Here's a gift idea for the person whose apartment smells like dirty socks and stale cigarettes: a White Castle candle.
Why cover up stale odors with froufrou perfume-y candles and Glade plug-ins? The White Castle candle's scent, made to mimic hamburgers smothered in fried onions, wafts perfectly in an apartment littered with empty pizza cartons, Taco Bell wrappers and White Castle cardboard sleeves.
In fact, the shape of the ceramic candleholder mimics the signature cardboard sleeve used to house the restaurant's Sliders.
We tested the candle and found it to have nowhere near the pungent draw of a neighborhood White Castle shop. But it does border on unpleasant.
The candle is available for $13 in restaurants, or by mail (plus $8.95 shipping) at www.houseofcrave.com or 1-866-208-6421.
Net proceeds from candle sales benefit Autism Speaks.
