Once upon a time, there was a candle that smelled like Canadian bacon. No one knew why it smelled that way.
The candle was advertised to smell like mint and cinnamon but it smelled like bacon.
People that bought it returned it but no store could accept it. It smelled too pungent. The longer it burned the stronger the bacon smell. Next thing the smell started getting into the walls. When the candle burned out, the entire house continued to smell like Canadian bacon for 40 days.
You could smell the candle from outside the house. It smelled like a 24/7 bacon party. The smell never went away.
The strange part about it was the smell never made you craved bacon. It made you crave tomato sauce for some reason. Every time you burned that candle, it made you want to go grocery shopping just to buy ten cans of tomato sauce. Next thing, you finish every one of those cans.
The worst part about the candle wasn’t the blatant false advertising. It was the smell it left on…
