Ever had a candle that smelled so good you seriously thought about taking a bite out of it?

1. No. Most scented candles make me want to hurl.
Can't stand 'em, especially the fruity or vanilla-ish ones that are supposed to smell like some sort of food but are horrible and cloying and... :puke:

4.  I worked adjacent to a candle factory for three years
Believe me, after that experience, no candle smells good enough to eat.

7. I was on a high school swim team in the 70s.
Given two daily practices(before and after school), the ever present fragrance of chlorine and frequent pangs of hunger; I must admit those strawberry, apricot, peach scented shampoos did get to smelling quite delicious. No, I was never tempted to try tasting them though.

Although scented candles smell ok, I won't be eating any.

If they could make a scented candle with a "new-car smell", I would take it for spin around the block.

6. I once had a green tea-based aftershave that smelled good enough to drink.
One bottle and a stomach pumping later, I came away with some valuable lessons about safety, love...and life.
