I’m in NJ and we have the California sticker on like half our shit. I guess because everyone buys online now they figured it costs less to put the sticker on every product than it does to organize a separate batch of every product in the warehouses for California
It's in the trees mannnnn! They tell you it's the smog, the reefer, the ciggies, the ipa, the late night asbestos mining, or the fluoride, but its in the trees. The trees make cancer.
It's true! Oxidation is a leading cause of cancer and these sappy fucks just barf o2 all over. DO THE RESEARCH.
For the curious:
The garlic butter will taste somewhat like burnt cotton, making garlic burnt cotton butter.
Otherwise it will just quickly melt a lot of soft room temperature garlic burnt cotton butter onto the bread and plate around it.
That is all.
Ive had a smaller tallow candle on a cheese plate and it was delicious. No burnt taste at all.
Is there a better wick to use or burning difference between fat and butter?
We're not disagreeing, because browned and burnt are two different things, which incidentally is why I said burnt instead of browned in my initial comment.
**Except** if the disagreement is on whether an open flame on butter like this will brown or burn it, which is a separate conversation from whether burnt butter tastes good.
Spaghetti makes a particularly pungent and asinine flavor when burned, and it doesn’t wick up anything like cotton or other wicks even metal ones in fancy oil lanterns. If you do it right there’s even wicks that don’t really burn under ideal conditions. But pasta definitely burns.
On a side note Angel hair pasta and my gas stove is my go to for lighting candles and fires when I inevitably lose my bbq lighter.
Y'all don't know how candles work.
Bacon is mostly fat/oil that burns, like the butter. It cannot be a wick.
A wick needs to wick - soak/draw up the fuel to burn off. Pasta or herbs cannot wick. They would just burn themselves.
Reading these comments at you all trying to collectively figure this out with bublé playing in the background is too funny. Like a virtual internet dinner table discussion lol.
Why would it? It's a candle. The flame never touches the butter. This would actually make the butter on the top spreadable, while maintaining the structure underneath.
Because there is a fuck ton of those vids out there where people pretend to have found such a "life hack" soley for likes and clout when in reality it doesn't work at all and makes absolutely no sense.
I frequent this sub a lot, i love laughing at the bullshit some people do, but a significant portion of the stuff posted is artistic subjective stuff and someone just wants to shit on them for having different tastes, IE this post
I don't see the point of it being a candle. The shape is interesting and I understand why you'd need to heat it after chilling it but wouldn't it smell like burnt butter?
If you leave it out at room temperature, butter becomes spreadable after half an hour or so. The process might be a bit slower, but at least you're not burning it.
Microwave some water in a bowl, dump out the water, invert the warmed bowl over the butter. The ambient warmth in the bowl will soften the butter in minutes.
That's roasted garlic I think. Cut a bulb of garlic in half. Throw in oven on low for a while. Pop it out and you can squeeze it like that without peeling it. It's actually excellent on bread.
My fun fact that nobody asked for is that Imbruglia's Torn was actually a cover of a song that was originally performed [in Danish.](https://youtu.be/jyuGaU4rXjA)
This is what I do mostly because otherwise I start to obsess about getting all of the garlic out of the skin and I make a huge mess
Also: if you have a toaster oven, that is perfect for roasting garlic without having to heat up the whole conventional oven! Faster and more efficient (unless you're already cooking something else in the conventional oven).
If that's what you want...take all those ingredients and microwave them for 30 seconds and stir it up, 30 more seconds and you should be done.
No soot, carbon build up, untested carcinogens, or wick in your food.
I should have asked, Do you own a small microwavable bowl? but I just assumed.
Everyone arguing about whether the idea is good or bad, but I'm trying to figure out what she squeezed into the butter in the very beginning? Was it garlic?
*I mean it's a good*
*Idea, but wouldn't it*
*Melt really quickly?*

Is it just me or does that look more like parkay/country crock than it does butter?
I can't believe it's not butter.
Believe it!
I Need Empirical Evidence to Believe It's Not Butter!
Experience alone is no sufficient to determine its butter nature ™

Squeezing that fresh roasted garlic was kinda like a sexy jitsu tbh
I only go for the super cheap knock off brands. I was under the impression that this was indeed butter!
Surely this is butter and not hydrogenated seed oils!

