Did no one test this before they just rolled it out?
Bath & Body Works debuted a new “Pizza & Ranch” candle last month. But “People” magazine says they’ve already discontinued it because it was making people GAG.
The description on their website probably should have tipped us off. It says it has notes of “gooey cheese”, and do you really want your entire HOME to smell like cheese? The other scents in it are “ranch” and “crispy pepperonis.”
A TikTok went viral last week where a bunch of girls smelled it in a store and looked like they might puke. Someone in the comments said they smelled it too, and their “life flashed before [their] eyes.” (Here’s the video.)
@laurenslyfeeee This is your sign to never try the pizza and ranch and the chips and salsa candles from bath and body works. #fyp #pizzandranchcandle #gross #disgusting #gonnarech @Anna @katiie.powers
It might still be available at some of their locations. But it’s now sold out on the Bath & Body Works website and “People” says they’re not restocking it.
They’d recently dropped the price from $26 to eight bucks. It’s got a rating of 1.5 stars with over 200 reviews.
It was part of a new line of candles called “Perfect Pairings”. The other three are Coffee & Donuts, Popcorn & Slushie, and Chips & Salsa. The girls in the video said the Chips & Salsa one was also pretty rank.
