The sixth, here-unnamed candle is "Sesame Seed Bun" for anyone else who can count and was wondering.

[–] anytimesoon@lemmy.ml 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

This wasn't just a meme? These candles are real????

[–] Thalfon@sh.itjust.works 16 points 10 months ago (1 children)

After Jones Soda did the six-pack of Thanksgiving dinner themed sodas (including Turkey & Gravy), this kind of thing just doesn't surprise me any more. I guess it's meant as more of a novelty thing than something people would actually use in seriousness.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 3 points 10 months ago

Didn't they also do a cranberry sauce flavored soda in that pack? I bet a cranberry soda would be pretty good.

[–] TragicNotCute@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

It is, but we’re three years too late.

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 months ago

I came to the comments just for this, thank you.

They wanted to make a McFlurry variant too, but couldn't find a working machine to get a sample.

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I have seen their ice cream machines start working more and more frequently. It appears there is a direct correlation between which locations pay more and which locations have ice cream. (Investigation ongoing)

Most of what I always knew from employees was it was something that was a pain to clean so they would want to start early (preclose) to make sure they could get out quicker. Then eventually some would close it earlier and if sales were low on ice cream they would lie and say it was broken so they wouldn't have to use it all.

This article discusses similar when I just tried to look up and see if I could find more info on whether it was a DMCA issue or a combination. https://www.thedailymeal.com/1188488/its-likely-that-your-mcdonalds-ice-cream-machine-is-dirty-not-broken/

The pickle one is the one that gets commented on? Imagine a "beef" candle. 🤮🤮🤮

[–] MEATPANTS@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Imagine deliberately making your room smell like onions

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 7 points 10 months ago

As a former young person, living in a studio apartment of 20m^2, I don't have to imagine that. And yes I did read the word "deliberately" - I wanted to see how much onion I could put in bolognese. Turns out a lot, when you blend the onion. Also it turns out that blending onion in your studio apartment is stupid.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

True. They're all pretty bad but the pickle one might be the best!

I would instantly get hungry - nothing fires up my appetite more than that sweet smell of onions in a hot pan

[–] MacNCheezus 1 points 10 months ago

Sounds like you've never cooked anything besides ramen before

[–] Manifish_Destiny@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

I want a garum candle

[–] Norgur@kbin.social 25 points 10 months ago (1 children)

It's not authentic without a "grease that is just a tad too old" component though

[–] optissima@lemmy.ml 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] TheSaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Try expired crisco, that shit stinky

[–] Glitch777@lemmy.world 17 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Who the fuck wants a burger candle lmao?

[–] XTornado@lemmy.ml 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Nobody, that's why they did individual ingredients candles.

[–] Glitch777@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I know but who wants that either

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

No one, they just want you thinking about it and interacting with the idea, which you are doing.

What’s that ? I know they kade a gaming pc that can warm your chicken

[–] PsychedSy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 months ago

It's like a fire starter log, only it's made to smell like KFC. It's kind of amusing.

[–] RIP_Cheems@lemmy.world 14 points 10 months ago

"Hey man, how are...I will fucking kill you."

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 10 months ago (3 children)

smelling like food all the time was one of my major contributing factors to quit my fast food job in high school

[–] Ragdoll_X@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Understandable. That would certainly substantially increase the risk of being vored.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

How much of a threat is that if you aren't around wild anacondas or furries?

[–] Sheeple@lemmy.world 10 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

This is Lemmy. Do you think you're ever safe from furries here?

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Who said I'm trying to be safe

[–] MEATPANTS@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

I worked at McDonald's for a bit in college. I was a vegetarian at the time (still am) and smelling like the grill all the time made me constantly queasy - I looked fantastic at 150 pounds but I lost 30 pounds in three months working there and it genuinely wasn't healthy.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 1 points 10 months ago

I ran a barbeque grill for one day for a fundraiser in high school. That was enough for me to know I didn't ever want to work in a restaurant.

[–] randomaside@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 10 months ago

Y'all haven't lived until you've had "The smell from when you're standing in line for E.T. the ride" scented candle.

[–] BustinJiber@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

The proper McDonald's candle smell would be the salty hot grease as that's how every single location smells.

[–] BigDanishGuy@sh.itjust.works 9 points 10 months ago

Lights pickles candle, then putting on brass knuckles and a mouth guard. Let's fucking goooo!

[–] jeanofthedead@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

If the room smells like pickles, but doesn’t actually contain any delicious pickles for me to eat, I will get very upset, too.

[–] TeckFire@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

“Babe wake up, new aggro strat just dropped”

[–] RoseRose56@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

It's gonna be like working at McDonald's lol Whose idea was that?

[–] FeelzGoodMan420@eviltoast.org 3 points 10 months ago

Why? Pickles smell good.

[–] MacNCheezus 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

He must have had the wrong kind of pickles before…
