There aren't many things you CAN'T do that with.

If I don't like them it's probably because it's scented and makes my allergies go nuts 😟
PSA: Don't give scented candles to your friends who keep invertebrate pets. There is some evidence that aerosolized scents can cause dyskinetic syndrome, which is a terrible way to go.
They're a terrible gift. I have a zillion candles they I keep around and can't quite get around to throwing away
You could burn them... In a big pile....
The soot.
i have irritant-induced asthma and if there's a lit candle in the room with me I breathe significantly worse and have to cough a lot
They are consumables so you can just say you used the up if anyone asks.
As a person who is difficult to buy for (not because I want special things but because I don't really want anything), candles are ideal as I either like them and use them, or can say I did. Much better that something I am expected to wear or constantly display in my home.
I like giving bacon scented candles to my vegan friends to remind them of what they’re missing.
That would fall under the category of a dick move.
Is it a dick move if they’re vegan bacon scented candles though?
That's up to them.
But you called the original comment and I quote a dick move so I thought it was up to you?
It's always up to the receiver how a gift is accepted.
So why did you unilaterally decide that a bacon scented candle to a vegan is a dick move?
You seem to be under the impression my opinion counts for anything. You should stop that.
I care about your opinion.
Most of the candle is designed very specifically so that it will not, in fact, catch fire and burn.
If you give me a candle as a present, you are not my friend anymore.
And they never go bad so you can just slap a new label on the gift and give it to someone else next Christmas
