So, buckle up and get ready for some giggles as we navigate the bizarre and hilarious side of candle culture! Hold onto your pizza slices, folks! Bath and Body Works just dropped a candle that combines the heavenly scent of pizza with the questionable aroma of ranch dressing. Can you imagine?

Haystack humorously explores what’s next in the realm of bizarre candle pairings. How about a hot dog and public pool combo? Sounds delightful, right? Or maybe a chips and salsa scent that has left some shoppers gagging. It begs the question: Why not stick to the classics, like lavender or freshly washed laundry? The laughter continues as we imagine the next round of 'perfect pairings' that might just make us want to hold our noses!

Transcript
Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It is Haystack and Bath and Body Works really swung for the fences with this one releasing a pizza and ranch candle.

Speaker A:

And apparently it was such a biohazard they've had to recall it from the air.

Speaker A:

I mean not.

Speaker A:

We all love pizza.

Speaker A:

I've made some very questionable life decisions around 2am before involving pizza.

Speaker A:

But I've never thought, you know, I wish my entire house smelt like a Domino's dumpster.

Speaker A:

I just never thought of that.

Speaker A:

The website had said it had notes of gooey cheese.

Speaker A:

I've never sniffed a pizza and thought, man, I wish I could just keep this smell on my nightstand.

Speaker A:

It's not really.

Speaker A:

That's a warning is what it is.

Speaker A:

And so then they add ranch and look, I love ranch dressing, okay?

Speaker A:

But ranch is something you dip a chicken strip in, not something I want hanging in the air while I'm trying to pay my bills or pet my dog.

Speaker A:

I mean imagine trying to do your taxes while your whole house smells like the inside of a bowling alley snack bar.

Speaker A:

And then some, I don't know, crispy pepperonis.

Speaker A:

It just, it did not go well.

Speaker A:

A viral TikTok showed some girls smelling it in one of the stores and they are doing stank face.

Speaker A:

I mean once one person said my life just flashed before my eyes.

Speaker A:

Look, a candle should never bring you closer to the light.

Speaker A:

That should never happen.

Speaker A:

So they've dropped the price from $26 at Bath and Body Works down to 8 bucks to try and get people to buy it.

Speaker A:

It was part of something they called perfect pairings.

Speaker A:

Their perfect pairings collection.

Speaker A:

But I just.

Speaker A:

What's going to be next?

Speaker A:

Hot dog and public pool, I guess.

Speaker A:

They've got one that said that's called the chips and salsa candle.

Speaker A:

One of the girls said it smells pretty bad too.

Speaker A:

Can we not stick with the classics?

Speaker A:

You know, clean pillow or clean laundry.

Speaker A:

Lavender and vanilla.

Speaker A:

It's just, it's bad.

Speaker A:

I just hope that they don't come up with more of these perfect pairings that are nasty.

Speaker A:

Maybe, maybe, hopefully they won't release something like.

Speaker B:

Well, gather round folks.

Speaker B:

It's the time of day when we laugh and smile in a light hearted way.

Speaker B:

Tune in for the giggles and let's kick back.

Speaker B:

Here comes the fun.

Speaker B:

It's the morning six pack.

Speaker A:

Hopefully they don't release something like one of these items on the candle pairings that smell just as bad as pizza and ranch.

Speaker A:

Coming in at number six, fermented skull spit and your last tender dates breath.

Speaker A:

I'm about to throw up.

Speaker A:

Just saying that.

Speaker A:

Oh, and I know it was coming.

Speaker A:

I wrote that down.

Speaker A:

That's.

Speaker A:

Believe it or not, I try to come up with some of these before I take off.

Speaker A:

I know it doesn't seem like it.

Speaker A:

Coming in.

Speaker A:

Number five, chicken house and wet dog.

Speaker A:

Number four, Uranus.

Speaker A:

I'm talking about the planet.

Speaker A:

Now.

Speaker A:

Don't be juvenile.

Speaker A:

Uranus.

Speaker A:

And well, your.

Speaker A:

Your anus.

Speaker A:

Coming in at number three, Noxzema and a roadside weddington deer carcass.

Speaker A:

Number two, Bevo and Ugga.

Speaker A:

And the number one candle pairing that smells just as bad as pizza and ranch gas station sushi and the seat on Santa's sleigh the morning after Christmas.

Speaker A:

You know, that big guy is all kind of sweaty.
