Incredibly Realistic Food Candles: Good Enough to Eat?

Posted on by

Because who doesn’t want a bunch of candles they have to be reminded not to eat all the time, Atlanta tattoo artist Chavonna “Bang” Ross created Bang’N Candles, an impressively large line of candles inspired by the food we all know and love. If you’ve eaten it, Bang probably makes a candle version, with over 200 different varieties to choose from. I’ll have the Surf & Turf and a Ceasar salad, please!

All the candles are made from 100% soy wax, and some are even scented like the dishes they look like. Others are just fresh linen-scented. Honestly, that’s probably smart, considering if a candle smells like the hot wing basket with fries, it looks like I probably will eventually take a bite.

I like how the candles come in the appropriate serving containers, too; that’s a nice touch. Touching an open flame? Not such a nice touch. A bad touch, as a matter of fact, but like a moth, I just can’t help myself. No wonder my wife replaced all the candles around our house with those fake LED ones.

Velveeta Cheese-Scented Nail Polish: Finger Lickin’ Good

Posted on by

Available as a limited-edition collaboration between Velveeta and Nails.INC, the Pinkies Out Polish Creamy Smooth Cheese Scented Nail Polish Duo is a $15 two-pack of Velveeta-inspired nail polish that smells like cheese when dried. The pinnacle of human achievement: we’ve finally reached it. I never imagined it would happen in my lifetime, yet here we are.

Per Velveeta’s official announcement: “What’s up, mother forkers – We’re introducing the world to Velveeta Pinkies Out Polish, a red and yellow cheese-scented polish that’s bold, over-the-top, and made to stand out with your smallest finger out. That’s #LaDolceVelveeta.” Wow, first we reach the pinnacle of human achievement, then I’m addressed by a cheese company as a ‘mother forker’ – today is just full of surprises.

So, the question remains: if my wife is wearing Velveeta cheese-scented nail polish, am I going to try nibbling her fingernails when she puts her arm around me? That remains to be seen. Or, in my case, tasted. So yes, the answer is yes – I am absolutely going to do that.

Scented Whipped Putties Are for Playing, Not Eating

Posted on by

Just in time for the putty/slime/goop trend to be over, now we have these Scented Whipped Putties from Vat19. The putties come in peanut butter, mixed berry, chocolate, and marshmallow scents, and cost $6 per 175-gram (~6-ounce) jar. You don’t get to pick your flavor though, Vat19 just sends you a random one. My mouth is watering already!

Now, why would you make a product that you’re not supposed to eat and put it in a jar that looks like it’s food and make it smell like something delicious? The product label says for ages 4+ but I’m 30+ and there’s absolutely no question I’m still going to eat some of that and get a tummy ache.

Now I know what you’re wondering, and no, it isn’t lipstick, my lips and nose are purple because of those Mr. Sketch scented markers and grape is my favorite flavor. Remember when you were a kid and you’d take the caps off two of them and just jam each one up a nostril? Those were simpler times.

Moodo’s smart fragrance box adds a hint of vanilla to your home

It's no secret that not every Kickstarter or Indiegogo project becomes a reality. Often times, these ideas get crowdfunded but don't get turned into an actual product, but thankfully that wasn't the case for the Moodo smart air freshener. The project...

KFC-Scented Candle Sure Sounds Better Than Most Regular Scented Candles

‘Morning breeze’, or ‘spring harvest’, or ‘honeydew explosion’ are just some of the creative names given to candle scents these days. They’re meant to convince you that your crappy little urban apartment is not actually a can of sardines squished between other sardine cans, but a wild and sprawling property in the wild. We reject the illusion and are rather more attracted to the above Kentucky Fried Chicken scented candle. Made by frying some chicken in soy wax and adding a few other “family secrets”, the candle allegedly smells pretty legit. They’re only making 25 of these, which they’re selling for $22 a piece.

Samsung patents perfume-packing cellphone… again

Samsung patents perfume-packing cell phone... again

Seriously, Samsung, what the heck is with the scented cellphone patents? This isn't the first, or even the second time you've thought to put pockets of perfume in a handset. This latest patent is slightly different from earlier concepts, we suppose. We see this one has a scent refilling station built into the charging dock. So, when you set the phone down to charge the battery, it also "charges" the aromatic sponge in the body. It's also notable that this isn't a passive scented strip or a spraying mechanism. Instead the "absorbant material" is heated, either by the battery directly or by circuitry triggered as part of an alert. So, every time your hippy buddy calls, your phone could blast Phish and fill the air with the scent of patchouli (or, something else...).
