GourmetSoy Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 "I'd like mine extra strong please!" Like I have varying strengths. Let me just wave my magic wand! I give crappy ones to those who don't ask.:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

candlebug Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 oh Lordy, I have 2 off the wall questions that I have been asked...Wow, is that real fruit in those pies?Can I just purchase your oils as I have some candles at home that I want to poke a hole near the wick and fill up with oil to make them stronger? I saw her house going up in flames, lol and of course I told her that wasn't safe. The bad thing is I don't think she believed me and moved on, whew.

darci Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Someone asked me once, 'do the candles taste as good as they smell?' Duh, try one.:whistle: I have to admit I can honestly tell them 'no'. My brother was watching me pour candles one day, and I was grabbing the drip and wiping my finger on the pour pot like I do every time. He asked me, 'do you ever accidentally lick your finger?'... 'no, of course not', I tell him... then, what do I do? I licked my finger. Strawberry Jam - soy wax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candybee Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 What bugs me are the candle gougers and finger stickers. I often find gouge marks on the candle surface where someone poked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyW Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 When my sister had her store front people would say "oh this store only smells strong because they have all of these candles" um no it is because we have a melt going or a candle going type of thing.I have been asked "How do you know it smells good from start to finish", because I burn my own candles,I have also been asked if they taste like they smell and I know for a fact they don't as I did something similar to someone above, I went to wipe the edge (like making a cake), licked my finger and yuck...also got Home Sweet Home on my lip before...and Sweet Pea...And I have had those that say...just make mine stronger...lol...again-like someone said I wanted to say oh ok, I will just give the normal to someone else...but no I say-if I go any stronger it won't burn correctly...People crack me up honestly...Or the ones that say-I would rather make my own, and my response-YES you should look into it...it is LOTS of fun (which it is BUT, it is also work)...

number2of7 Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 In reference to our tarts I send out as samples: "There's no wick to light it and it doesn't bubble up when you shower with it, so what is it?" -- YES, THIS WOMAN ACTUALLY SHOWERED WITH IT!!!

Jane42 Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 We make gingerbread scented gingerbread boy melts around Christmas. We have had several men stop by our booth and say "I'll take a 1/2 dozen" - we say "do you realize these are melts, not cookies" - awwwwww, they get such a sad face on and say "oh, nevermind".Next year we should make gingerbread cookies so that these poor guys aren't so disappointed!

Dana Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 This is a good thread! I had a wholesale customer ask (for one of their customers) if I poured the outside of the (jar candle) first, and then just filled the center with scented wax...now why would I do that?? Think about it....HOW WOULD I DO THAT!? LOL:laugh2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
