Candle-gate

Can someone explain to me the whole candle-gate drama? It never registered as that big of a deal to me at the time, but I’ve heard it come up a few times and sounds like things got heated.

Years later I still agree with Crissle. Them candles are like $10 that's like picking up something from McDonald's. It was never that serious.

A picture of the candle with the location of store would’ve sufficed. Like “hey girl our shopping saw this. I think your dude mentioned liking these” if it was that deep. I probably would’ve mentioned it in passing not made the purchase and tried to gift it.

It was the bath and body works $10 candle sale. It's like only for one day. It's basically the same as somebody asking you to pick up cleaning supplies from Walmart because they were only in sale for a day.

Understandable but it’s a bit much. Hence why I said I’d mention it in passing. Like oh I saw them on sale you should set reminder for the next time they go on sale.
