Hot & Crispy French Fry Candles - Set of 6

Golden wicks, saucy tricks. These french fry birthday candles look like a fresh order under the heat lamp, and then the ketchup starts to drip.

That drip is the whole joke. As each fry burns down, the red wax runs the way a squeeze bottle would, so the reveal lands in front of everyone at the table. Each candle stands about 2.4 inches tall, not counting the pick.

The set of six comes in a peggable window box with gold foil detailing, so the packaging does the selling before anyone strikes a match.

Fred has been turning everyday objects into small jokes since 1996, and the gag always survives the punchline: these are real, usable goods that just happen to be funny.

It arrives already looking like a present, which makes it an easy grab for a birthday, a hostess thank-you, a stocking, or the coworker who is impossible to shop for.