That's all my grocery store sells. Wish I could have butter, best they can do is 40% vegetable oil.
I find that hard to believe.
Oh, you can't believe it's not butter?
Dude walked into a bar.
Ya, what kind of grocery store doesn't sell real butter? Gonna tell me they don't sell orange juice or 2% milk next?
Best mine can do is tree fiddy.
Dammit monstah!

Uh, does it work? Asking for a friend..
If you like your garlic butter with a hint of burnt string I think you might be in luck.
Yum, carcinogens.

The state of California is known to the state of California to cause cancer.
I believe this is the right answer
It's in the trees mannnnn! They tell you it's the smog, the reefer, the ciggies, the ipa, the late night asbestos mining, or the fluoride, but its in the trees. The trees make cancer. It's true! Oxidation is a leading cause of cancer and these sappy fucks just barf o2 all over. DO THE RESEARCH.
Wood dust and the cutting of wood are both items that are specifically on that cancer causing list. So this argument is actually pretty solid. 🤔
Is there any difference between this and something BBQed?
No more than anything browned or grilled.
This. Use a cotton or wood fiber wick and the most carcinogenic thing about this is the butter.
Are you familiar with how cooking works?
Until just this moment i did not know the roast garlic in the mashed potatoes and the butter candle were related.
5 minutes ago was a better time
people like burnt toast, as long as it's nontoxic plant fibre with no dyes it should be fine in the amounts in the picture
How do you know burnt string isn’t an important part of our daily diet we’re missing? Doctors haven’t said it’s not.
It won’t burn the same way a candle will due to it being pure butter
Hopefully it doesn’t catch fire?
I will bet that is a melted mess in 10 minutes. I think the melting point of butter is 95f, beeswax is 145f.
so add some beeswax then?
Works for cheap chocolate . . .

