If you're the kind of person who thinks there's no better smell than that of a fresh bag of takeout, you'll want to pick up 'The Maccas Run' candle.
Created by the Australian retailer Grey Lines, The Maccas Run candle is named after the adorable Australian term for McDonald's. With 30-hours of burn time, the candle gives off the scent of beef, bun, onion, pickle, cheese, ketchup, and mustard. In other words, for just $22 USD, you can fill your home with the aroma of a freshly made Big Mac.
Unfortunately, The Maccas Run candle is already sold out. However, Grey Lines has an entire lineup of other food-themed scents, including garlic bread, bubble gum, beer, and buttered popcorn.
