I'm wondering about the production process - how do those candles attain that scent? And if we are talking about a handicraft cottage industry approach with the personal owner inserting (I use the term in all innocence) herself into the process (as would befit a brand such as goop), then I fear that production numbers need to be carefully curbed - for quality as well as health reasons.

Just my two scents, really.

Flash thought: Wouldn't lighting such a candle bring up some intensive memories, lieber Dave?

Flash thought #2: With goop's more recent product liability issues well documented, I do hope that those candles come with a health warning that their employment for perineum tanning constitutes a severe and dangerous misuse and cannot be recommended. People do all kinds of things!

It would probably bring Blind Boy Fuller to mind.

Can anybody explain to me what so funny about exchanging smileys? I think I've lost track ...

Not sure what you mean. No one's exchanging smileys, it's just a reaction to the tweet.

Ah, now I get it! My office computer blocks twitter and other social media so I indeed only saw your smileys.
