  • Did Anyone Else Get A Free Scented Oil Candle From Glade?

    What did I do to deserve this?

    Of course a wave of curiosity hit me when I found the little orange slip in the mailbox.
    I hadn't ordered anything.

      Perhaps someone sent me something!  A surprise.

    The small white box with little flowers on it was mystifying.  The return address hinted at some type of FREE SAMPLE,  and this was no little packet of shampoo,  no tiny toothpaste, this was a large FREE SAMPLE,  unless, this wasn't the original box.

    I hate to brag, but;

    It turned out to be a full sized scented oil candle from Glade,  something I have seen before but would not buy.  I don't go for artificially scented things in general, but something this BIG and this FULL SIZED, was a nice surprise.  

    The scent was 'spiced rose and vanilla',  which sounds really disgusting but it smells okay. 

    So now, the next morning it's like,   whoop-de-do, and what a nauseating scent....

    They claim to be natural now.  This will not sway me.

    It came with coupons for refills.

    I do have a thing for candles,  how did they know?  This thought is semi bothersome.

    I would never buy one of these disgusting things,  and rarely buy air fresheners in the supermarket, only for true odor emergencies.

      I'm sorry but EWWW.

    I do, however,  admit to a certain amount of JOY at getting something for free.  It's the best type of advertising, and I'm not talking about free sample,  I'm talking about FULL SIZED PRODUCT.

    SUPERSIZE ME BOY HOWDY!
    (god i haven't said that in a long time)

    I put it away, for a stinking day,   or the fall,  when spiced rose and vanilla might be a bit more appropriate. 

    It both disgusts me yet gave me a little lift at getting it free in the mail,  like a gift from a large corporation.   Obviously they know I despise these,  they want to reign me in.   It came to the post office and not the house so at least they don't know where I live.

    Did anyone else get one????

    ...who do they think I am?  Divine, in Polyester? 

    (the john waters movie)

    (do i dare interpret this as some type of gift from the gods related to the metaphoric interpretations of the significance of a candle / flame?, some type of help or inspiration or otherwise divine guidance?)
