I have heard that strike anywhere matches are used in the making of certain street drugs.This is why they are not what they used to be.The same can be said of Polar Pure iodine crystals.Last I knew they are no longer available.Again the lower element causes restrictions on the prepared minded.....

You know, I didn't even think of that. You can't even buy two boxes of cold medicine nowadays. That's a shocker to folks like us that buy cartloads of stuff to be prepared.
That may have a lot to do with it, but I'm not sure. After all, didn't they just move the stuff from the tip of the match to the side of the box?
