Infineon creates world's largest match

The match head is the size of a family car. The shaft is as long as a London bus.



The box covers an area the size of Wales.

Well, that'll be handy to keep the rain off then.

The cigarettes it has been designed to light are the same height as the Post Office Tower.

Or the BT tower, whatever it's called now.

I'm afraid that I can't get a handle on how big it is without the use of proper S.I. units.

So I'll have the area in Football Pitches, please. And the weight of the match in Blue Whales would be handy.

Can we have more images of women please? I just got an email form Apple about the new Mac Mini. There was a pic of female apple store worked and I came specifically here to tell the world that i 'would'.

Disappointed that massive matches replaces massive snatches.

Well done infineon. Nothing else can *match* the size of that. Lets hope your workers dont go on *strike*, otherwise the management will be sul-fur-ious.

You've got it all wrong. The match is just there for scale. The chip is very small, smaller than the head of a match, that's why they did it.

I checked the BBC site and there was no mention of a massive match, which would've been the case if it was true.

Sorry to disappoint you guys.
