Man Cans, a new line of scented candles from 13-year-old Hart Main, was born when the Ohio teen started ragging on his sister for selling girly scented candles for a school fundraiser — and saw an opening in the market. His candles, naturally, are supposed to emit a much more masculine note, with scents including bacon, coffee, “Grandpa’s Pipe,” New York–style pizza, sawdust, and leather baseball mitt. “Flapjacks” is still available, but will soon be discontinued.

Wow queerty. Why don’t you just toss this little kid into the Crocodile Pit at the Bronx zoo?

@Kieran: Now, now, that’s just a cruel thought.
What have those poor crododiles done to deserve that…?!

@One of the CA 36,000:
What is with that comment? Is this kid a homophobe because he is making candles that I would imagine the majority of men would prefer over whatever Yankee Candle is selling?
Silver
Who cares? Also, and God forgive me for saying it, but that kid looks like a vampire.

Seriously, Silver, what a bitchy thing to say. Thanks for affirming homophobes’ dearly held belief that gay men are both superficial and stupid.
And, while I’m at it, I DO prefer the candles he’s selling to the nauseatingly feminine aromatheraphy crap that most other candlemakers have. This kid is going places.

If a comment on Queerty is all that’s “confirming the homophobes’ dearly held belief(s) that gay men are both superficial and stupid” then we must truly have progressed in absolute terms from our struggles in the 1950s and 60s. What a blessing. Perhaps with just a little bit more passionate rhetoric on a gay blog, we can reach our goal of marriage equality, alleviate the epidemic of homelessness among gay teenagers, and get international sanctions against Uganda and Jamaica to boot. Give me a break.
