I hate all scented candles ever

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 7 June 2012 20:50 (twelve years ago) link

maybe you just have shitty ones with bad scents rather than good ones that smell like bamboo or cilantro

was recently thinking that fake watermelon smell is the best fake smell

in fact I might think that fake watermelon TASTE is better than real watermelon taste, at least in the Jolly Rancher version

Euler, Thursday, 7 June 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link

jolly ranchers are the best fake tastes

mh, Thursday, 7 June 2012 20:57 (twelve years ago) link

the wax-scented candles are pretty inoffensive

Kudzu scented candles are really nice. I didn't even know kudzu flowers had a scent until a local candlemaker started selling them.

fake grapefruit scent is amazing, so long as it's not in a candol

spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Thursday, 7 June 2012 21:13 (twelve years ago) link

target's knockoff peak freans are NOT as good as genuine peak freans (though I called them and asked if they were made in the peak freans factory, and they were very cagey about it.) target's tim tams ARE as good as genuine tim tams, or at least they're as good as taiwanese tim tams.

Philip Nunez, Thursday, 7 June 2012 22:03 (twelve years ago) link

^ these are made up things

spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Thursday, 7 June 2012 22:06 (twelve years ago) link

"peak freans", for instance, is clearly a drug reference

spextor vs bextor (contenderizer), Thursday, 7 June 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link

anything canadian is a drug reference. e.g. toques, Rush

Philip Nunez, Thursday, 7 June 2012 22:07 (twelve years ago) link

knockoff timtams are satisfactory when the real thing is not available but they aren't as good as the real thing imo

I hate that AC mOORE smell of "every synthetic fraganace in the worl d at once"

The Cheerfull Turtle (Latham Green), Friday, 8 June 2012 12:58 (twelve years ago) link

Target started carrying a lot more aspirational soap + candle brands like Caldrea and stuff

I think it's the same company as that Meyer's Green Day cleaning products stuff, actually

I am a 31 year old male who likes buying cleaning products and stuff that smells good don't judge me

I got two of those candles the other day. They're soy ones that smell fresh and awesome and not heavily perfumed or cloying like YC. Yes, I bought them at Target. I may have a small Target problem.

mh, Friday, 8 June 2012 19:45 (twelve years ago) link

i am starting to accept that i love going to target. the way every store is the same bc target stores are always newer than walmart stores makes me feel like i am in the same store all the time even at a different location. that makes no sense to anyone. anyway i like to buy cleaning products that smell good. i get the "natural" dish soap and detergent and method stuff. i don't like to clean though!

kneel aurmstrong (harbl), Saturday, 9 June 2012 14:01 (twelve years ago) link

I'm going to Target now! Anyone need anything?

target smells like plastic offgassing to me. walmart smells like newspaper recycling plant. costco smells like cardboard.

Philip Nunez, Saturday, 9 June 2012 14:36 (twelve years ago) link

A new super Target is opening two blocks from my work, so now I can pick up grocery items on the way home. I haven't lived in a Walmart friendly area since they became ubiquitous so I have only been to Walmart once ~ 1997, on a special trip with a friend who was going for a particular thing. I have actively fought against Walmart's business practices but tbh if they open one of their city sized grocery stores walking distance from our house, I would shop there.

carl agatha, Saturday, 9 June 2012 14:37 (twelve years ago) link

Since Target started one state away, we have had them forever. I remember going to Target 25 years ago, long before Wal-Mart came here.

mh, Saturday, 9 June 2012 15:17 (twelve years ago) link

I should clarify that there are no other grocery stores w/in easy walking distance. If there were, I would not embrace a Walmart.

carl agatha, Saturday, 9 June 2012 15:20 (twelve years ago) link

Can I ask what the heck Target Commercial Interiors is? There's one near my house and it's one of those stores that feels too mysterious to enter.

Word of Wisdom Robots (Abbbottt), Saturday, 9 June 2012 15:25 (twelve years ago) link

it sounds like it's run by the weather underground

how do u hug a walmart with nuclear arms

Peppermint Patty Hearst (VegemiteGrrl), Saturday, 9 June 2012 15:45 (twelve years ago) link

We've got a Walmart Neighborhood Market next door to a Walmart Supercenter. It's ridiculous.

Can you use a Target gift card to buy a Starbucks gift card?

if you feel bad about buying something from walmart but you buy stuff from amazon you gotta recheck your feelbad math, amazon is really worse than both these guys.

anyway I like walking around these stores. they will make great megachurches.

iatee, Monday, 11 June 2012 02:05 (twelve years ago) link

Amazon is pretty evil up and down the line. The stories about their warehouse operations etc., plus I've heard that they fuck suppliers over hardcore.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 11 June 2012 02:07 (twelve years ago) link

and they have a side project where they discovered that the market clearing wage in america is like 50 cents an hour

iatee, Monday, 11 June 2012 02:08 (twelve years ago) link

Too busy to read what you're saying too busy clicking on my amazon order.

I have a friend who did warehouse/back room work at Target in Minneapolis and apparently the downtown one is a coveted position and is kind of fun.

mh, Monday, 11 June 2012 02:17 (twelve years ago) link

i find target as depressing as the kmarts of yore
