(AP) COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Fans of White Castle's oniony hamburgers have a new way to indulge without any calorie guilt: a scented candle infused with the burgers' aroma.
The Columbus, Ohio-based fast-food chain this week introduced candles that smell like its Slider burgers in a promotion with Autism Speaks. Proceeds from the sale of the $10 candles will benefit the New York-based charity.
The candles resemble a packaged White Castle burger and are being sold at the company's restaurants and on its website. The wax is encased in a ceramic holder that looks like a Slider's cardboard sleeve.
All right, so what the fuck is going on with these promotions these days. First we had "Buckets for the Cure" where you'd buy a KFC Bucket and 50 cents of cost got donated for Breast Cancer. Now we have White Castle offering burger scented candles with the money going to a New York based-charity. Sounds like a great idea, except they forgot one thing.
As soon as you light this candle you're going to say, "Oh my fucking god, that smells amazing and go straight to White Castle and indulge on a slider"....or 20.
I don't know what's going on these days, but these ideas to help charities are definitely starting to contribute to the obesity problem in America.
PS- How many candles are going to be bought by stoned teenagers who think this is a great idea?
