Candle wamers...
My friend, after reading her the story of the candle warmer, just said to me "Candle warmers? Aren't they already warm when they're lit?"

Would you believe that I saw people licking the bottom of the same plastic see through display "rubber ducky" that is supposed to light up in the water-filled tub. I guess people just had to see if it worked. But, they must have lost their senses about the possibility of flu germs, etc.

You are hilarious. Is there really a fruit clock? It wouldn't really surprise me after some of the things I saw yesterday in some of the stores. I agree with you about the candlewarmer. I want good old fashioned scented candles. LOL

when i first read the word "fruitclock", i imagined it was a clock made
out of a
fruitcake, thereby giving everyone a use for the least-welcomed christmas tradition. i mean, doesn't that make sense? make the fruitcake using a bundt mold, put the mechanics of the clock in the center and plug it into the cake.

Joe--- Okay, I'm lost here. I like candles. I burn candles. But what the
heck is a "candle warmer." And where can I find one of those "fruitclocks"?

Children starving in Africa and he wants to use food as a clock battery. A well placed call to Sally Struthers will sort him out. :D

Joe Love,
The Monster here sounds endearingly like Tim the toolman Taylor... kind of. I want a fruit clock too, and I have never heard of a candle warmer. - You learn something every day - all this and humour too.

Naut
A candle warmer is intended to put the scent in the air without burning up the candle but as Joe explains all it really does is ruin the candle!

Joe Love, I'm in bit of a rush,
I haven't had time to read all the comments, so forgive me if this question has been asked and answered before - but a
candle warmer? What in Heaven's name is the use of a
candle warmer??? It seems to make even less sense than, say, an electric
comb...

I love NICE candles, Joe Love...but I also love off-the-wall retro "finds".
I can't take sides... One of my favorite pastimes is perusing high end online catalogs, and then going to big Lots and reproducing the look at home. "Design on a Dime"?...I can do better with pennies!

Tanga. . , it's to throw a scent of a candle into the air
without burning it. It basically liquifies the candle. Guess what happens to the wick when you do this??

I'll leave it up to you Joe...just don't allow the Monster any input, he sounds like he has taste like Carl...believe me, I have spent ten years trying to improve that. The last thing he did that showed good taste was marry me!
