zippo
Perfect
Real?
great comercial
Necesito una de sas, zippo salva vidas
Very deep..
sure that works too
Ok then how does he take the lighter out of its case in order to refill it with that dent?
@o0matthowarth0o
A soldier in Nam wrote about it in a Vietnam Zippo's collection book.
American made and great quality.
Buy American
Buy Zippo
Well that means smoking saves lifes. Always knew that
cool but can a zippo really stop a bullet?
Oh yes the WW2
Love zippo MADE IN USA ®️🇺🇸
The next generation will tell the same story with ipods.
Thats a Thing
Hope y'all know this is a true story
He was a really lucky man
yes in the vietnam war
+Roy daggenvoorde lets just hope that this hero is still alive and wish him good luck
+Roy daggenvoorde Vietnam was a scary place
yes
im sure these days shooting a flamable box of liquid thats right next to your heart is gonna do anything but save your life
must have been a round nosed handgun bullet. Rifle caliber spitzer rounds would have punched through.
actualy no his grand father did not say that.
@adidam1706 no... sadly it cannot
what is the song?
