A monstrous birthday candle
How long has it been since your birthday? Try remembering the candles on your birthday cake and all the space they took. I remember that I’ve been annoyed by the sheer number of those ever since I was twelve - and every year there’s one more. Seriously, how can anyone take those little petty things seriously?
So, whenever something becomes no longer interesting, you do the first (somewhat)logical thing that comes to your mind - SUPERSIZE it.
Who cares about candles that are only a few centimetres each and burn down after 5 - 6 minutes. They are easily replaced by one, humongous candle, at a height of 25.5 centimetres that can burn for 24 hours.
Well, okay, so it’s not humongous, but it’s still big in comparison. Yet at the same time, it’s size won’t cause you any trouble when you try to blow it out and won’t require a fire extinguisher present.
The candle only comes in reddish-pink (like in a picture) with it’s glass stand and a presentation box, in case you want to give it to someone as a present. My only complaint is that I like blue better (or nearly every other color with the exception of brown and grey).
The candle is £14.95 (Approx USD $26.91) from IWantOneOfThose.