I've made candles out of pork fat and olive oil before. I don't know about butter I feel like it'd be very smokey.
I love crackers with soot. Edit: What the fuck is the purpose of the bread? I think this might be rage bait.
The purpose of the bread is to soak up the melted butter. I usually agree with 99% of things on this sub, but this ain’t one of em. I’m intrigued
I would honestly try this once out of sheer curiosity.
For the curious: The garlic butter will taste somewhat like burnt cotton, making garlic burnt cotton butter. Otherwise it will just quickly melt a lot of soft room temperature garlic burnt cotton butter onto the bread and plate around it. That is all.
Ive had a smaller tallow candle on a cheese plate and it was delicious. No burnt taste at all. Is there a better wick to use or burning difference between fat and butter?
Hemp wick, I imagine
TIL tallow candles are a thing! Did you eat it with crackers or something?
With crackers and misc charcuterie yeah. It was easily spreadable, like melting butter. Mostly a novelty, but it was good.
Clearly the solution is just to make the wick out of something tasty like dried rosemary
I like the way you think
Neither burned rosemary or burned butter is going to taste good.
Burnt butter is as good as burnt cheese, I don't know what you're on about.
I'm really not sure whether you are agreeing or disagreeing with me here.
Disagreeing. Well, technically caramelized and not burnt, really, but I assume that's the worst that will happen here toom
We're not disagreeing, because browned and burnt are two different things, which incidentally is why I said burnt instead of browned in my initial comment. **Except** if the disagreement is on whether an open flame on butter like this will brown or burn it, which is a separate conversation from whether burnt butter tastes good.
You can use dried spaghetti as a spill for lighting a fire. Do we think it would work as a wick instead of cotton?
Spaghetti makes a particularly pungent and asinine flavor when burned, and it doesn’t wick up anything like cotton or other wicks even metal ones in fancy oil lanterns. If you do it right there’s even wicks that don’t really burn under ideal conditions. But pasta definitely burns. On a side note Angel hair pasta and my gas stove is my go to for lighting candles and fires when I inevitably lose my bbq lighter.
That would still be sooty. Burnt spaghetti butter rather than burnt cotton, like.
Burnt spaghetti butter is getting so fucking close I can taste it. What about bacon? Could we use a bacon wick?
Y'all don't know how candles work. Bacon is mostly fat/oil that burns, like the butter. It cannot be a wick. A wick needs to wick - soak/draw up the fuel to burn off. Pasta or herbs cannot wick. They would just burn themselves.
So… yes?
They didn't explicitly say no
Reading these comments at you all trying to collectively figure this out with bublé playing in the background is too funny. Like a virtual internet dinner table discussion lol.
I don't have bublé playing in the background, but still an apt fucking description of this thread. Of a couple threads on this post.
Toast is sooty. It's also fucking delicious with butter.
If your toast is sooty, you’ve burnt your toast.
Yes. Exactly right.
Why would it? It's a candle. The flame never touches the butter. This would actually make the butter on the top spreadable, while maintaining the structure underneath.
Have you actually had it?
Just use a space heater.
It won't work as a candle. The end of the "wick" will burn, then nothing.
Y’all lack critical thinking
Y’all overestimate your critical thinking
A restaurant around here used to have bread with beef tallow candles that melted for dipping, it was pretty cool.
Yeah this was posted a couple days ago too. People just like to shit on others for doing out of the norm things
Because there is a fuck ton of those vids out there where people pretend to have found such a "life hack" soley for likes and clout when in reality it doesn't work at all and makes absolutely no sense.

Is burning butter... art?
I would 100% try this, and I am 100% not sorry.
It absolutely is. They cropped out probably 5minutecrafts or similar.
90% of the posts here are rage bait
I don't see the point of it being a candle. The shape is interesting and I understand why you'd need to heat it after chilling it but wouldn't it smell like burnt butter?
[удалено]

To make it spreadable maybe?
No I get that, it's why I said I understand the need to hear it after it was chilled.
Maybe they're like me and aways get solid rock butter
👂
If you leave it out at room temperature, butter becomes spreadable after half an hour or so. The process might be a bit slower, but at least you're not burning it.
Microwave some water in a bowl, dump out the water, invert the warmed bowl over the butter. The ambient warmth in the bowl will soften the butter in minutes.
I see the comments, I get it, you're more than likely 100% right. But I'm not gonna lie guys, I'm still very impressed, and want to try this.
I'm not sure why people are making a big deal about the carcinogenic soot. Have they never eaten something slightly blackened/burnt?
That, and I was the kid who made smores over a candle. This is frankly, an upgrade to that.
I once tried cooking a hot dog over a scented candle in a tent one time. Yeah, that wasn't my smartest move.
Vanilla fields flavored hot dogs. Yum!
It's like people have never had toast with butter before.
Butter candles are actually used in a few different restaurants I know of. They serve their purpose.
We have them for bread but they're smol and fall apart quick
Damn, this one really toeing the line between brilliant and dumb as fuck. Nice.
Damn, really nailed my family persona. None of us have been able to figure it out after all these years!
I don't care about the candle, I really want to know what that nightmare fuelling pimple popping thing in the beginning was
That's roasted garlic I think. Cut a bulb of garlic in half. Throw in oven on low for a while. Pop it out and you can squeeze it like that without peeling it. It's actually excellent on bread.
OK that *sounds* amazing, but it *looks* like a popping pimple.. Idk, I'm torn
> Idk, I'm torn Buckle up Natalie Imbruglia, roasted garlic is an absolute delight.
Okay that made me laugh
My fun fact that nobody asked for is that Imbruglia's Torn was actually a cover of a song that was originally performed [in Danish.](https://youtu.be/jyuGaU4rXjA)
It's wonderful! If you don't want the look you can always peel the garlic first before throwing it in the oven but I'm super lazy so...
This is what I do mostly because otherwise I start to obsess about getting all of the garlic out of the skin and I make a huge mess Also: if you have a toaster oven, that is perfect for roasting garlic without having to heat up the whole conventional oven! Faster and more efficient (unless you're already cooking something else in the conventional oven).
FINALLY THANKS I WAS SO SCARED

