We were wasting time in the mall last night and passed one of those White Barn candle stores. Like always, it was packed with women. Women just love scented stuff like that, but there wasn't a man to be found anywhere. One of us speculated that the reason for that was that candle scents are usually too foo-foo for men, and that men needed equal treatment. So we decided that men needed a line of scented candles just for them, and we started coming up with ideas:

Pit Grease
Day Old Pizza
Summertime Locker Room
Favorite Sneakers
Burrito Fart
Freshly Mown Turf
Beer
Phlegm
Grilled Bratwurst
Wet Dog
Ben Gay
Truck Tire Mud

I'm thinking there's possibly some real money in this.

UPDATE 7/28/2008
Someone stole my idea.

Seriously... some of the scents came directly from my post. Who do I sue???

Most of those smells are ones we make or attain without scented candles.

That said, the Bratwurst and beer scents would be great.
You just then need to add Bacon to the list!

Heh - my brother-in-law bought a house a few years ago and inherited a candle with naked women all over it (the previous owner had left it). They use it now.

In case any of my family, relatives, etc. read this - people who might shop and get me a gift for my birthday or father's day

PLEASE, do NOT buy me a beer scented candle. Ask my wife what brand of beer I've been drinking & get me a 6 pack of that instead.
PLEASE, do NOT buy me a day old pizza scented candle. Have a hot pizza delivered to me fresh at 11pm any night of the week.
PLEASE, do NOT buy me a fresh cut grass candle. Surprise me and mow my lawn for me.
PLEASE, do NOT buy me a "dressed up vagina" candle...

:p

I think you've missed the point as well. Look at the date of my original post. Then look at the date the mandles site was registered (link in the thread). Look at the names of the candle scents that Mandles has posted. Then tell me who stole from whom.

obviously not. and they only have, what, 3 or 4 that are similar/same to his out of their 20+ offerings so, again, follow through by OP was lacking. coulda had a fine line of mandles, now he's got a rant.

Mandles was established in 1907. You fail.

Being that they have the scent "Burrito Fart" I think it's a safe assumption they saw your post and copied that scent, at a minimum.

I agree. That one is the real giveaway. The real question: who is the culprit behind this dastardly thievery??? Surely not one of ATOT's fine outstanding members...

I don't know, the fact that they have Chuck Norris' sweat and you don't pretty much makes you wrong. I'm not saying you didn't come up with the idea, or even that they stole from you, but Chuck Norris' sweat trumps all. It's an actual legal defense in copyright infringement suits.

That and the site seems to be a parody (obviously). You can't actually buy any of those. What a tease.

Just wait for Chuck Norris to sue them for unlawful usurpation of his celebrity rights and then join in the suit
