Scented candles are sold in malls, which have not been visited much this year.
Scented candles are given as gifts (to aunts, etc.), and many birthdays have been forgone this year.
Candle-making is a popular hobby this year.
Edit: weird downvotes. It shouldn’t need to be said that these ideas are presented for discussion. They’re not political statements.
- beaconstudios 6y agoThe tweet itself focuses on the drop in average rating this year, not quantity of sales. I didn't down vote you, but others may have because you aren't responding to the claim in the tweet, but an interpretation of the title.
- IfOnlyYouKnew 6y agoI did downvote them. For making absolutely no sense in the context of the article, for the weird non-sequitur about politics, and for the complaint about downvotes.
- 1123581321 6y agoThe downvote for mentioning downvotes is fair (it's against the guidelines here.) I read the article, of course, so the rest doesn't make sense since branching/speculative discussion is just fine.
- 1123581321 6y agoThat's a good point -- I overlooked that when I read the twitter thread. Thank you for correcting.
- Ace17 6y agoYour hypothesis would explain a decrease in sales ; but can it explain an increase of negative reviews?
- 1123581321 6y agoNo, it cannot. That's a good point I overlooked in the Twitter thread.
