That's funny, I bought some for a cold a couple of weeks ago and thought it was a great container. I put in a whole box of REI stormproof matches and the strikers in the plastic sheath in mine, they fit snugly without being tight. Those are long matches and won't fit most containers. I did have to take a sharp knife and cut the oxygen absorber and the springy plastic thingy off. Because the lip of the lid sticks out I thought it might catch on something and pull off, so I wrapped 5 or 6 feet of orange duct tape around the container. Enough to make the final diameter the same as the diameter of the lid and about 1/2" gap to get your finger in to easily pop the lid off.

Get rid of your cold a little faster AND get a good match container....it's all good!
