“Part happy, part sad, a little relieved, and unsure of your future financial stability: the complex emotions of divorce are captured in this very complex candle.”
‘Freshly signed Divorce Papers’, ‘One Night Teakwood Stand’, and ‘Grandma’s Last Christmas Tree’—these are just some of the unique scented candles by the Flicking Candle Company.
Made in US from 100% soy, it is “the only candle company in America brave enough to celebrate the fresh scent of failed marriages, ruined friendships, rejection, criminal activity, unprotected sex, and unexpected weight gain”.
Chalked full of humor, these candles are the perfect gift for loved ones who are “going through a hard time”.
As the company puts it: “There is no better way to subtly acknowledge their personal setbacks than with a candle that illuminates those challenges and puts them on display for everyone to see.”
Each scented candle is priced at US$16.99, and they can be purchased here.
“Bad weather? Not enough money? Unexpected circumstances? Whatever the cause, it stinks to have a planned vacation suddenly ripped away from you and cancelled. Let us help you air out that attitude with our sweet smelling Cancelled Vacation candle, perfect for filling any room with the wonderful smells of the tropical island you won’t be visiting.”
“It takes a big man to admit you’re into other men. Your parents probably already knew, but your grandparents and friends certainly did not. Enjoy this moment-- and enjoy Cucumbers or Melons any way you want to, not just how God intended.”
“Nothing makes a bolder statement than getting defriended. Our candle captures that sweet smell of attempting to stalk someone’s profile, only to find that you no longer have access to their pictures.”
“This candle captures a unique, yet hard to recognize scent, similar to how Grandma might not be able to recognize you.”
“This candle has the same crisp smell of a freshly folded letter from the college of your choice, proudly declaring that you should look elsewhere for your education. We hope that burning this candle helps shed some light on a new career path-- or possibly a trade school? While you may be disappointed now, just remember that life is full of disappointment, and this rejection letter is a life lesson, free of charge from a college that doesn't want you.”
“Nobody should judge what goes on in your bedroom but you. Whether it’s the hard wood you prefer or just the closeness to the bed, our candle fills any room with the aroma of the first time you indulged in that one night teakwood stand. Sure, you may regret your decision later, but regret is just another part a life and we want to celebrate that with you. Also, get tested.”
“You love her like no other, and she loves you like a brother. She wishes every boyfriend could be more like you, but not actually you. You are the pilot of a plane that will never come in for a landing. You, sir, are trapped circling the airspace of the friend-zone. But that’s okay, because you’ve agreed that neither of you would ever want to mess up your ‘special friendship.’ Lighting our candle sets the perfect mood for a date with her and some other guy. But don’t worry, she’ll tell you all about it later. ”
