Further proof of the decline of Western civilization

Hilatron makes the mistake of wandering into the home-decor section of Joann Fabrics, where she discovers Comfy Candle Warmers - designed to let you release the scent of scented candles without actually lighting them:
... I'm not sure I'm up to the task of articulating why the Comfy Candle Warmer fills me with horror. But: you buy a scented candle, a thing that by its very nature is meant to be burnt, and then...you buy something that saves you from burning it? I don't understand. You're afraid of fire? Want to preserve the candle for eternity (has anyone actually ever burned a scented candle all the way anyway)? You don't know about potpourri? What? Help! ...

invest in one, trust me
Actually, this is a great product, which I own many of... The theory is, you get the scent of whatever candle you've got, without the molten wax spilling onto your white carpet never to be removed despite Martha Stewart's best advice. It means you can leave the candle on all the time, sans fear of burning the house down, and the candle lasts forever, since you never use up the wick... And the lack of burning makes the candle's scent much stronger as well, sans the smoky house... Then again I almost burnt my house down with a Thanksgiving scented candle display so I'm partial....
