But selling a green ogre ass candle requires a few big decisions. For example, what should a green ogre ass candle smell like? When Abby uploaded the sample candles to TikTok, she expected engagement from just family and friends. She was not expecting the TikTok to get almost 3 million views and more than 7,000 comments — but it did. The entrepreneurs responsible are Abby and Nuvia Zepeda, two sisters in El Paso, Texas, who run a small company called Oddball Candles. (Abby is 21 and Nuvia is 24.) Their philosophy is that candles with smooth, flat surfaces are boring. Instead, they want to create objects that show off their "weirdo" personalities. If, at any time during the process, the need to void becomes urgent simply go to the toilet as normal; the candle will instanteously go out when it becomes vertically oriented and, furthermore, the candle is 100% soluble and septic-safe so there's no need to dispose of it in any other fashion. The used ButtCandle ™ should not be handled by anyone and kept out of reach of small children and household animals.

As the candle burns, a vacuum will be created within the rectum and thereby draw out the stubborn fecal material. A gurgling sound and sensation is not uncommon or cause to worry. The candle will snuff itself after approximately 5 minutes. As soon as it took off, we just kind of realized, wow. We can really just do whatever we want now.” Abby said. “And we could just go like, full weird, because that's really what ... inspired us to even start making candles in the first place. Just like, we have all these crazy ideas.” The candle, which is aptly named "Swamp Ass," started as a joke, the sisters explained in an interview. The two saw a meme featuring the same design on a cake (a mild Reddit phenomenon) and thought it was funny, so Abby Photoshopped the design onto a candle. Then, the sisters sent it to their family and some friends, who "gently bullied" them into making a few prototypes. As Oddball Candles scales up, the sisters will also need to decide on new designs. Based on the reaction to the Swamp Ass candle, they plan to lean more into pop culture references — and they're not ruling anything out.The comments were just the most hilarious thing that we’ve ever seen,” Nuvia said. “And it was very touching to see how people were reacting to it.” Going forward, the sisters plan to aim high. They hope to expand their business to in-person shopping eventually, and want to invest in equipment to help them work more efficiently. Right now, Abby works on Oddball Candles full-time, while Nuvia works a 9-to-5 job and makes candles on nights and weekends. They're currently using wax-melting pitchers that can hold only enough wax to make four to five candles at a time, but have their eyes on a pot that can melt enough wax for batches of 19. (The pot also has a spout at the bottom, which will make it easier to pour wax into jars.)
