Looking for a way to mask the scent of your sweaty gym socks? Or how about a way to attract the pleasantly plump and hungry to your dorm room? Well look no further than the new ‘Steam Grilled on a Bed of Onions’ scented candle from White Castle.
In honor of National Hamburger Month, the fast food chain has partnered with Nest Fragrances to create this limited edition candle that comes in a ceramic holder made to mimic White Castle’s hamburger packaging. “When I think of truly superior aromas, I think of the aroma of a freshly grilled White Castle hamburger — life just doesn’t get better than that,” Laura Slatkin, founder of Nest Fragrances, said in a prepared statement. “We have captured that exact essence in our White Castle candle!”
That’s funny, when I think of truly superior aromas, I think of roses, lavender, or that girl that sat next to me in high school who smelled like vanilla. Not a greasy hamburger. To each their own, I guess. You know somewhere in this story is a Harold and Kumar joke, but I’ll let you make up your own.
White Castle is selling the candles online for $10 and at select restaurants all this month, so get yours while the getting is MMM MMM good!

I was wondering when someone would offer a morsel on this. I suppose this is great for people who can't cook worth crap, and want some delicious smells when they're boiling their mac and cheese from the box.

Personally, I just think it is awesome that Zombie Awareness Month shares the month with National Hamburger Month. Putting the two together, it becomes clear that we need to remain vigilent. After all, tainted burger meat is a classic method of becoming a zombie.

[...] White Castle Scented Candles – They mean the burgers. If they had been talking about the White Castle on Fordham Rd. I used to go to the smell would be gunpowder, crack, piss and fear. [...]

I can't imagine a hamburger scented candle. I thought a leather scented one was odd when my little bro told me that was his friend's favorite kind. Hamburger scented ones definitely take the cake.
