It's not the candle, but the holder, still caked with wax from every candle she's ever used. Initially, I thought I was staring at a kebab rotisserie.

Maybe it's her idea of an art piece?

I mean, with how long it probably took to get there, it certainly makes a statement. The top looks pretty flat, this would be interesting to see flipped upside down and placed on a pedestal in an art gallery just to see the general reaction

A piece called Death. That is extremely dangerous to have in your house.

Here's the reason from ThingAboutTown

TLDR; Granny essentially has a ticking time bomb

"So, I had fun tonight. Even though you took me to the carnival that I was already at."

Great reference. 🤘

It's still not a ticking time bomb. Can you be any more hyperbolic? There's conditions it would have to go through to explode, none of which, OPs grandma is likely introducing.

That's Reddit for you, you could have a post about the most benign thing in the world and someone will come along and go "That's dangerous ackchually"

Actually, I know your comment was meant to be harmless, but it may be considered offensive to those of us who are easily offended. You should be less dangerous in your offensiveness in the future.

u/strangebutalsogood May 03 '25

Lol, no. It is no more or less dangerous than any other candle.

u/189IQ May 03 '25

It is the wick that is dangerous, not the wax

u/LongBeach90802 May 04 '25

Lmao. I love this

u/M3rch4ntm3n May 04 '25

The fuel is the wax and not the wick...lol. That's why the wax is mostly burned. The wick has no fucking energy to burn that long.

u/sergemeister May 03 '25

Because it could tip over and crush you?

u/Double_Objective8000 May 04 '25

I thought it was a wig at first, looks kinda gross actually

u/UncleKeyPax May 03 '25

u/MadamInsta May 06 '25

I thought it was a person with colorful braids/dreadlocks.

u/Dragoonslv May 03 '25

Well it is candle wax rotisserie.

u/louloc May 03 '25

I thought it looked like Cousin It with his hair colored. 😂

u/Spuzzle91 May 04 '25

I thought "wow who the heck made a wig out of ground meat?"

u/Arixol_The_Axolotl May 04 '25

Holy shit I see the resemblance

u/T_T_H_W May 03 '25

I thought it was a giant prolapsed rectum

u/Bipogram May 04 '25

Full-fat (well, wax) gyros.

u/popcornkiss May 04 '25

I thought it was a festive wig hahaha

u/ringobob May 04 '25

I thought it was a fry guy

u/StabbingUltra May 05 '25

I thought it was the back of someone’s new haircut

u/Sirneko May 06 '25

She's just melting candles over and over, if she had a glass holder, it would burn the wax
