Humankind Candles

Snack Review: Green Apple

Texture? Crisp. Pleasing crunch. A very satisfying sound experience, if not a flavor one.

Flavor? Tangy. Tart. A little too reminiscent of the pickle incident, but without the emotional hostility. It’s like it wanted to be refreshing but accidentally startled me instead.

I give it a 4.5/10. Slightly below the blueberry, but definitely better than banana. Might’ve been a bad apple. Will consider re-testing with a different breed.

Would eat again. Would not request. Would absolutely drop on the floor to see if someone else wanted it first.

Snack Review: Strawberry Jam & Sourdough (ft. /humankind candles)

Note: I was banned from taste testing the candle, so I requested the next best thing, the food that inspired the scent.

Texture?
Bread: crisp crust, chewy center. Satisfyingly complex. Took my time with it.
Jam: smooth, glossy, sticky. An elegant contrast.

Flavor?
Jam was the star. Sweet, deep, a little tangy. Tasted like it was made by someone in overalls with a secret berry patch and a very old dog.

Overall?
8/10. A quiet, confident snack. Would savor again. Would cry if the toast fell and landed jam-side down.

Candle Smell Review:
11/10. Absolutely transporting and impressively accurate. Snuck several extra sniffs during testing. Nearly got myself another ban. Worth it.

Thanks to @samantha, and to whoever invented jam. Visionary work from both.
