It's hot and I can't get one of my windows to open, which blows. I was just tidying up the kitchen when all of a sudden I thought, "What IS that substance horrid cheap candles are made out of, which they call wax, but isn't really wax except by a chemically defined technicality?" It has a few similarities to wax, but it melts at a low temperature and smells filthy. Sidestep: The Old'n Dayes of tallow candles must've been hell on wheels - gah, horrid. I'm not much of a candle fan anyway as I like to see, and if I light a candle it's because my trizzities have gone out, but if I were to light a candle out of some strange love of candles I'm damn sure I'd use beeswax.
I'd google it, but it's probably just another example of how modern life has made so many things cheap and nasty. Blah.

it is just none of your beeswax what those stoopid candles are made of! Paraffin ... Isn't that a relative of kerosene? My beeswax candles smell like honey when they are burnt and they last longer and drip less. Save the bees!
Yes, it's a petroleum thing, but it's disgusting, and why anyone would do that I have no clue.
Is there some reason why everything at this time has to be made from petroleum? It's horrible.
/me is cranky.
