The other day my mom and I went to Half Price Books and they had these candles themed for books. They had Cthulhu and Pride and Prejudice, and tbh Cthulhu smells pretty good. I’d expect Cthulhu to smell like driftwood, dead fish, and existential despair, but okay. But then I opened up the candle, and this is what it looks like. 

It was completely blank, except for a tiny blank sticker on the bottom that says CTHULHU in plain type. So once you toss the box or have the candle on a shelf, you can’t tell what it’s supposed to be for. They put no effort into the candle itself other than the scent. It was pretty disappointing. 

I feel better now.
