What Once Was Red Is Black Instead
Tear one off and scratch my head, what once was red is black instead. What am I?
A match. You tear a match out of a matchbook and scratch the head to light it, then the red tip turns black from the flame.
This is an exact duplicate of Tear One Off and Scratch My Head but I’m leaving it to avoid broken links.
