Oh-MYo Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hi again all. Hope you're up to your ears in wax, soap and teddy bears....well..if thats what you want to be doing....lolJust wanted to say that I bought a Betty Crocker candle last week and was quite impressed. It was the shape of the jar that first caught my eye, then the price. Literally a THIRD of what I would have paid for a Yankme. Not that I would even bother to pay Yankme prices.Persoanlly I loved the Betty Crocker. Good scent throw, melt pool almost to the edge at the very top, and then reaching the edge as it burned lower.Just thought I'd give a good review to a department store candle, especially in light of Yankme's high price/low performance record.Oh yah, and that old Wood Wick topic just wont die:http://www.candlefind.com/candle-reviews/christina-reviews/old-virginia-candle/old-virginia-candle.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Hmmmm.... I've wondered how well those burn. Whenever I see one though, I keep thinking that there should be some free sample of cookie or cake mix, or something! Nice to read a review of it here.

Firehouse Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 The Brookshires by my house has some of these around Christmas a couple years ago. The one we tried smelled almost good enough to eat. It smoked a lot and my jar turned black. But it did smell awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cissy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I saw those in a CVS pharmacy, didn't buy one, but did like the way they look and the cold throw was good. I wondered what kind of wax they use, looks like bubbles in the wax, very pretty, I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terrie Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 Hmmm...surprising! I bought one on clearance last year and it was crappy! No throw, and tunneled like crazy. It was the Mint Brownie one. But I love the jar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella soy Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 can you post a pic of this candle? I want to see the jar! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Girl Posted April 25, 2006 Share Posted April 25, 2006 I saw them last night at Brookshire's Grocery. I wasn't even tempted. However... several years ago, they did make a cake candle with 3 or 4 wicks that was to die for, and it smelled just like angel food or lemon cake. I have not seen one since, guess they quit making them or they aren't here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mindy5140 Posted April 26, 2006 Share Posted April 26, 2006 I have a Betty Crocker candle, only lit it once and noticed that the wick was totally off center and the one side of the jar got extremely hot so I never lit it again. But I do have to say it had a great cold and hot throw. Mine is Strawberry and Cream.Mindy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
