If I don’t like them it’s probably because it’s scented and makes my allergies go nuts 😟

PSA: Don’t give scented candles to your friends who keep invertebrate pets. There is some evidence that aerosolized scents can cause dyskinetic syndrome, which is a terrible way to go.

because the volatine chemicals have aromatic compounds, or alcohols in it.

They’re a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can’t quite get around to throwing away

That doesn’t sound right but I don’t know enough about stars to dispute it.

i have irritant-induced asthma and if there’s a lit candle in the room with me I breathe significantly worse and have to cough a lot

scented is very noxious, because they have chemicals in it to volatilize the scents. usually aromatic carbons(benzene structure) or alcohols.

I like giving bacon scented candles to my vegan friends to remind them of what they’re missing.

Is it a dick move if they’re vegan bacon scented candles though?

But you called the original comment and I quote a dick move so I thought it was up to you?

So why did you unilaterally decide that a bacon scented candle to a vegan is a dick move?

You seem to be under the impression my opinion counts for anything. You should stop that.

My mother-in-law keeps giving me scented candles for my birthday. I’m happy to receive them because it’s one less thing she has to worry about - what do I want for my birthday? Scented candles.
They all end up in the charity shops but she doesn’t need to know that. :)

They are consumables so you can just say you used the up if anyone asks.
As a person who is difficult to buy for (not because I want special things but because I don’t really want anything), candles are ideal as I either like them and use them, or can say I did. Much better that something I am expected to wear or constantly display in my home.

Most of the candle is designed very specifically so that it will not, in fact, catch fire and burn.

And they never go bad so you can just slap a new label on the gift and give it to someone else next Christmas
If I give you a candle as a present, I was never your friend.
