When you open a can of Spam, you usually see a wad of precooked meat product, but Etsy shop owner Meredith Barnes has done the unthinkable to a recycled can of Spam. She has turned the meat container into a creative candle that smells like freshly baked pumpkin pie!
The perfect home decor product for your kitchen or living room, these pumpkin candles are made from 100% American-grown soy wax and have a cotton core wick. They are environmentally friendly, vegan and do not contain pesticides or chemicals. That means you can burn them to your heart's delight and they won't even produce black smoke.
Meredith Barnes' Spam candle is essentially a vegan tribute to the least-vegan thing on the market.
