Slider-scented candles?
Ick......




For charity, White Castle offers scented candles that give off aroma of its famous burgers
Published: Thursday, May 6, 2010 | 1:04 PM ET

Canadian Press The Associated Press


COLUMBUS, Ohio - Fans of fast food chain White Castle's oniony hamburgers have a new way to indulge without any calorie guilt: a scented candle infused with the burgers' aroma.

The Columbus, Ohio-based fast-food chain this week introduced candles that smell like its burgers in a promotion with Autism Speaks. Proceeds from the sale of the $10 candles will benefit the New York-based charity.

The candles resemble a packaged White Castle burger and are being sold at the company's restaurants and on its website. The wax is encased in a ceramic holder that looks like the cardboard sleeve that holds a small burger.

2. This story made SNL News segment last night. Seth Myers said that if
you enjoy eating alot of sliders, you probably don't need the candles as your home probably smells like them already.

4. I thought you meant like 'red-eared sliders'
Wild turtles smell kind of, um, wet and musky, not overtly unpleasant. But I would still be rather dubious about candles. White Castle? Aw Hell no!
