Honey, I’ve invited two old friends for dinner. Well, truth be told, they invited themselves—and our brains are on the menu. Also available in a dinosaur version.

You may be surprised to learn that besides getting these awesome lighter shaped candles for your favorite smokers birthday cake, you will also need to get one that actually works to light them. Seems like a lot of duplication and a failing on the part of the manufacturer. It couldn’t cost them much to add one working lighter with the pack.

If your birthday boy or girl needs a little incentive to put some effort into blowing out the candles on their cake, these candles should give them plenty. Sticks of dynamite and little bombs can only be left to burn for so long before something bad could happen. There won’t be any explosion when using these candles, but you are the only one who is really sure about that.

I have seen a candle shaped like a standard incandescent bulb before, but it seems that even the Amish are looking for more energy efficient solutions these days. Enter the compact fluorescent candle.

When two tea lights in the center of the Mathmos candle are lit, the heat energy produced by the flame rises to the top and spins small, angled blades. The blades are connected to a series of skeletal horsemen cutouts that move without being touched—creeping out all who gaze upon it.

Roman numeral candles are not what first comes to my mind when I hear the words Roman Candles. These candles are ideal for those of us getting up in age. If you put one candle on my cake for every year of my life then what you really end up with is a small bonfire. Then you have the issue of smoke alarms going off and you are probably hoping that you don’t have an automatic sprinkler fire suppression system. Besides, does it make much sense to make the elderly have to blow out more candles than the kids?

They call these erotic candles, but I am not so sure the man would agree. Jane has a wick in the top of her head. And while that is probably not all too pleasant, it looks a lot less painful than where poor Dick’s wick is. I am not sure I could even light the thing.

I am guessing that some people would think reminding oneself of the seven deadly sins would be so they could avoid them. Others look at them as their main means of having a good time. Either way, pick a sin, light the candle and enjoy the aroma corresponding to which sin you want to experience (or, for others, to avoid).
Fragrances are cherry (lust), passion flower (desire), fig (naughtiness), narcissus (vanity), cappuccino (indulgence), chocolate (greed) and caramel (laziness). But Fig? How are figs asscoiated with naughtiness? Something to think about.

Nothing says you take your religious obligations seriously like a Caterpillar Menorah. Who knows, maybe someday this will be the design that is a standard. Maybe not - but you will still have this cool caterpillar.

Sure, these Fortune Cookie Candles are more fun than your average candle, but my question is – where is the fortune? It seems to me that they could have gone the extra mile and placed an actual fortune inside the cookie that would be revealed as the wax melted away.
