Symptom tracking via Yankee Candle reviews

Via SciBabe on facebook...

There are angry ladies all over Yankee Candle’s site reporting that none of the candles they just got had any smell at all. I wonder if they’re feeling a little hot and nothing has much taste for the last couple days too.

Perhaps Bojo should send one to everyone. Cheaper than other tests.

I had a bit of a headache a couple of weeks ago and kept sniffing the toothpaste as my Covid test

Interestingly there seems to be a midwinter dip every year, in that the five-star averages disappear between December and April ish.

Unless that's just people getting candles they didn't like for Christmas and then going on Amazon to write a review for some reason.

I've stopped saying "pardon" when I fart, I just tell the wife I'm doing a health check on her.

That's a good way to ensure that it won't be covid that you die of.

You never started saying pardon.

It was suggested for somewhat comical effect that the number of Amazon reviews complaining that Yankee Candles don't have any smell, mirrors the current rate of Covid infections.

Now it has been demonstrated fairly robustly that this is in fact the case.
