Burger w/onion candles, from White Castle

[Ivan Seeking]

If you misspent your youth in a part of the country where White Castle dominates the roadside landscape, the smell of the chain's onion-and-grease-laden sliders may have a Proustian effect on your olfactory nerve -- or your bowels. Now White Castle promises to deliver that aroma on demand, minus the actual belly bombers, via the new White Castle scented candle...

Mustard and ketchup sold separately.

Why can't they just donate to charity without the need for producing candles?

What a nutty idea.

I can produce that smell in my own kitchen AND get to eat the onions slathered on my grilled steak-and-cheese sandwich. And yes, it is a nutty idea. The candles cost $10 each - how much of that is eaten up by production, packaging, shipping, etc? They should just give money to charity and crow about it in their ads.

Darn, I missed the definitive punchline by a inch. It should have been "mustard and ketchup candles sold separately".

Nutty like a fox? Light the candle and one suddenly has the desire for a Slider?

LOL OMG this reminds me of the "FLAME" cologne released by Burger King; it captures the "essence" of the whopper. I'm buying some of those candles for my next relaxing bath
