Candles offer a whiff of White Castle burgers

COLUMBUS (AP) — Fans craving merely the aroma of an oniony White Castle hamburger can now indulge themselves with a White Castle scented candle.

The fast-food chain based in Columbus, this week introduced candles infused with the smell of its “slyder” burgers in a promotion with Autism Speaks. Proceeds from the sale of the $10 candles will benefit the New York-based charity.

The candles, sold at White Castle restaurants and on the company’s Web site, resemble a packaged White Castle burger. The wax is encased in a ceramic holder that looks like a slyder’s cardboard sleeve.
