After Jones Soda did the six-pack of Thanksgiving dinner themed sodas (including Turkey & Gravy), this kind of thing just doesn't surprise me any more. I guess it's meant as more of a novelty thing than something people would actually use in seriousness.
I have seen their ice cream machines start working more and more frequently. It appears there is a direct correlation between which locations pay more and which locations have ice cream. (Investigation ongoing)
Most of what I always knew from employees was it was something that was a pain to clean so they would want to start early (preclose) to make sure they could get out quicker. Then eventually some would close it earlier and if sales were low on ice cream they would lie and say it was broken so they wouldn't have to use it all.
As a former young person, living in a studio apartment of 20m^2, I don't have to imagine that. And yes I did read the word "deliberately" - I wanted to see how much onion I could put in bolognese. Turns out a lot, when you blend the onion. Also it turns out that blending onion in your studio apartment is stupid.
I worked at McDonald's for a bit in college. I was a vegetarian at the time (still am) and smelling like the grill all the time made me constantly queasy - I looked fantastic at 150 pounds but I lost 30 pounds in three months working there and it genuinely wasn't healthy.
The sixth, here-unnamed candle is "Sesame Seed Bun" for anyone else who can count and was wondering.
This wasn't just a meme? These candles are real????

Didn't they also do a cranberry sauce flavored soda in that pack? I bet a cranberry soda would be pretty good.
It is, but we’re three years too late.
I came to the comments just for this, thank you.
They wanted to make a McFlurry variant too, but couldn't find a working machine to get a sample.

Right to repair DMCA mess and maybe intentionally temperamental to extract repair fees.

This article discusses similar when I just tried to look up and see if I could find more info on whether it was a DMCA issue or a combination. https://www.thedailymeal.com/1188488/its-likely-that-your-mcdonalds-ice-cream-machine-is-dirty-not-broken/
The pickle one is the one that gets commented on? Imagine a "beef" candle. 🤮🤮🤮
Imagine deliberately making your room smell like onions

True. They're all pretty bad but the pickle one might be the best!
I would instantly get hungry - nothing fires up my appetite more than that sweet smell of onions in a hot pan
Sounds like you've never cooked anything besides ramen before
I want a garum candle
It's not authentic without a "grease that is just a tad too old" component though
Soured tallow candle when
Try expired crisco, that shit stinky
Who the fuck wants a burger candle lmao?
Nobody, that's why they did individual ingredients candles.
I know but who wants that either
No one, they just want you thinking about it and interacting with the idea, which you are doing.
Whyyyy
I've got a KFC fire log.
What’s that ? I know they kade a gaming pc that can warm your chicken
It's like a fire starter log, only it's made to smell like KFC. It's kind of amusing.
"Hey man, how are...I will fucking kill you."
smelling like food all the time was one of my major contributing factors to quit my fast food job in high school
Understandable. That would certainly substantially increase the risk of being vored.
How much of a threat is that if you aren't around wild anacondas or furries?
This is Lemmy. Do you think you're ever safe from furries here?
Who said I'm trying to be safe
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I ran a barbeque grill for one day for a fundraiser in high school. That was enough for me to know I didn't ever want to work in a restaurant.
Y'all haven't lived until you've had "The smell from when you're standing in line for E.T. the ride" scented candle.

The proper McDonald's candle smell would be the salty hot grease as that's how every single location smells.
Lights pickles candle, then putting on brass knuckles and a mouth guard. Let's fucking goooo!
If the room smells like pickles, but doesn’t actually contain any delicious pickles for me to eat, I will get very upset, too.
“Babe wake up, new aggro strat just dropped”
It's gonna be like working at McDonald's lol Whose idea was that?
Why? Pickles smell good.
He must have had the wrong kind of pickles before…
