Matchbooks are having an unlikely renaissance, says The Wall Street Journal. Match collecting is gaining popularity with younger generations across the US, prompting bars, restaurants, hotels, and shops to bring out their own branded boxes. TikTok users are documenting their hunts for the pocket-sized treasures, swapping tips on where to find the best designs, and even trading their favourites.
