    When is a candle more than a candle?

    When it’s a Mandle Candle, apparently.

    This is one of the most hilariously awful products I’ve seen in ages. Not only is it truly hideous, the advert and website are terrible. Witness the sheer pleasure on the woman’s face at the beginning of the TV ad (on the site, or – amazingly – national TV), and note that it can “delight and entertain you for hours” (you’d have to be pretty damn bored) or “set the tone of an evening” (if you’re going for the cheap look).

    Notice too that the headline 0n the site announces it’s “perfect for conversations”…
    “I really think we need to talk”
    “Okay, let’s light the Mandle Candle”

    I haven’t seen anything so laugh-out-loud funny in a very long time.
