Butter candles, anyone? ....Anyone?

Apparently this is something that's been going around TikTok for a couple of months.

Just because one can, doesn’t mean one should…

Who doesn't like a little carbon with their bread and butter?

It is disrespectful in every way.

When I clicked on this topic I misread it as Butter CANDIES. And I thought whoa!, disrespectful? But now I agree; especially disrespectful of the cow who gave up the goods. I burn through a pound of butter, and it's not an insignificant chunk of money. So a candle seems unbelievably stupid, which goes without saying. I like my butter evenly spread over my toast, and not dripping on my open book. Oh well, reading by candle light? That ship has sailed.

 

Knowing nothing about TikTok I assume that in addition to being made of butter they are scented: "Burnt Butter,"  "Peanut Butter,"   "Salted Caramel,"  "Nightlight,"  "Butter Me Up, Buttercup" and "Oreo."  And currently under development,  "Street Lamp" and "Footprint." Go Gen Alpha!

Disrespectful is a great word. How is it with half the world talking about inflation/food prices, the other half are finding ways to be wasteful (I am no fan of butter or any other “boards” which smear copius amounts of spreads on wood planks, either).
