The Boring Company is really pushing the definition of “Flamethrower”

The Boring Company has managed now to sell more than 15,000 flamethrowers with shockingly little detail about what they are or how they work. Boring Company's website gives you a picture and a two-line description and then asks for $500.

When you separate Boring Company's product from the hyped-up descriptor of "flamethrower," it doesn't even seem like it's an exceptional fire-producing device. There's no official information on how the device works or what the propellant is, but it looks to be nothing more than a propane torch with fancy styling.
