The Tar Pit-Scented Candle combines two things that everyone loves: Dinosaurs, and the scent of tar.

Did you know that while the extinction of dinosaurs in general was (probably) caused by a meteor, the extinction of specific, individual dinosaurs was sometimes caused by poor decisions? Specifically, the decision to wade into a tar pit?

You see, unlike the soft and cuddly “participation award” time we live in, the Jurassic was an era of individual responsibility. That’s why the surface of the Tar Pit-Scented Candle features three adorable wax dinosaurs, poking their heads out of a cozy pit of tar (which, to be clear, is also made of wax).

And before you say, “But it’s too sad seeing dinosaurs trapped in a tar pit,” let me give you a reality check. How do you think a dinosaur would treat you? If dinosaurs were still around today, they would absolutely buy a candle showing humans trapped in a tar pit. They wouldn’t even think twice.

Does the Tar Pit-Scented Candle actually smell like tar? Let’s put it this way: if you’re generally a trustworthy person and you tell your houseguests in an authoritative voice that this is the scent of tar, they’ll probably believe you.

Not all fossils are dinosaurs.
And no dinosaurs were trapped in the tar pits.

And “tar”, or asphalt, is made of marine microorganisms from hundreds of millions of years ago—not dinosaurs. Buy this candle if you wish to support something not backed by science!
