McDonald's Is Selling McDonald's Scented Candles, And No One Wants This
Marketing departments have gifted us with many things nobody wants over the years, such as Baby Nut, depression-themed fast food, the McDonald's Happy Mascot, etc. However, no quirky marketing stunt in recent memory is as odorously repulsive as McDonald's "quarter pounder candles," six candles meant to burn simultaneously so that you can fill your house with the same lingering stench of a McDonald's burger that's in your car.

You get home from work. The house smells like I've been cooking. You ask how my day was. I wink at you & say I have a surprise. I take your hand & lead you into the bedroom. You notice that I've lit six candles to really set the mood. I put on my Ronald McDonald mask and- https://t.co/sRsEnGWL6S

McDonald's will also be selling lockets with the smells, in case you want a quick whiff of a quarter pounder on the go.
