White Castle candle

White Castle, makers of the world's finest square sliders (IMO!!), have productized their glorious steamed beef/onion odor in the form of a candle. The candles have already sold out online but according to WCPO.com, they can be purchased at White Castle locations for $10, including the ceramic carton.

  Maybe it’s that I’m a vegetarian…but ick.

  I feel like I’m in the minority here, but not only do I like White Castle, I like this candle, and have no agenda to attach to it.

• [Gutierrez]

  I thought I craved electrolytes?

• [scifijazznik]

  You know if you just light a White Castle, it will burn longer than the candle, right?

  If today were April Fool’s Day I would’ve guessed this were a joke

  The only time i ever ate White Castles was on a visit to NYC in 1982 – we bought a few and then hung out in Brooklyn. The chain only made it here to California for a short time. Though I’ve had the frozen, store-bought version – which kind of suck

  If I’m recalling correctly, the smell of a White Castle burger is sharp, steamy and very bitterly beefy

  The White Castle souvenir website was selling them, but they’re currently out of stock:

  Are they made with real beef fat?

  If only there were Dick’s Drive-In candles, then I would be all over this.

  Would have been better if they had used the orignal white castle design.

  “Productized”? Have we really stooped that low, or have I just been successfully trolled?

  I think the candle is cool but there is one issue I have. I am a member of GRASP, which allows aspies to speak for aspies. But this campagain benefits ‘Autism Speaks’ the curbie group who put a C & D against a spectrumite for making a parody of their website. If you buy this, tell these folks that there are better orgs to help.

  Krystal’s are better.

  I keep having to be reminded that this is a fastfood chain and not a Dentistry chain.

  You can pry my Krystals out of my cold, dead Southern hands.

  More of a Little Tavern man myself…But they’re all gone now.

    Yes they were the best in the 50s and 60s (Little Tavern) I think some of them are now Chinese Carry outs