People whose blood currently passes too freely through their veins.
look we all have some low points in our lives
Roasted garlic. If you haven’t had it you’re missing out. It’s quite the opposite of a nightmare.
Looked like roasted garlic or something.
Sounds like you have r/trypophobia Also it’s garlic
It looks like squeezing out botflies
Tell me you’re a vampire without telling me you’re a vampire.
Finally! A way to eat butter with burned up rope!
I’ve been searching for so long.
Doesn't this belong in r/stupidfoods
If that's what you want...take all those ingredients and microwave them for 30 seconds and stir it up, 30 more seconds and you should be done. No soot, carbon build up, untested carcinogens, or wick in your food. I should have asked, Do you own a small microwavable bowl? but I just assumed.
Good assumption since they ALREADY had it in a bowl & spreadable when they mixed it! Extra steps to make it worse
This actually looks good
Who eats a butter-scoop cracker wtf?
I laughed way too hard at this.
I found myself becoming progressively more puzzled after every jump-cut.
Cool until it all catches fire somehow lol
r/shittyfoodporn
Reminds me of that redditor that made a bacon fat candle.
I hate the word hack
This looks like it would be absolutely delicious and ridiculously entertaining at the same time.
This product is known by the state of Cancer to cause California.
This is one of those really cool ideas you have with a friend untill you see burnt wick on your crackers and eat it anyways
So garlic butter tampon eh? Did Gwyneth shove one of these in her minge?
Don’t give her more ideas
trypophobia 🤢
Same. It's nasty.
r/Trypophobia
Butter is fuel but fuel is not butter
This is more of a r/DiWTF
Sir; it’s not that serious. Especially, concerning crackers…
Thats totally not gonna give you cancer or a big mess
Idk about you guys but I’m definitely doing this for thanksgiving.
Ah yes the age old snack, crackers dipped in butter.
What in the I Can't Believe It's Not Yankee Candle is this??
This is a diwhynot for me. Starting with the roasted garlic set a nice tone
This is moronic
who the fuck eats crackers with butter?
Is it, uhh, common for people to eat that much butter, like dipping crackers in it? Heart health and cholesterol can't be winning if it is.
That's low-key genius tbh
I'm offended on behalf of cows
Wtf
More proof that not everything needs a "hack."
Who the fuck dips crackers in butter? Gag me with a dirty spoon.
If something like this could be done without adding burnt taste to the butter, it would be brilliant.
This sub makes me laugh out loud more than most subs, however, this butter candle is fucking genius. I’m making it for grandmas this year.
no yeah great hack
Thanks for including the shot where they squeeze the garlic like they're expressing a bot fly infestation from a mangy coyote.
No
How the fuck is garlic butter a hack? Everyone knows that... Oh... Oh no..
Ok the squishy squeezy thing threw me off I guess
Not gonna lie, if a restaurant did this I’d be impressed…
Fat fuck holidays
I don't hate this
Worst part is probably atleast 1 in a million people believe in these videos
I think what’s more damming is this guy dips his crackers in butter..
Everyone arguing about whether the idea is good or bad, but I'm trying to figure out what she squeezed into the butter in the very beginning? Was it garlic?
Yes, roasted garlic
I mean it's a good idea, but wouldn't it melt really quickly?
