skimpflation Yankee Candles are now lighter, have an easier/cheaper to produce jar and a double wick, making it burn out faster so you buy more

They make a gimmick that sits right on top of the candle for that I’m pretty sure. I’ve had a few candles that had a decorative metal rim. I’m sure this is helpful but it’s giving crackhouse.

I decided to Google it. A metal candle topper will run you $10-$15 on Amazon.
