Fast food giant McDonald's unveiled a Quarter Pounder Scented Candle Pack on Tuesday, giving its loyal customers the chance to enjoy one of its most popular menu items in between meals.
"For nearly 50 years the Quarter Pounder burger has been a craveable and delicious fan favorite. We know love is always in the air for our die-hard burger enthusiasts, so we launched the Quarter Pounder Fan Club to give everyone a tangible way to publicly display their affection for the hot and deliciously juicy 100% fresh beef Quarter Pounder," the chain announced on its corporate website.
In addition to the candle set -- which offers six scents: Bun, Ketchup, Pickle, Cheese, Onion, and 100% Fresh Beef -- McDonald's is also offering Couples Quarter Pounder Mittens, a 2020 Quarter Pounder Calendar, the "Quarter Pounder with Love" Locket for fans to keep the beloved burger literally close to their hearts, the Quarter Pounder Fan Club T-Shirt, an "I'd Rather Be Eating a Quarter Pounder" Sticker, and an official Quarter Pounder Fan Club Pin on its Golden Arches Unlimited merchandise site.
The candles are said to have an approximate burn time of 25 hours and are made of a soy wax blend, fine fragrance, essential oil, and a cotton wick. The Golden Arches Unlimited product page recommends burning them together, "for maximum deliciousness."
