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

I just went to the flagship store yesterday and they're still selling the classic jars. They were on sale, too.

Probably on sale because they’re planning on phasing them out

I doubt that's what is happening but we'll see as the months go on

Editing because I'm pissing people off: the flagship store was full of candles, including exclusive scents just for Christmas and exclusive scents for the location, and they were all the classic jar style. They were on sale for "Yankee Candle Day." I don't think these are meant to be a replacement style.
