Dude, Do I Smell White Castle?May 4, 2010 at 1:08PM by Eric Burkett | 3 Comments

“Hey, what's that smell?”

“What smell? Kumar...”

White Castle, the iconic hamburger chain that inspired stoners everywhere with its title role in the movie “Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle” has just released a scented candle. Hamburger-scented, of course. Mind you, this is the same company that sells burger-scented air fresheners so, in some bizarrely cosmic twist of logic, this makes sense. And even if it doesn’t make sense, at least the proceeds are going to a good cause.

The burger chain has partnered with Nest Fragrances founder Laura Slatkin, designer of fragrances for Vera Wang, Elton John, and Princess Diana, to create a truly distinctive scent. Described by one industry magazine as “the steam-grilled-on-a-bed-of-onions scent of America's first fast food hamburger” the candles are being offered throughout the month of May for 10 bucks. The proceeds support Autism Speaks which raises funds for autism research and advocacy.

Actually, the first run of candles – modeled after White Castle’s cardboard burger packages – has already sold out. More will be coming in. Keep an eye open and, hopefully, you’ll have an easier time getting to White Castle than Harold and Kumar.

Has anyone seen those Starbucks Insulated cups that they sell for ~$15?

They're going for around double that on ebay.

A co-worker's son asked him to get some and they sold out before 8AM and were limiting them to two per customer.

Wonder what's so special about them :dunno

 
The absolutly stupid stuff that people buy is astonishing, makes me feel stupid for not coming up with a dumb idea for a crappy product that will allow me to retire at age 34?
