    I’ve made a ball from the wax coating on Babybel cheeses that I snack on. This is now about 160 Babybels of wax.

      You should make a candle out of it that is shaped like a babybel

      [edit] A quick google search says that it won’t make a good candle; will melt quickly and make a mess.

      I was inspired to share this by the ball of used contact lenses that u/brygdylla shared. I’ve got my own weird ball of discarded material, in this case the wax taken from Babybel cheese wheels that I snack on at work.

      When I was a kid I’d use it like clay with my G.I. Joe’s. Until one night I put some on my incandescent night stand lamp and woke up to the smell of smoke hahahaha …. I was 10, didn’t put together heat+wax= melty

      I asked if there was anymore to it, and the OP confirmed that was the whole ball of wax.

      That’s about $89 worth if wax. (An 18 pack of Babybel cheese at my Walmart is $10.)

      Use it for sculpture. It’s easy to work and if you don’t like your sculpture just smash it and start over.

      “I also have one made from the tops of Maker’s Mark, but that’s a whole nother ball of wax.”

      Does is smell like funky toe jam and assholes ? Seems like eventually the cheese residue is going to get loud

      Sell it back to them when it becomes as large as that rolling rock in Indiana Jones

      How often do you snack on the wax ball? Is it filling? Are there any negative effects?

      We used to make models out of it as a kid. This one girl in highschool would make these really detailed models of dragons and other mythical creatures. The coolest one was a griffin that probably took around that much wax to make.

      But if I do this with Makers Mark suddenly I have a “problem” and “need to talk to someone”

      “This is now about 160 Babybels of wax.” anything but the metric system huh lol

      This is awesome! If you’re over 35 I would stay getting your triglycerides checked.

      That is much more satisfying to look at than the ball of contact lenses someone posted recently.

      Isn’t there a Wikipedia page of obscure units of measurement? You should add this one.
