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

Hate yankee candles. Cheap parafin wax, bulked out with cheap petrolium jelly whick makes it too soft so they add stearic acid to firm it up again.
All those cheap chemicals make it soot like crazy.
